Home Decor Colors

The modern kitchen is as much a gathering place for friends and family as it is a place to prepare food. As such, you'll want to set the proper mood in the kitchen for your gatherings. One of the important ways to do this is through color. Whether you want your kitchen to feel bright and airy, or small, cozy, and intimate, the proper choice of color will go a long way towards setting the proper mood.
Different colors have different effects on different people. Red will affect you differently than green will. By the same token, blue may have a different effect on you than it does your neighbor. When you choose your color scheme for your kitchen, you need to make the decisions on what colors to use. It's your kitchen, and you'll be spending the most time in it, so you need to decide what colors match your wants for your kitchen. These are only guidelines in choosing colors, the final decision will be yours.
Think of whether you want a cozy, intimate kitchen, or an more open feel. The right color choices can help. Darker tones will visually shrink a room, making it feel smaller and more intimate. Whites, light yellow, and other light colors can help to visually open up the space, and make a small room feel larger, and more open.

Earth tones are good choices for kitchen decor. Tans and browns can help to ground your kitchen, and create a sense of ease, and closeness. Earth tones are generally neutral colors, and will match well with several other colors as accent colors in the cabinets, trim, and kitchen decor.
