Bring Red Accents into Your Apple Kitchen Decor

If you are using red as part of your Apple Kitchen color scheme, then red accents can help you carry the decor. The many various shades of red can accommodate just about anyone's taste. Think of the colors of dark red for those who like a richer color scheme. Bright red works well as a bold accent, while the paler shades of red, even pink, make great subtle accents.

Red accents can include many different items in your kitchen. Red small appliances that sit out on your counter, red placements or table linens for your eating table, even red-painted trim for your open kitchen shelving can add the kind of accents that will make your Apple Kitchen come alive.

You are not limited to having only those things that actually have photos or images of apples on them. You can create the decor with red accents. 

So feel free to indulge your enjoyment of the apple look, without feeling like you are overwhelmed with apples. Red accents can help you decorate with style.

Apple Colors for an Apple Kitchen


What colors go best in your apple kitchen? Well, the colors of apple, of course. Not just red, although that goes so well in an apple kitchen. Consider the other colors of green and yellow as well. Apples do come in all shades of red, green and yellow. Think about Gala and Fuji apples that seem to have each of those colors in their skins. And they all seem to be inviting you to bite in and enjoy.

At Apple Kitchen Stuff, we have been spending May talking about putting together your color schemes in the apple colors. You start with a main color then add in your accent colors. These can be either complimentary or contast. Whether you start with red as we did here, or start with green as with did on this article, you can add the other colors in one or two combinations.

What you are looking for is a color scheme that gives you room to add your apple accent pieces, like wall clocks and cookie jars and have the look come together for you. Adding in a small rug with an apple design also pulls the look together.

You can go with strong and bold colors or muted and subdued. With a muted background color like golden yellow and strong red or green accent colors can make a wonderful way to put together your apple kitchen look. Think of Granny Smith apples for that bold green.

And don't leave out pink. Apple blossoms are pink and can add a wonderful way to accent a green main color choice. Also, Braeburn apples have a glow of pink to their skin, so you know your apple kitchen will have a delicious look to it.
