Colours

Picking a colour scheme is very important because the room needs to pop once you enter the kitchen. Choosing to make all the walls one colour is fine, but you can add some style to it by adding complimenting colours.

You can paint one wall or all the cabinets a complementing colour to the wall. Here are a few colour suggestions and their meanings.

Lighting

Just like in photography, lighting plays an important role in interior decor. There are three types of lighting; natural lighting, sky-light or light through windows, and artificial lighting.  Of the three, artificial lighting is best.

When it comes to artificial lighting, it’s best to be creative with it to add a personal touch to your kitchen. LED lights (light-emitting diodes) have become a popular source of artificial lighting.

LED strips added to the normal light bulbs help in brightening the room and creating the desired mood.

The best places to put the strips are at the top or bottom of the shelves, the edges of the walls (top or bottom), around the counter or on the ceiling.
