A Rainbow of Colorful Kitchen Accessories
Add Color to the Kitchen with Mixers, Pots and Espresso Machines
Want to add color in the kitchen? You could break out the paint rollers and drop cloths, consider a new counter or invest in expensive appliances in spectrum of hues. Or, you could reach inside your cupboard. If you've got a few pots or gadgets in fun tones, why not leave them out for all to admire? Not only will you save on the cost of a renovation, keeping those gorgeous cooking accouterments in plain sight might just inspire you to cook more (a gentle reminder I could always use).
Here, we've compiled some of our favorite kitchen accessories in every color of the rainbow. Not only do they look great, they work quite well too.

A couple Le Creuset pots act like the cherry on top of this vanilla ice cream-hued kitchen.

| It's amazing what an impact a few colorful pots and pans can make against a neutral-toned backdrop of woods and whites. |

I have a few of these pots in red, and while the color is very nice (and there's a whole spectrum of them available now), what I love most is what a workhorse they are. Use them on the stove top or in the oven, relatively high heat or low, and they hold up get the job done beautifully.

KitchenAid stand mixers are serious classics and come in more colors than I have on my fingers and toes. The only question is, which one to choose?

This bright yellow acrylic countertop finds a friend not far away in that bright pot on the stove.

| If boldly colored counters aren't your thing, stick to yellow in the accessories, as done in this happy modern kitchen. |

The only thing that's always on top of my stove is the kettle. Best to work it into the decor in a color that complements the rest of the space, as the green does here.
A deep blue stand mixer picks up on the cool tones in the backsplash and takes them up a notch.

These pots take a more direct route, getting their exact color inspiration from the patterned backsplash behind them.

Real chefs are passionate about the quality of Staub's substantial pots. I'm no expert there, but I sure do like the rich colors they come in.

If expensive pots and mixers aren't in the immediate future, no fear; there are plenty of more affordable ways to add color in the kitchen. Here, a set of mixing bowls arranged on an open shelf helps to perk up the space.

I like to keep a stack of Anthropologie's latte bowls in an assortment of colors in plain sight. They're simply to pretty to hide away in the cupboard!

@hislala, you are so right. I've seen some colorful cookware from Mario Batali and Rachel Ray that's less expensive, but can't vouch for the quality. Anyone tried them?
@cjcali, what a great mix! It looks very happy. :)
