In an elegant kitchen, there is always space for white marble, light tones and wood, and it is very worth inserting some points of color to make the decor more authentic. Good color choices for this type of effect are shades of green, marsala, pink, gold, yellow, and red!

Besides inserting color in furniture or decorative items in the kitchen, painting or creating an accent wall with removable wallpaper is worthwhile!

6. Metallic and shiny accessories

To add sparkle and sophistication to decoration, you do not necessarily need to invest large amounts of money. After all, the kitchen taps and finishes add a sophisticated metallic touch when well-selected.
