Your kitchen says a lot about you. colourful kitchen themes are a great way to show how much you love cooking and spending time in the kitchen. A themed colour-coordinated kitchen can bring together everything you love in a way that is both expressive and meaningful.

URBAN BOHEMIAN

By playing with neutrals and metallics, you can channel the laid-back, relaxed, and slightly unconventional vibe of the Bohemian lifestyle into your kitchen. Make stainless appliances appear softer with warmer, neutral colours such as beige, brown, tan, cream, and soft naturals.

With its warm tones and natural elements, this urban bohemian style gives a traditional kitchen a softer, more homely feel. Read more about the KitchenAid colour of the Year and how powerful a simple pop of colour can fuel imagination and creativity in the kitchen.

Kitchen with farmhouse decor

FARMHOUSE FUNK

The farmhouse trend has been around for a few years. This classic homestyle homestead look exudes tradition and warmth with bright whites, ivories, creams and browns mixed with antiqued décor and natural touches like fresh flowers and indoor greenery wreaths.

To add in more colour, consider going a little funky with the farmhouse theme by adding in sultry hues of matcha or emerald as a play on the natural greens of traditional farmhouses. The theme also works well for breaking up stark white kitchens. Instead of stainless-steel appliances and hardware, try copper, gold or brass that pair well with natural elements.

The kitchen can remain traditional with this modern style while being made more fun with darker shades and different textures, such as crushed velvet upholstery or dark leather bar stools.
