12 Stylish Ways to Add Canada Red into Your Kitchen

Add a splash of vibrant red to your kitchen with statement light fixtures. They’ll instantly become the room’s focal point, especially when hung above an island. We’re partial to these cherry red pendants that spice up the otherwise white space. Find a similar fixture here.

If you’re wary of incorporating such a bold colour into your home, opt for low-commitment accents like a table cloth or runner that can be swapped out in a snap.

Creating a statement red accent wall in your kitchen is not for the faint of heart. A good rule of thumb? Paint a recessed nook or pantry to help define the space from the rest of the cooking zone.

We can’t think of a more elegant way to incorporate the vivid shade into your cooking quarters than with these chic poppy prints.

Is it a place mat? Not so. Believe it or not, this stylish product is a silicone non-stick liner that promises to help with your baking needs, and can be used in the oven or microwave. We love the mat’s bold, playful print that beautifully incorporates red.

Go from oven to table in true Canadian style with a bold red dish, such as this enameled cast-iron Dutch oven from Le Creuset.

Adding hits of red throughout will bring your cooking space to life and create cohesion. Don’t be afraid to introduce the shade with a larger piece like the kitchen island, then repeat the colour with small accessories such as towels, dishware and the like.
