Tips on
Decorating a Small Kitchen
by Lynn Cressy
Even though small kitchens are a
challenge to decorate, storage and display areas are of prime
importance. Here are a few home decorating ideas for decorating a
small kitchen to make it both beautiful and efficient.
Visually increase a small kitchen's size with glass cabinet doors.
Paint the insides of the cabinets the same color as the walls for a
fashionable, well-designed update. Solid-door cabinets work well
below the counter and to the ceiling above the eye-level glass-door
cabinets.
Another home decorating idea and variation on kitchen storage is to
use open shelves over the sink, the cabinets and as much of the wall
space as desired. This is especially useful when you enjoy
collectibles but are limited on space to display them.
Repetition of shapes plus a variety of textures such as found in
baskets is a home decorating idea that adds appeal to any kitchen
regardless of size.
Even a small kitchen can accommodate an island provided the area is
at least 12 to 15 feet wide. This will provide additional storage as
well as work space and will be convenient from anywhere in the
kitchen. A chopping block or moveable carts with open shelving are
examples of items that provide extra work areas and storage.
Think creatively of every space in a small kitchen such as adding a
pot rack, pegs, hooks, or wall-mounted baskets for additional
storage. Also, don't add a lot of non-kitchen décor to the room. If
you choose good quality, stylish cookware, utensils and dishes, they
will make perfect kitchen decorative items.
Canister sets make great home decorating ideas and are an example of
trendy but practical accessories for your kitchen since they can
easily become the focus of your kitchen decorating style. Install
new drawer pulls and cabinet door handles for another inexpensive
way to update a kitchen.
Since the kitchen is one of the most used rooms in the house, it is
important that the design allows for ease and efficiency. By putting
the previously mentioned guidelines to work, you will create a
beautiful and practical kitchen regardless of size.
