Very dark paint colors may make a kitchen feel less inviting, says Switzer.
Your kitchen should never feel ominous!
Lastly, interior designerAudrey Schecksays extremely dark shades couldmake a kitchen feel smallerand more enclosed.

Go with a bright-colored toaster or other small appliances.
Or just use bright-colored plates and serving pieces!
