Have you ever stopped to think that the color of your kitchen can make a big difference in the atmosphere it promotes? Colors are powerful and affect all of us. Just think of it; something so seemingly simple as the daily choice of clothes we wear can affect our outlook on the day. At the same time, it gives a message to others about our current frame of mind. The same holds true for the kitchen. The color of your kitchen affects people’s moods.
It is said that kitchens with fresh, invigorating, bright colors such as red, yellow and orange are stimulating and will increase appetite. Kitchens with cooler colors such as green, blue, violet and indigo will help you relax and decrease appetite. (Makes me wonder if doctors have ever suggested changes in kitchen color to help with weight loss...)
Yes, colors speak volumes without using words. What mood do you want to set in your kitchen? Do you want it to be a place full of life and stimulation, or do you want it to be a place where you can calm down and relax?
How Do You Decide The Color of Your Kitchen?
Just as an aside, since it’s Easter, can’t you just remember Grandma’s light mint green or blue kitchen with white lace curtains, sunshine, action, family and friends, and lots of laughter?
Happy Easter and enjoy the weekend!
