Everyone loves a beautiful kitchen, don’t they? Kitchens are often the place where guests congregate when they’re visiting, and when families go to celebrate holidays. They can often make feel instantly “at-home” not only with the delicious food that comes from it, but the décor it features. Somehow, beautiful decoration makes it taste just that much better! We have the best home décor ideas to make your kitchen dashing – let’s take a look!
1. A Fresh Coat of Paint
The color of a room can almost define it. It’s the first thing most of us notice and is particularly important in kitchens. A fresh coat of paint doesn’t have to be expensive nor time-consuming, and most of us can do it with little to no experience. You can give it a radiant, energetic makeover by adding a bright blue or perhaps a deep burgundy. With recent trends, an opulent white will really give your kitchen some positive attention and will make the space look more roomy, as well.
While it’s not all that common yet, be a trendsetter and add some soft, smoky tones to your kitchen. It will instantly transform the room into a more elegant, old Europe-esque sight to behold.
2. Change Up the Barstools
After cabinets, finishes, and paint, the next thing you will probably notice in a kitchen are the barstools. They should evoke the kind of theme that the rest of your décor is going for, whether that be country style, modern, minimal, etc. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t change them out for something new! If you had a leather and steel stool before, maybe go for something like a light-colored wood or a rich oak! If the previous ones didn’t have arms or a back, maybe opt for something a bit more luxurious that your guests can really let themselves sink into.
Mixing styles can also add a kind of eclectic intrigue to a space, making it more charming.
3. Add an Indoor Herb Garden
That’s right, now you don’t even have to go to the store our outside to get your herbs! Even if you have zero experience with planting or herbs, you can operate an indoor herb garden kit and see wonderful results. Each one comes in a different size, so even if you just want to grow a few at a time, you can. Most will come included with a kit complete with seeds for different herbs, like tomato, basil, lettuce, and more.
Styles also vary, from wooden/more traditional wooden planters to more modern, cutting-edge black or white designs that would look wonderful anywhere. The LED lights and the rest of the setup will make it extremely easy for you to grow – not to mention it’s fun watching them progress until they’re ready for use!
4. Create a Focal Point
Try walking in and out of your kitchen and look at it subjectively. What is the first thing you notice? Is it something that you think looks good? If not, then it’s time to change things up. You can easily do this through the paint we just mentioned, but another easy way to do it would be by hanging up a large piece of art on the focal wall.
Recently, gallery wall collections have exploded in popularity with designers as they really draw the eyes in, are unique, and can quickly increase the depth of a kitchen’s design.
5. Tie the Space Together
If you find that you simply have too much extra space in your dining room, an easy way to tie everything together is by getting a large dining room table and/or a rug. As they take up so much room, they can help create a kind of uniform appearance where everything just looks more put-together.
Moreover, a generously sized table is perfect for accommodating guests in short notice, and are perfect for dinner parties, game nights, or even spreading out your work or art projects all over the place. A rug will keep you and others in your home from getting cold feet, and just makes it a little bit easier to relax.
6. Add a Splashback
If you don’t already have one, another DIY-friendly project to take on is a splashback. You can easily do this in a single day, and you don’t have to spend a lot either. This can really make the stove pop and add a nice little splash of color. Tiles are the traditional way to go, and still look great today. However, if you don’t have the time or patience for it, you can also create a kind of “faux backsplash” just out of paint.
7. Take Advantage of Storage
We all know the struggle of wanting new pots and pans but also trying to find space for them. A great alternative would be to add some yourself! A pegboard can really free up your cabinet space where you normally store your pans. Adding a nesting table to your cabinets or shelving under your island countertop are easy to do and can also help out with clutter.
