Red Impact
-
Many of us love red tones because they impart a festive quality. Red is an unexpected yet bold choice for this kitchen. It adds instant style and a dynamic feel to the room.
When using a bold color, you don't want the room to feel closed in. To add some lightness to a tight corner, the solid cabinets were replaced with glass-front ones. Black was a natural choice for the countertops. It works as a complement to the red cabinets and blends with the appliances.
