Transform the look of the heart of the home by decorating it well. This Seattle interior designer has some tips to get you started.

1. Locate Accents in Strategic Places

• Above Cabinets - collect some favorite mementos and group them for impact. This is a place for bright colors and varied sizes
• Above your Sink

• Shelves

Designer Amanda Kyser added clever details in this cottage. A wall painted Benjamin Moore‘s Merlot Red sets off white dishware that she salvaged.

• On an Island or Counter

Make a statement on your island. In this example, the colorful rooster welcomes everyone into the kitchen. (from House Beautiful)

2. Color adds Spice to your Kitchen

What’s your favorite accent color? The kitchen is a great place to add color accents.

3. Add Clever Containers for Storage

I love these apothecary containers from Williams Sonoma that add color and form to the kitchen.
