Even hardworking spaces need a dash of color. If you’re interested in adding a whole new personality to your kitchen, you came to the right place.
Here’s some ideas for a smart decoration of your favorite eating place!
1. Add natural elements
Why keep the fruits and veggies in the fridge, when you can put them in a large bowl and place it on your kitchen table? This way, you keep a healthy snack nearby whenever you crave something good and you cheer up the room.
2. Place a rug on the floor
The kitchen is usually a moisture-prone environment, but it is an area of the house that deserves attention, just like the living-room. You can choose a rug based on its durability or the nice design it has, in order to spark some color into the kitchen. Patterns, flowers, dots and bullets, abstract colors, anything will look lovely on the kitchen floor – just dare to picture it in your mind!
3. Use wallpapers to decorate the kitchen’s walls
If you don’t want to paint the kitchen’s walls, you can decorate them with wallpapers. If you only want a spark of color, you can choose just one kitchen wall for the dress-up game. Easy and cheap, right?
4. Create an open shelf with cookbooks
Who says books are only meant to stay in the library? If you love reading about food, keep all your materials in an open shelf placed on a kitchen wall. Books come in all sizes and colors, and will make a nice decor for the kitchen, too, trust us.
5. Paint the ceiling
If your kitchen only has one color, it’s time to think of adding another one to the game. This time, think about painting the ceiling. A soft blue paint makes any small space seem larger. But you can also opt for light green, purple or pastel colors.
6. Choose colorful countertops
If you have a small kitchen island, choose countertops in bright colors – it will give your kitchen a fresh and modern look, and it will make it stand out from the rest of the house.
7. Add flowers and plants
By the window, on the kitchen table, in an open cabinet, anywhere you choose to place a colorful house plant, it will brighten up your space. Make sure to choose flowers or plants that thrive indoors. If you are a busy person and cannot properly take care of a living plant, you can always switch to fake flowers. The goal is to add color to your kitchen, not an extra responsibility on your every day life.
8. Colorful curtains
No matter the size of your kitchen windows, a pair of lovely, colorful curtains will enhance the look of the entire room. Opt for bright yellows or reds if the kitchen has neutral colors.
9. Choose a colorful sink
Colorful appliances are just another great way to add more color to your kitchen. Try and imagine your kitchen with a red sink in it, instead of a dull stainless steel or a plastic one. Same goes for the fridge.
10. Add colorful chandeliers or pendants
The right lights can create a cozy atmosphere for a kitchen dinner with the whole family or just your loved one. There is an extensive selection of patterns and colors you can choose from, in order to find the perfect match for your eating space.
Refreshing your kitchen isn’t hard if you have a good eye for combining colors and textures. Just follow your heart and taste!
