One of my favourite aspects of American interiors is their embracing of colour. Colour in furniture, on the walls and my favourite, on cabinetry. By painting these surfaces, a whole new look is achieved. I know a lot of people would feel apprehensive about painting their entire kitchen a colour other than a shade of white, but these kitchens show it’s worth the risk.

Even a ‘safer’ neutral shade looks gorgeous.

I love the brass hardware against this sage colour in this kitchen.
Another option is to paint the island bench a contrasting colour. It provides some interest against the white.
It can also add a splash of personality to your kitchen.

If you don’t have an island, using a different colour on the lower cabinets can have a similar effect.
Otherwise a dark timber for the island provides a classic and beautiful look.
As for me, I’m still not 100% on how brave I will be with my new kitchen but I do know there will be colour!
