Colorful accent pillows and side tables certainly make an impact when it comes to giving your home some pop, but taking on a whole room with a distinct color scheme in mind is a whole other story. And as long as you're up for the challenge, why not go for the unexpected by focusing on the kitchen. Here, we've zoomed in on a dozen of our favorite vibrant spaces to get you inspired. Some make a striking statement with a single bold shade across cabinets and appliances, while others use small-scale accents like rugs and bar stool upholstery to clever effect. All do a marvelous job of catching the eye.
