When choosing a color, be sure to keep in mind the color in the room that can’t be changed, like a stove or counter top color.

There are so many ways to incorporate a color into any kitchen.

Put Up Vintage Signs

Search the Internet or favorite stores for fun old signs that go well with your kitchen size and color scheme. Even better, use some art, signs, or posters you already have. You can make things you already own look vintage with a great frame or added fade.

Add a Natural Touch

You can even use wicker baskets in the kitchen for holding cloth napkins and utensils.
