The most obvious way to bring color into your kitchen nook is to change the wall color. Warm colors such as yellow or pumpkin are cheerful choices for a kitchen nook. Other popular choices include sage green for its soothing effects and white or cream for a clean, bright look.
Color has been proven to affect your appetite. If you have a few extra pounds to lose, consider painting your kitchen nook blue, which is proven to suppress the appetite. Orange and red, on the other hand, intensify it. -
A popular option for breakfast nooks is built-in seating, diner-style. You will need to select cushions for your banquet seating. Or perhaps you prefer cafe-style metal chairs, which also require cushions. Cushions are another opportunity to introduce color into your kitchen nook. In choosing a color for the cushions, don't try to directly match the wall color, but rather choose a complementary color. You might also consider a pattern for your cushions.
For example, if you are following a French country style, you might paint the walls yellow and choose a blue and white floral print for the cushions. If you are going for a more modern look, you might choose a warm orange for the walls with bright blue solid cushions. - Another way to bring color to your kitchen nook is to choose nontraditional furniture. A mosaic tile table is a way to add personality to your kitchen nook, and you can even create it yourself. If DIY is not your style, select a brightly painted wood or plastic table and coordinating chairs. Don't be afraid to go bold; a kitchen nook is a place to have your coffee in the morning and prepare for your day, so stimulating colors are an appropriate choice.
- Your breakfast nook design comes together when you choose the right accessories. Add a punch of color by setting the table with a vase of fresh flowers. If you prefer a more modern look, arrange green apples or limes in a metal bowl. Cover an old or worn table with a bright, patterned tablecloth (checked is classic), or accentuate a new table with natural bamboo placements for a touch of texture.
- Your kitchen nook should be a warm, cozy place that you can enjoy your morning coffee and paper or whatever ritual you prefer. Your approach to its decor may depend on the design of your kitchen and the connection between these spaces. Although your kitchen nook should flow well with your kitchen design, you should also add touches to make it a special, private space. Whether your tastes range from traditional to modern, the colors of your kitchen nook should reflect your style.
