Red Kitchen Decor

What is Red Kitchen Decor?

Red kitchen decor can be used to either add in red as one of several accent colors or enforce a red color scheme. 

What Red Decor Will Make My Kitchen Pop?

Cabinetry- One way to go bold with your red kitchen is to use red as either the upper or lower cabinets or even both. 

Rugs- The red rug you choose can add to any design style; rustic and farmhouse designs may use red rugs that are more distressed and have more traditional patterns while more modern and contemporary rugs will use red with more abstract or geometric patterns. 

Seating- You can add in your red accents with your seats, seat cushions, or booth seating if you have them in your kitchen or dining room. The style of chair or booth and the shade of red while vary depending on what style you're going for; bright red booths and cushions often harken back to retro restaurants, while red wood chairs fit well with farmhouse style. 

Kitchenware- Your kitchen pots, pans, mixers, teapots, and other kitchen essentials can all be the perfect accents as red kitchen decor. Some of these items are out nearly all the time and are natural accents, and otherwise, you can bring out the red kitchenware when your company is over so that you have that extra pop of color. 

Accessories/Wall Art- Outside of the kitchenware being red kitchen decor, you can add in other smaller accessories such as red cookbooks, red vases, red flowers, and so much more. Wall art is yet another way to add in red, and you can hang large wall art on the wall or use smaller artwork on the countertops, open shelving, or on the kitchen island. 

How Should I Style My Kitchen With Red Decor?

The accents and hardware listed above gives you ideas on how to add in the red decor, but which styles you choose of those items will vary depending on your personal style. For example, if you're going for a retro red kitchen, you'll use firehouse red in classic patterns like polka-dots and checkers. Farmhouse red kitchens will include red in accessories that fit the farmhouse mold, such as red salt and pepper shakers. And then modern kitchens will include it simple and straightforwardly in items like books. There are infinite ways to combine accessories and style, and how you choose them will highly depend on your design style. 

Is Red Kitchen Decor Going Out Of Style?

Red kitchen decor can be used to either evoke a sense of nostalgia for the past or turn your brain to the present with modern and contemporary styling. The color itself is a bold choice to use, and as they say, fortune favors the bold. Red kitchen decor is, and will continue to be, a great style for those who love to go bold and share their personal flavor.
