A kitchen provides space for so many different activities of our everyday lives. We gather together to cook, eat, and socialize in the kitchen. We whip up quick dinners, sneak a bite or two of our favorite dessert, play board games, do crafts and share about our day over a cup of coffee and a crossword puzzle. No matter how your kitchen is used it needs to be a warm, inviting place for guests and members of your family to gather together. So when you are ready to decorate, keep a few of these tips in mind.
For those who aren't as concerned with decorating, their budget may be small and nearly inconsequential compared to those who focus on expressing themselves through decorating. If decorating is important to you, and you have the money to spend, then go ahead and make the investment. Once you have a dollar amount in mind, then you can turn your attention to style.
What is the point of your interior design? You can use it for purely aesthetic reasons, but there can be a function to it too. You might just be replacing your knife holders to something more efficient and stylish, or even getting wood treatments for your air vents, so they can look more comforting and interesting. These categories can help you with your decision making:
Purchasing accessories: You may need to start from scratch or you can just enhance what you already have. It's up to you and your budget. Perhaps you will be satisfied with just going with a new decorating scheme, like changing out your apple motif to one of roosters. You may want to change out handles on the cupboards or replace small appliances so they all match.
Get Creative: There's no limit to what you can achieve when you apply your own personal taste and creativity. If you can sew, create your own displayable oven mitts, place mats, or table covers. Create a new drapery arrangement around the windows. Liven old photographs with a new or antique frame. Because you are making it, you can create whatever style you want for a fraction of the cost-- be it minimalist, Victorian, or an eclectic mix.
Being a Handyman: Maybe your renovations encompass more than new place mats and napkins. You could add crown molding, replace the flooring or change out hanging lights to canister lights. You can even consider changing the layout of your kitchen if you are prepared to change up the wiring and pipes.
It can be a blast to change around the layout of your kitchen, and you can even include your family if they wish to have some say in how it looks. Your decorating options are virtually limitless, but make sure your designs do not get in the way of the function of the kitchen.
