The kitchen is a room which can easily look cold and sterile if you’re not careful in your decor and color choices when decorating your home. However, here is a little advice to help you create a sunny and welcoming kitchen in your home.

This example admittedly borders on kitsch but that is a style which will never be accused of being boring. Our advice is to start with a bold color for the walls like a bright, rich blue and couple that with yellow accents and a spattering of white, and there is your color base.

Choose yellow accessories like tea towels and add vases of fresh yellow flowers to the bench top or table. Make sure your crockery follows the blue and yellow theme and you can even repaint your kitchen chairs or stools to match the yellow and blue theme too – you probably have some paint left over from the walls anyway.
