Getting creative

Have you dreamed of being a pastry chef at one of the world’s premier restaurants? When other kids were on the playground, were you frolicking in the kitchen? Have you experimented with unexpected flavors to invent twenty-seven delectable versions of grilled cheese? If you’re passionate about cooking, you need a space where you can go to discover and explore.

Associated with creativity, yellow and gold may fuel your gourmet instincts. Encouraging you to use your imagination, artists, musicians and other free spirits have a fondness for warm shades. These imaginative, adventurous types enjoy the uniqueness inherent to this hue. Infuse your kitchen with Perennial Gold or Ancient Rosewood and you may just astonish yourself with your own culinary masterpieces.

Orange establishes an atmosphere conducive to action and supplies the energy to achieve, create, and express. In fact, studies show that children who enjoy orange crayons and paints have more ingenuity. It’s a great color for a kitchen because it also stimulates appetite. This is why restaurants are often painted appealing tints of orange like our Apricot Seashell, Dewberry Peach and Rhythm of Red. Once you go orange your family and friends won’t be able to get enough of your ingenious dishes.

Decorate your kitchen in yellow or orange and watch your epicurean creativity excel. You’ll be pureeing, sautéing and flambéing in ways you never thought possible.
