Why 13, you ask? Two reasons really: First, it aligns happily with the 13 colonies that started our nation, and second, 50 is just too darn many – you’ve got a barbecue to get ready for! You’ll note in these 13 ideas that white isn’t included in the tally. It’s too easy.

If you want more white, buy organic white sheets and towels, add crown molding to your living room, or a subway tile backsplash in your kitchen. Also, you probably have acres of white in your home already. Most toilets sold today are white, and most ceilings are painted that color. White is also one of the most popular&nbsp;choices for kitchen cabinets and countertops.

Here’s how to make the most of the other two worthy colors in our beautiful American flag.

Kitchen

Blue cabinets add colorful style to a contemporary kitchen.

  1. The kitchen offers numerous opportunities to&nbsp;add color, depending on how bold you want to go.&nbsp;&nbsp;One of the biggest splurges is cabinetry. You can go with a suite of red or blue cabinets, or just&nbsp;add color on one wall or an island.
  2. You can also&nbsp;add color in a big way with a colorful range or refrigerator, opting for paneled appliances in the rest of the space to make that one statement piece stand out.
  3. Maybe you’re not extravagantly-minded, but still want a colorful appliance in your kitchen. A small countertop item is the way to go then. Several brands offer mixer, toaster or blender models to choose from, ranging from classic to retro styles.
  4. So you want color in your kitchen, but in a way that lets you change your mind more easily down the line. No problem. Kitchen towels, napkins, placemats, casual silverware with colorful handles and oven mitts all meet that urge. Going up the design food chain a step, you can also add red or blue counter stool or chair cushions in a stain-resistant fabric.

Bathroom

Statement tubs in bright colors are definitely on trend.

  1. Colorful sinks and bathtubs are trending right now, with models in bright colors like red or blue, or in colorful patterns. This would be another big statement, so make sure you love the color long after the fireworks have fizzled out.
  2. Another trend-worthy color addition is a glass-clad vanity. Glass is beautiful, low maintenance and fairly durable. It’s being used for cabinet fronts, side panels and countertops, with a contemporary flair and it’s available in red or blue, as well as other hues.
  3. For those seeking color without a big, permanent investment, towels are a great way to go. You can add luxurious softness and style at the same time.
  4. If you’re up for a bigger commitment, but still at the easy to change level, a shower curtain is a simple place to add color.

  1. A red or blue front door makes a great first impression. You can buy a new one or paint the&nbsp;door you have. You can also opt for colorful house numbers if a door is too much.
  2. Here’s another idea: Add a colorful fridge to your game room, so guests can grab a beer or soda without having to run to the kitchen. It’s a fun&nbsp;element for your home’s fun space.
  3. Tile a feature wall in red, blue or both for a stylish accent. If you don’t want to go that large, choose a style that fits your fireplace and add color to its surround instead.
  4. Lighting fixtures are another way to add color to a room. If you’re going with red or blue glass – both beautiful additions&nbsp;–&nbsp;consider a dramatic chandelier for your foyer, where the reduced light output won’t adversely affect tasks like reading, shaving or cooking.
  5. Last, but most definitely not least, is Old Glory! Nothing adds patriotic beauty to a home like an American flag hanging on a porch. No porch, no problem. There are flag art pieces you can hang above a fireplace or on a feature wall, and flag decorations for your Fourth of July festivities.

Ready for the occasion.
