5 uplifting colors to paint your kitchen to make it a happier space

Happy kitchen colors

We all know how much colors can impact your mood. A blue sky day instantly gives you a lift, when you see someone dressed in a bold outfit, or you yourself wear a brighter color than usual, it makes a difference to how you feel – there's a little boost in your mood caused just by the colors you experience. 

The same, of course, applies to the shades you use in your home but in an interior design world that so often favors grey and neutrals, we rarely choose these happier shades for our homes. However, over the last few years we are starting a slow but steady shift, we are moving away from these safe, subtle shades and choosing kitchen color ideas that are, well, happier. And the change in trends is particularly apparent with kitchen ideas. We now see more pink or green kitchens than we do grey or white, and we are very much on board with these mood-boosting hues. After all, the kitchen is one of the most used rooms in your home, so of course its color is going to have an impact on how you feel.
