Kitchen décor can give a personal touch to a boring working area. Plants, prints in frames or cutting boards make an oasis; baskets, wood or art have just as much charm and character while occupying less room.
No-sew Roman shades can tie together shades on backsplash tiles and cabinets or be glazed over to look like patterned wallpaper for a cheaper alternative.
Colors
There are ways that colors can have a big effect in your kitchen. Reds and oranges set the lively tone in your kitchen that invites family and friends to talk; blues and greens offer serenity to cooking and dining.
Paint can be one of the easiest things to do to upgrade any room for less, but choosing a great color can be daunting. Fortunately, there are a couple of color laws that will help you make this decision more easily.
The look of texture.
Texture is the backbone of home decor for connecting spaces and generating a visually interesting, cozy feel. From textile to wall treatment or accessories – textures in the kitchen can help make this functional room cozy.
Harder materials such as brick or stone envelop and offset flat surfaces, and create interest and dimension. Other textures can be weaved baskets, rattan tray or linen such as embroidered placemats or waffle dish towels.
It has predictable features.
Patterned flooring gives a kitchen design texture and makes certain elements like wood grain pop like in this country kitchen by Leanne Ford Interiors.
Patterned textiles are a cheap, temporary way to inject colour and pattern into your kitchen without having to spend time or money renovating it. Make it your own by adding a rug pattern or a variety of curtains, seat cushions and tea towels in various patterns – you can change things up regularly without huge redecoration fees and headaches.
Patterned surfaces provide visual rhythm, both engaging visitors and appealing to their imagination. Make the best use of this attribute to give your kitchen a sense of exclusivity and authenticity.
Classics are also available as an option.
With a little bit of retro style to it, any kitchen will instantly make people feel old. If you are looking for vintage-inspired tables, chairs and stools to incorporate into your plan, antique stores or flea markets might have something of your style; or try specialty stores such as Wayfair, West Elm or Anthropologie to source new pieces that were made in the style of vintage designs.
Decorate your kitchen with vintage things like blue mason jars, glass canisters or dinnerware to create a farm or country-like feel or try floral or geometric patterns for a retro look.
Rugs are cushions that can be used inside and out of the house.
Rugs are not your immediate thought while designing a kitchen but they can be comforting and can link decorating concepts. As well as providing support underfoot, they separate zones and resist spills or stains.
There’s something for almost every taste when it comes to rugs – from classic striped patterns that will suit any décor to natural, neutral jute patterns that will match anything. Rugs of the round or half moon provide softened silhouettes in front of sinks or open floorplans between kitchens and dining rooms.
Dishes: Plates :
This serves as an essential part of kitchen decoration as it enables formal and informal dining atmospheres. On a special occasion, high-polished china with crystal glasses is more of an opulent dining space and natural stoneware and flat glassware are more at home in more informal dining spaces. Changing the tableware with the seasons helps to add some interest – for instance, pastels and flowers can do in the spring, cheerful colors in summer, earthy colors in fall, and white elegants can do in winter.
: Classic kitchenware is decorative and functional too if put out front on open shelves. A vibrant fruit bowl, for example, can communicate effectively while still being conveniently close at hand for food preparation.
Accessories: Various Accessories:
Accessories can add texture and dimension to the kitchen decors, allowing you to show off your own creativity in design. Be it woven rugs, gold-plated pendants, ceramic jugs or fruit bowls. Use accessories with complementary accent colors for a dramatic vignette effect.
Design professionals search for products that cover all those awkward spaces and have flexibility in drawer fittings, but they must be useful and attractive as well – crates, baskets, or frames of art made from wood.
Place the tableware on display for a dramatic effect, and it frees up cabinet space. Hanging copper pans from a peg board is functional as well as decorative.
