Colour is important as it addresses one of our basic needs for neurological stimulation. As people, we are highly visual beings and base a lot of our likes, dislikes and subsequent decision-making on sight, and on how the objects we are looking at make us feel. This includes how kitchen colours make us feel. For example, a vibrant red kitchen can evoke a very different response from two different people. One person might find it vibrant and energizing, where the other finds it overpowering, even making them feel physically tense and unsettled. In both cases, and whether the response is positive or not, the colour reflects on the person and influences how they feel.

It’s all about you
But whatever kitchen colours, textures and materials you’re drawn to, no preference is ever wrong, it’s just personal. Your choices denote freedom of expression, reflecting your individualism and personal style. And quite rightly too, because a kitchen is an intimate place; You are the one who will be spending time here and so it should be a place where you want to be.
