Color Your Kitchen With Simple DIY Projects

Dish Up Some Drama

To add a dash of color to your kitchen, take the plates out of the pantry and hang them on the walls as works of art. Decorating with dishes takes on a modern feel when you choose earthenware in this season's natural hues. Look for dinner plates in a single shade, like ZaZen's Crackle Dinnerware set in tranquil turquoise. Use plate hangers to create a round grouping on a wall or to add a stripe of color to a vertical space between the oven and the pantry. To add flavor to your breakfast nook, set the plates on plate stands and line them up along the windowsill.
