Coffee ColorsFood is a fitting and popular theme for a kitchen. If you decide to select a food theme, narrow it down to either a specific food, such as coffee or apples, or a particular food group, such as cocktails or vegetables. While you can certainly look for items with patterns or embellishments that match your kitchen's theme, don't stop there. Use the theme to dictate wall colors, countertops and backsplashes as well. When shopping for items with a food theme, restrict your color palette to two or three main colors associated with the food you have chosen. For example, a coffee-themed kitchen would likely be dressed in rich browns, soft tans and creamy whites, while an apple-themed kitchen might be adorned in deep reds, bright greens and stark whites. -
Delicate China Suits an English Themed KitchenAnother idea for a kitchen theme is to select a region that is close to your heart or one that you have long dreamed of visiting. For example, a French country-themed kitchen would likely have sunflower-yellows, verdant greens and bright reds. Adornments such as vividly colored roosters and scrolled wrought-iron pieces would enhance the style. An old English-themed kitchen might have delicate floral patterns on window treatments and tea towels, along with lavish dark wood furnishings. A Tuscan-themed kitchen would benefit from earthy tones enhanced by brilliant yellows and oranges. -
Decorate in Team ColorsWhen deciding on a theme for your kitchen, you cannot go wrong if you select something about which you are passionate. There is no right or wrong if you love the theme. Some ideas include your favorite sports team, favorite animal or even your favorite pastime. For example, you could deck out your kitchen in the colors of your much-loved football team. Or you could shop for fabrics and knickknacks that reflect your fondness for parakeets or your passion for airplanes. It might take a while for you to hunt down the ideal pieces for your themed kitchen, but even this can become an enjoyable hobby. You will end up with a kitchen where you truly feel at home.
