I’m so happy to bring you five ways to add more color to your kitchen with this sponsored post written by me on behalf of Georgia-Pacific.
When we first bought our home the walls were all white.
I love how bright white walls are, but they can also be a bit depressing and stark… especially in the kitchen. The kitchen is the center of our home. It’s not just where we eat. It’s where most of our family conversations happen and it’s where we always end up hanging out at dinner parties. Because it’s such an important room in the house I want my kitchen to feel bright and joyful. Adding pops of color throughout the kitchen is one of my favorite kitchen decorating tips!
Here are five ways to add more color and joy to your kitchen.
1. Celebrate the seasons.
The kitchen is the perfect place to add some festive color. I love to bring a variety of pumpkins and their beautiful colors as a display on our center island during the fall. As the seasons change so do my displays.
2. Light up the room.
Regular ceiling lights are great and all… but I love adding an extra counter top light to really add some color {this one changes colors and can be programmed to the color of your choice}. Aside from making the kitchen brighter, it also adds a warmer feeling.
3. Don’t forget natural colors.
Displaying fruits and veggies are some of the best ways to add some pops of color. I love to display apples, oranges and bananas! It also encourages healthy snacking. Double win!
4. Paint your walls.
I think there is a misconception about painting your walls. It’s one of the quickest ways to really add some big color to your kitchen. This the before and after of our kitchen from when we bought it. The paint changed the whole look of the room and even made the flooring look brighter and warmer.
5. The small things add up.
If you don’t have time for a big kitchen makeover remember the little things. Just adding a little bit of color makes the whole room look better. I love using Sparkle® towels with a hint of color. These towels are the answer for those of us who think white towels are a little too plain, but prints don’t always match the décor. These add one color across a subtle pattern and they deliver just the right amount of color to add a touch of style to any kitchen. Sparkle® towels are made and priced to offer the right mix of performance and value to consumers, which I love.
How do you bring color into your kitchen?

We have those very paper towels in our kitchen as we speak! They are great! I love those pumpkins all lined up!
Oh my gosh! You kitchen is beautiful Heather! I love your back splash and your fruit platter. I’m a tiny bit jealous.
I love Sparkle. 🙂
Very informative! Thanks for sharing your story!
Lovely kitchen! Very nice ideas for adding a splash of color. My color tends to come from a variety of sources. Some from artwork. My husband has some really nice knives and they are color coded for different uses, they bring a really cool burst of color on the counter.
I just love the huge windows over your sink! I’ve added pops of color with adding some art work around my kitchen walls in reds. Our kitchen colors are rather dark with black and dark countertops, including the island, so I’ve added red and turquoise to give it some color.
Nice new pattern from Sparkle.
Very pretty kitchen you back splash is gorgeous. I like Sparkle – good towel.
Great ideas. Those sparkle towels are super cute. Our kitchen is very small. Right now if I can just keep the clutter off of the counter top, I call it a win!
I love color and since I also love art, I have art pieces in my kitchen too. I also always have fruit in the kitchen and buy a wide range of colorful ones.
Great ideas! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I love those lined up pumpkins! I actually have some on hand I could do this with! Thanks!
What a lovely kitchen! I love how you spruced it up with the apples and pumpkins. 🙂
I love using one brightly colored painted wall, or even just a bright picture to brighten up a room! Great tips 🙂
I prefer the white base and adding texture and design with decor. great countertops
I use fruit to add color to the dining room table too. And the paint in the after picture does warm everything up!
What a beautiful kitchen. I love all your suggestions for adding colour!
I simply love your kitchen. I add fruits when I can. They add such a nice color.
I have some bright colored bins that add color to my kitchen. They are a beautiful royal blue.
You have a beautiful kitchen! Those displays are really pretty, It’s funny how something so small and simple can add so much life to a space. Those apples on the cake stand are an example.
When we remodeled our kitchen, I insisted on painting the walls sunshine yellow. It’s my favorite room!
What a lovely kitchen and some great ideas. We always start out great in our homes–we move a lot, military–but usually give up and dont stick with it. But i would definitely like to decorate for the holidays more, especially for fall because its my favorite time of year. Great post…i really enjoyed it!
I am all about painting walls. The walls in our house were all an eggshell color and now almost every wall is an earth tone or nature color. I love it so much better now.
Both of the kitchen colors were beautiful. Right now ours is mocha , dark chocolate and a light tan color. It’s been that way for a few years. I am getting bored of it but don’t really want to change it because we’ll be moving soon.
I swap out placemats and towels every month to brighten up the place! Great idea for a post. It’s nice to have color in the kitchen.
Great tips! I have incorporated the color of purple in every room of my house. It makes me feel at peace when I see my favorite color, which is purple.
These are all great ways to brighten your kitchen! Right now we have a couple pumpkins and gourds on our kitchen counter to add some color.
I really enjoyed reading this 🙂 I am a big fan of light but not having too much where it over does it. Your kitchen is beautiful and I love adding color to your home when its around the seasons 🙂
She does have a beautiful kitchen! I love the fruit splash of color!
I wish I had more natural light in my kitchen. I definitely miss that the most
Mine is so small that it’s hard for me to love it no matter what I do. However, I do like those hint of color paper towels.
I have colored appliances – like a red coffee maker – it brings a pop of color while still being functional!
I love the before and after shots of the kitchen! What a huge difference! We really need to re-paint our kitchen!
I love your kitchen, cute and updated. It’ll be nice to see it with the colors you presented. Everyday. 🙂 It makes it look lively and welcoming.
Those are great ideas. I like the idea about the apples, and those colored paper towels are just too cute.
Sparkle is great! So much more absorbant than other brands
Wow! There’s definitely a big difference! Your kitchen is lovely. You know, I’ve never purchased that brand. Will have to try. I’m a bounty girl but I know there are others. 🙂 Great tips!
I personally like how pumpkins really brighten up a room. I also like hanging up the lighting.
These are some great ideas! Thanks for sharing.
Painting your walls and some great decor can surely brighten up a room! I love some great candles as well! Thanks for sharing!
Simple ways to add lots of color! Love it!
You have a very nice kitchen. With that kitchen, makes me want to try new recipe that I rarely do at our kitchen. LOL…
I love using fresh fruits and veggies to bring a pop of color to my kitchen. Yours looks great.
What a happy, colorful kitchen. Beautiful. If I had more space in our kitchen, I would totally do this. Our kitchen and house is small though. Our counter tops give us barely enough room for my cooking/baking adventures as it is.
These are great tips to adding color and joy to your kitchen. I love the countertop light that changes color. It is totally awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Love all the little tips!! I’ve recently moved and still looking for ways to make this house “mine” =)
I love putting fresh fruit in my kitchen. I also love lamps around my house, including in my kitchen. It ads such warmth.
I love decorating with food because it is multi-purpose. I would love to have those paper towels as well! I’ll keep an eye out.
I NEED those paper towels- they are so cute! They remind me of glitter and I’m one of those people who loves glitter on basically everything. I also need to know where you got that lamp because I love it!
Great tips! Thanks for sharing!
My kitchen looks similar to the one on the right. I have white cabinets and the walls look exactly like the walls in that photo. I love these tips!
