Red, White, & Blue Kitchen

wilma — Sat, 27 Jun 2020 18:02:14 GMT

In honor of the upcoming July 4 holiday, I found this photo of a red, white, and blue kitchen. What do you think?

I like the color combo more than I thought I would. Maybe because it’s summer right now I like it more. There’s enough white to break up the red and blue. The red cabinets and blue paint placement work for me. I also like the displayed dishes in the cabinets.

Still, I don’t think I would want this look every day for years. Might get tired of it.

The color scheme isn't for me. Also I am not a fan of islands with tall chairs. I prefer a dining table and chiairs. This isn't my taste .

I could do this color palette, but I'd rather have blue or white cabinets instead of red.

@wilma -

I'd like it without the red.

And also I think that red looks more like blood,esp in a kitchen

or maybe it's just because I'm watching City Homicide!😬

Am a big fan of red and that isn't. At first I thought the lower cabinets were wood.

Not a fan of any part of this. Too much high contrast.

I like it and it's nice to see white appliances.

I could live with it.

Up until 5 years ago I had a similar set up in my kitchen with bar stools we never used. In the update, I had cabinets with deep and wide drawers installed on the bar stool side, covered by a wide countertop. So much more storage and functionality for my kitchen.

I don't care for red, white and blue anything in decorating. I don't do patriotic decorating.

It's a nice summer look. Not sure how I'd react if you submitted this photo to us in November.

Love navy and red but they don't work in this kitchen. Maybe it's the shade of red, maybe it's to much white, I don't know but it doesn't work at all for me.

I'm not a big fan of red, white and blue... More times than not it turns out to be sort of trite... This isn't a bad looking kitchen but I don't think I like the floor boards going in different directions, not wild about the red painted cabinets and don't like the cushions used on the bar stools... The whole is a bit better than the sum of its parts...

The kitchen is crisp and lovely. Not my style but I can appreciate it.

I find that people who love Americana are passionate about it. I have two friends that do a lot of this type decorating and I find it refreshing.

@wilma

I like this kitchen as a "seasonal" room. I would tire of the red cabinets for long term which makes it impractical to begin with.

I do love the blue, white combo for long term though.

I think it's a charming, lovely kitchen and that the red, white and blue theme is beautifully done.

@wilma, when I read your thread title I thought, oh no, not for me, lol. But once I clicked on the thread and saw this kitchen, it does have appeal. It's not something I would do in my own kitchen, but I do like it. The flooring tho, should all run the same direction, and really would be better if it were the same wood.

Absolutely NOT. I will leave the red, white and blue to our flag.

I dont care for the room...... And like you said, I think I would quickly get tired of a red/white/blue color scheme year round....
