How to Decorate With a Red Tile Floor in the Kitchen

Paint walls white or cream. Black trim will add a contemporary touch.

Finish cabinets in a medium brown wood tone, or paint them white. Replace knobs and handles with black metal or porcelain knobs and handles for a touch of contrast and to tie in the trim.

Hang curtains in a red and white print, such as checks, stripes or fruit designs.

Store flour, coffee or tea in red ceramic canisters. A red tea pot on the stove is a bright accent, and you can even find red toasters for more pop.

Purchase red dishtowels, oven mitts and hot pads. A red dish rack is a great place to dry dishes.

Hang one or two small pictures on the walls. Black frames around black-and-white photos, or artwork with touches of red, black and white will complement your decor.

Cover your kitchen table with a red and white tablecloth. White or red dishes will add a cheery touch of brightness, black dishes will give a more sophisticated look.
