Warm up your kitchen with cozy colors - Whether you’re an aspiring top chef, a novice cookie maker or anything in between, the kitchen can serve as the central meeting place for family and friends.

Using warm wood colors and accents, while opting for the newest styles, instantly creates a more inviting look for your kitchen. Here are some ways to warm up your kitchen with color.

Delicious kitchen colors

So many delicious colors are

available to help you create an inviting mood in your kitchen.

Many of today’s hottest hues are inspired by favorite foods and

pleasant kitchen experiences such as cooking, baking and entertaining.

Examples include today’s popular paprika and cinnamon colors; soothing neutrals such as tarragon and sage; and the deep, rich tones of wine or cherry. These colors, when used in wall coverings, flooring or accessories, can provide a backdrop that sets the tone in your kitchen.

Warm wood cabinetry

There’s nothing like the look of continued on page 26

Many on-trend wood types are available in surprisingly affordable styles from manufacturers of semicustom cabinetry.

“Today’s semi-custom cabinetry gives homeowners access to some of the most desired wood types including cherry, known for its deep reddish tones, and alder, which can lend a rustic or casual feel to a kitchen,” says Cathy Hitz, brand manager for Diamond Cabinets. “It’s easy to combine these woods with special cabinetry touches, such as turnings and moldings, to create a very comfortable and personalized look for a kitchen.”
