Hot Pink in West Meade, Tennessee
Talk about pizazz! Nothing says “vitality” quite like a rich shade of pink. We admit this is a laundry room rather than a kitchen, but we’re giving it an honorable mention because the color is too exciting to ignore. The concept from Beth Haley Design is the perfect example of how much energy bright colors can infuse into a space.
