A kitchen is more than just a cooking zone: It also serves as a living space where family and friends meet, cook, eat and laugh together - and where you want to feel completely at ease. Colours play an important role in the atmosphere of a room. They influence moods, make surfaces appear larger or smaller and create skilful accents. Colourful kitchens open up a wide range of design options.

With a colourful kitchen , you can emphasise your individual style of living and enjoy the sight of your favourite colours every day.

Depending on the colour you choose, the wall colour will emphasise the nuance of your kitchen front, allow it to take centre stage or be the focal point of your kitchen itself - for example, because you prefer discreet fronts but still want to be colourful. Last but not least, the wall design also influences the atmosphere. This allows you to create an elegant look with shades from the same colour family - for example with a light green wall to match the sage green kitchen. Large rooms in particular lend themselves to strong contrasts, such as petrol-coloured furniture against mustard yellow walls.
If you want to bring colour into your cooking and dining area in a simple way, it doesn't necessarily have to be a colourful kitchen unit. A colourful wallpaper in the kitchen also causes a stir. With a photo wallpaper you can bring dream beaches, lush green forests or vibrant metropolises into your home, floral patterns radiate cheerfulness and bold colour gradients give the room a modern touch. Tip: Make sure that at least one colour tone on the wallpaper matches the kitchen colour as closely as possible to create a harmonious overall look.
