There is a certain something that sets kitchens apart from other rooms in a house and makes it extra special.That is according to Jill Pertler, who suggested in the Duluth News Tribune that most people spend more time in the kitchen than any other room while awake.The hub of a home is its kitchen. Even for non-cooks. There is something special about the room created with the specific purpose of providing us with sustenance, she stated.It stands to reason that if your kitchen is a happy place, it is more likely that your home and your family will be smiling as well.Ms Pertler suggested that making small kitchen design changes like altering the colours of appliances and walls to improve the mood of the room will have a big impact.Individual taste should always be a factor when picking colours, as different shades provoke contrasting reactions in people.
