Use a focal wall at the end of a galley kitchen. If a narrow galley-style kitchen is cramping your style, try taking the emphasis down the hall with a bold painted wall in the breakfast nook. Add a sculptural pendant light and shapely chairs tucked into a round table to complete the scene.
Emphasis- The yellow accent wall is the emphasis in this kitchen and dining room because of its bright color. Everything else in the room is a neutral color, so the yellow wall adds a pop.
I think this might look nice for the area just past the kitchen - the dining room wall can either be the same or match it somehow. Look at color swatches for accompanying colors with yellow.
where the kitchen is mostly neutral colors you are drawn to the bright green wall in the dining room causing your attention to be drawn to the table -emphasis
Emphasis-At first glance u see the 2 chairs and the table which are focal point of the image. You are drawn to this by everything else looking similer in shape and colour and by the sides looking like a hallway to make the focal point stnad out more from everything else. They are also centered in the image.
Love how the designer skillfully entices your eye through the space with the color 'reward' at the far end. Rather than focusing on the narrow kitchen, you instead have a sense of expansiveness when you look at the space. Nicely done!
Beautiful galley kitchen, emphasizing the end wall with a bold colour that creates a vingette of the eating area. Love the open shelving opening in the large wall of millwork for a bar.
