Yellow Kitchen Accessories

I received my first piece of the original Fiestaware shortly after I was married 20 years ago. My mother-in-law loved to browse antique stores in Portland, Oregon, and found a yellow disc pitcher she knew I would love. For each birthday or holiday, she would find some new piece to add to my collection. When the new Fiestaware came out, I was thrilled and I've been using Fiestaware for my every day bowls and dishes ever since. If you're looking for yellow kitchen accessories, you're first stop should be for yellow Fiestaware.

I've loaded this page with all kinds of yellow kitchen accessories but many of those are likely to be tucked away when not in use. The yellow kitchen decor below serve two functions: one functional purpose for the kitchen and one fully decorative purpose for look only. They could be left out 24/7 just to add color where you want it.

Yellow pots and pans are hard working accessories. This 10 piece set of Yellow Rachael Ray Cookware comes with 2 sauce pans, 1 stock pot, 1 saute pan and two skillets.

Tempered glass lids let you keep an eye on your food and the silicone handles on the pans make it much easier to work with the pots and pans.

Besides being the best stand mixer on the market with thousands of 4 and 5 star reviews, the KitchenAid Artisan 5 Quart Mixer comes in several shades of yellow.

This mixer operates at 325 watts, has 10 speeds, comes with the stainless steel mixing bowl and includes a flat beater, dough hook, and wire whip.

Even kitchens done in completely different color palates can enjoy a bit of sunny yellow in their kitchen by using regular cooking accessories trimmed in bright yellow. Being in the kitchen can be hard work and it's worth a little thought on those utensils we use everyday to make them cheerful and fun to use. Makes the work seem a little less like work and a little more like play.

"On a traffic light green means go and yellow means yield, but on a banana it's just the opposite. Green means hold on, yellow means go ahead, and red means where the heck did you get that banana at..." Mitch Hedberg

This isn't just any toaster. The Dualit 4 Slice Toaster in Canary Yellow is hand-made in England. It has extra wide slots to accommodate breads and sandwiches.

Unlike most toasters, there is no automatic pop-up feature. Toast says tucked inside and warm until you push the eject button.

Picture it - a gorgeous, sunny day. Birds are chirping. It's warm outside but there's a soft, gentle breeze blowing across your back porch. You make some sun tea, flavor it with lemon slices and a little bit of sugar, put it in this pretty, yellow beverage dispenser and invite a few friends over to hang out.

Glass lid, a soft yellow finish, and a shiny chrome spigot make this 2.5 gallon dispenser not only easy to use but charmingly adorable.

My mother has always had a mat in front of the kitchen sink as did her mother before her. The designs were always chosen with care to match the decor so each time I've moved apartments or houses or changed the theme of my kitchen, I've found a new kitchen floor mat. Flowers, fruits, and plain colors - I've tried them all. A sunny, yellow mat brightens up the kitchen nicely.

What I haven't tried (but I should!) are these anti-fatigue mats for the kitchen. I know I'm not the only one who has stood at the kitchen sink and suddenly felt the pull of every muscle in my back. These mats are cushioned to absorb some of the strain felt as you work on your feet at various kitchen tasks.

Yellow is considered a warm color. Looking at the color yellow gives us energy, hopes, high spirits. It kicks off a little rush of adrenaline making us feel more alert and more able to focus. Yellow roses tell the recipient that you think kindly of them, that you're true friends, and that you wish them well. Yellow is the color of the bright, morning sun as it gazes down through the disappearing chill of night's cool air to bring us light, and life, and joy.

Yellow is playful and fun. Accessorize your kitchen with crisp yellow chair cushions, yellow and white striped cafe curtains, yellow flower tiebacks on draperies, a bowl full of bananas, yellow candles, and clear vases with long stemmed yellow flowers.

Another way to use fabrics to bring yellow into your kitchen is with valances and curtains. More recent construction trends usually place the kitchen at the back of the house so that full curtains may not always be needed but toppers such as valances or light-weight cafe curtains.

Yellow curtains give the impression of sunny days even if the skies above are cloudy and gray.

Expand the use of yellow in your kitchen with cafe curtains and yellow chair pads or start a fabric project. Find some yellow fabric, like these, and make chair covers or your own window swags.
