Appetising Colours For An Inspiring Kitchen

Why is it so important to choose a good colour combo for the kitchen?

Colour has a very strong impact on the human mind beyond simple visual aesthetics. Colour addresses one of our basic neurological needs for stimulation, and the kitchen and its culinary adventures are a sensory feast—sight, smell and taste are all engaged simultaneously.

Using colours we associate with positive feelings can enhance our overall experience. For example, colours such as red and yellow can build an appetite while orange is a colour we associate with warmth and comfort. A good colour combo can inspire our creativity in the kitchen.

One more consideration: try to keep your colour palette simple. We advise no more than three focal colours.
