Classic Fare

The pale green cabinets set against the warm cream walls, gives the space an expansive feeling. The darker green of the ceiling balances out the visual weight of the base cabinets, while the soft white trim quietly outlines the bank of windows.

Classic white countertops and stoneware complement the kitchen’s clean, simple lines. Pleated Roman shades and accessories such as the dinnerware, vase, and platters in deep olive work as monochromatic accents while the bowl of oranges adds a citrusy burst of refreshing color.

Fresh fruits and vegetables are a creative and inexpensive way to accent a room with color, and work particularly well in kitchens. Here, we’ve paired a single fruit, oranges, in a solid color container for strong visual impact, but experiment with keepsakes and containers to create an appealing color accent that expresses your own special style.
