When it comes to adding color to your kitchen, nothing makes a statement like going red. Trust us, it's not only a bold choice, it's a tone that's on trend for all the right reasons. Adding warmth, energy, and a pop of fun, red comes in so many shades, you really have endless choices on which direction to take. Plus, it breaks up what usually is neutral space and can turn it into a special place.
From cabinets and walls to appliances and backsplashes, there's no need to paint the whole town red when it comes to your kitchen. But we've got some ideas to bring you a spark to the heart of your home just where you need it.

2. Paint the Walls
Another way to bring the bright tone into your kitchen space is painting an accent wall or walls a deep red. You can live with it as long as you want, or switch out the shade when you're ready to cool things down.

4. All Rosy
Red comes in so many shades; we tend to think of the fire engine and orange tones but forget the roses. This look from Inside Our Home has us thinking how great a rose-toned stain on lower cabinets can make a small kitchen feel super special.

5. Go Bold and Go Home
You love the color, so why not just go for it? IKEA makes it easy with cabinets painted a glossy red with a minimal modern flair that pop even more in this otherwise white space. We love how the red backsplash elevates the whole look.
