The weather is warming up and with summer upon us, it’s time to spruce up your favorite room of the house: your kitchen. Traditionally, kitchen remodels were treacherous endeavors that took weeks of headache and contractor’s bills. Today, homeowners are trying quick, inexpensive ways to liven up their kitchen- paint. With just a quick trip to the home improvement store and a weekend of elbow grease, you can completely transform your Dan Ryan kitchen to the envy of all of your neighbors. 

This summer, the trend is leaning towards brighter colors. “Although kitchens have traditionally been painted white or pale colors, there is a major movement today toward saturated colors," says Margaret Walch, director of The Color Association of the United States.

Don’t know what color looks better with your stainless steel appliances? Walch says a deep red will bring warmth and character to your kitchen. If you are not ready for a whole room of red, painting one wall will add a little soul to your kitchen but still be modest enough for even the most timid homeowner. 

Another trend in kitchen remodeling is the backsplash. This is usually a sheet of tile or other material that is glued on the wall right above your counter and below your cabinets. Backsplashes have gained in popularity because they are inexpensive, easy, and add color and texture to any kitchen (as seen below in this beautiful Dan Ryan kitchen)

Remember, the kitchen is the heart of any home, so pay attention to it. Make sure it is warm and inviting and a place you want to spend time in. Here, at Dan Ryan homes, we give you a stunning canvas to make the kitchen your favorite room of your home.
