Choosing colors think about the kitchen size. If you have a kitchenette, dark or too bright hues will look inappropriate. What is more, brown, dark-gray, red, blue and other dark colored tones will visually lessen your kitchen and will look gloomy and oppressive. That is why to choose fair pastel hues. They will let more place and air into your kitchen.

But be careful with using too many bright hues for they may make you feel tired. Incorporate them as accents and think about possible future changes in decoration. That is why; there is no need to make non-replaceable items or parts colored too brightly.
