Who knew lemon and lavender would be the color crush of the year? This delightful, unexpected pairing is showing up in everything from backsplash tiles to countertop accessories, creating a fresh yet calming vibe that feels like a sunny day in Provence. At That’s Brilliant!, we’re embracing the color story that’s equal parts citrus zest and soothing spa — and your kitchen is the perfect canvas.

Why Lemon & Lavender Are So Hot Right Now

Color psychology meets visual delight. Lemon yellow brings joy, energy, and warmth — just like natural sunlight. Lavender, on the other hand, is associated with calm, relaxation, and even stress relief. Together, they create a balanced contrast that makes any space feel vibrant but never overwhelming. In kitchens, where we want both inspiration and peace, this combo is unexpectedly perfect.

“When life gives you lemons, make something extraordinary.”
