How to Decorate a Kitchen With Red, Blue & Beige

A vase of fresh red flowers makes an ideal table centerpiece.

Decorating a kitchen with a red, blue and beige color scheme will give the space a fresh, nautical appeal. The classic color combination will infuse the room with a casually elegant flair. Navy or medium blue and beige will add an understated touch to the decor scheme, while vibrant red will give the kitchen a lively pop of color. The colors work well with all wood colors, from light oak to dark cherry or mahogany, so your current kitchen table is sure to work with the new decor.

Things You'll Need

• Beige wall paint
• Red tablecloth and curtains
• Blue vase
• Red and white flowers
• Decorative beige kitchen towels
• Wrought iron towel rack
• Bakers rack
• White ceramic canisters featuring blue designs
• Kitchen utensils

Instructions

1. Paint the kitchen walls beige to provide a neutral backdrop to vibrant blue and red decor. Use white paint around the trim for a fresh contrast.

2. Cover the table with a cherry red cloth as a vibrant touch. Hang red curtains in the kitchen windows for a coordinating look.

3. Fill a blue glass vase with fresh red and white flowers, such as roses, calla lilies or daisies, and place them in the middle of the table as a striking centerpiece.

4. Display decorative kitchen towels on wrought iron racks for both convenience and visual interest. Choose taupe towels featuring red embroidered crab or lobster designs. Drape matching towels over the top of a vintage baker's rack for a complementary look.

5. Add decorative and useful white ceramic canisters featuring navy blue sea-inspired designs, such as lighthouses or anchors, to the kitchen countertop. Use the canisters to store wooden spoons, spatulas, ladles and other kitchen utensils.
