Whether you are a fan of Valentine’s Day or not, the color of the day has a lot of potential. With just a few changes or a do-it-yourself project, you can bring red into your kitchen for an added pop of color.
Cherry-Red Kitchen Cabinets
Keep a traditional theme and remodel your kitchen to add cherry wood cabinets. This wood has a beautiful, deep color and can add warmth and personality to your kitchen. For a simpler change, remove the cabinets yourself, sand them and then refinish them with a red paint.

Snazzy Table Settings
Group together red dishes, tablecloths, placemats, napkins and other accessories to create a snazzy, festive table setting. This is perfect for Valentine’s Day dinner but can also be used any day of the year for some extra color. You can also use red flowers, a vase or candles to create a fresh centerpiece to use all year.

Cheerful Window Treatments
Red window treatments, or curtains or Roman shades with a hint of red, can make a big difference in your kitchen. Fabrics add texture and warmth to any room, and they can make a kitchen feel homier.
Bold Appliances
Get brave and replace your old refrigerator, oven or microwave with a red model. Colored appliances also make a big statement and cam make a room more fun, retro or exciting. You will need to contact a plumber on Long Island if you plan to move kitchen fixtures when you make this change.
Small Details with Big Personality
Displaying red artwork, dishes, dish towels and other accessories is a very simple way to weave color throughout your entire kitchen. With some tiles and grout you can install a custom backsplash with a red theme for a more permanent addition.
Setting up small appliances like a toaster or mixer on your counter also brings a touch of color in a subtle, yet noticeable way. If you don’t have red appliances, consider using hanging pot organizers or canisters to show off red pots and pans and kitchen gadgets.
