Posted by: Lisa Mason on: May 8, 2008
Your family spends a lot of time in the kitchen so why not make it as relaxing and inviting as possible. One way to do this is by decorating your kitchen to reflect your style and personality. Below you will find 8 kitchen decorating tips that can help you turn your kitchen into more than just a room where you sit down to eat.
1. Get Personal – One of the biggest mistakes made when decorating kitchens is that they are made to be too impersonal. If you want it to be a warm and inviting place where your family can gather together, then you need to add that personal touch.
2. Take Advantage of Light – Don’t underestimate the power of having enough light. Kitchens that let the sun shine in are much more inviting. If you only have small windows in your kitchen that do not produce a lot of light, then add decorative light fixtures to brighten things up.
3. Accessorize – It may surprise you to learn that accessorizing can make a huge difference. Display that special china in a hutch or add a few antiques to the counters. A beautiful bouquet of fresh cut flowers in the middle of your table can do wonders for a kitchens décor. However, don’t get carried away and add to many accessories or things will just begin to look cluttered.
4. Decorate With a Theme – Just like all the other rooms in your home the kitchen deserves a theme. Choose something that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed.
5. Avoid Clutter – Too much clutter makes a kitchen undesirable and uncomfortable. If your counters and shelves are full of items, make it a point to clear them off. It will make more of a difference than you might imagine.
6. Fresh Paint – When your kitchen begins to look dull and lifeless a new coat of paint can bring it back to life again. Bright colors work very well for kitchens.
7. Add Hardware to Your Cabinets and Drawers – Adding decorative hardware to your cabinets and drawers will brighten up your kitchen and give it a fresh new look.
8. Add Some Plants – Adding plants to your kitchen will jazz things up and enhance any décor.
These tips are easy and simple ways to decorate your kitchen while adding style and personality. You may even be amaze at the difference they can make.
Decorating for the Artistic Soul

I recently did a major spring cleaning of my kitchen – just by organizing my things and getting a kitchen cart I feel like I have a whole new kitchen! There’s some great bargains to be had from pot racks to butcher block kitchen carts on All Kitchen Carts. I like that they have a good range of items from budget to high end for the gourmet kitchen, depending on what you’re looking for.
