The extra touch that will go a long way.
Everyone longs to have a home which is stylish, luxurious and comfortable. Where better to emphasis your style and personality but in the main room of the home? - The kitchen.
As most of you are probably aware the kitchen decor has full impact on the overall feel for your kitchen and your home. This decor means a lot more than just adding a new vase or freshening up with a coat of paint. It's about filling that space with unique and beautiful things that reflect your personality. It means decorating the kitchen by incorporating useful accessories but displaying them aesthetically too.
Using colour coordination will help achieve this and enhance the ambiance and overall look of your home.
Artwork placement
Many homes have already incorporated a display of artwork in the kitchen in some form. Whether it be sculptures from a classical contemporary artist, a framed portrait adding sophistication or small miniature frames with smaller significant pictures or meaningful words. Some opt for humour to lighten the kitchen mood others more serious - it all depends on you as an individual and how you want your kitchen to represent you. Another idea could be painting the background feature wall to highlight a display of crockery, simply paint the back tiles or cabinet in a pale colour that matches in with your kitchen accessories.
Fab fabrics
It's important to factor in the colour scheme of your kitchen for your linen. Bright linen fabrics such as the table cloth, chair covers and curtains need to be chosen carefully as they can change the entire look and feel for the kitchen.
Lighting
Lighting is of course an important aspect in the transformation of your home. Whether your kitchen is retro, contemporary or country styled the lighting needs to tie in accordingly in order to portray the look you want and brighten the room beautifully. The kitchen is an excellent place to be creative with lighting, combining certain lights with various accessories. For example, using the appropriate spot lights to emphasise that gorgeous piece of china within your cabinets.
Choosing a colour scheme for your accessories in the kitchen is becoming easier than ever thanks to many that are elegantly designed to complement one another.
Smaller accessories such as a colourful pattern design tea cosy to match the colour scheme of your kitchen will work extremely well and provide the finishing touches to your accessories.
To go with this of course is the tea/coffee and sugar canisters to accessorize and brighten up your kitchen.
The utensils you choose also make a huge difference and should tie in with your overall design for the kitchen such as the colour of your knife set, bowls and any others you will have on show. Expensive items such as fine crockery should be placed in a glass cupboard adding elegance to the kitchen.
There are many kitchen accessories out on the market to choose from online and available in a wide range of kitchen accessory stores. They are available in every shape, size and colour you could possibly imagine. It's simply just a matter of researching and tailoring these accessories to suit your kitchen needs.
Accessories of course should be adding functionality but also style to your kitchen. Your kitchen should be open and inviting, a place where everyone sits together to eat. This can be accomplished with great light, great design and the extra touches such as accessories used to complete the final design.
