Beautiful kitchen decoration that is also practical
Here are some simple tips that will help you keep your kitchen functional and beautiful.
Get creative with glass shades. If you have glass-paneled cabinets, display some pretty wine glasses on the second shelf and keep everyday items on the bottom. You can also install additional racks that will allow you to hang some of those beautiful wine glasses. You should consider changing the decorative items in your cabinet with the change of seasons. You should also change the other decorations in your kitchen with the change of seasons. This includes your apron, potholders, dish towels, and other decorative items. You can have holly and mistletoe for Christmas, bats and fake pumpkins for Halloween, hearts and flowers for Valentine’s Day, etc.
Keep the top of your refrigerator clean. A modest display of books, especially cookbooks, can be very attractive. When you keep them within easy reach, the number of treats that will appear increases. Using decorative bookends makes your space look beautiful and will also ensure that your books don’t fall all over the place.
When it comes to your countertop, there are two types of people. Some people like to keep their counter completely clear and then other people like to see everything they have lined up and ready for action. You must sit in the middle of these two types of people. If you use something almost every day, like a coffee pot or your food processor every night with dinner, don’t use it. On the other hand, if your new state-of-the-art blender is only used once a week or only on vacation, find a home for it within your cabinet space tucked under the scenes. However, remember that the items you have on top of your counter can also be grouped into categories that are relative to their function. If you make toast and coffee in the morning, and then plug them into the same outlets, they will make lovely companions for each other. If you’re a mom who cooks every night, your food processor and electric can opener would be another great set with the same outlet.
Plants are a very positive complement to your kitchen. If you have a window in your kitchen and available counter space, add some life with a plant. If you can’t remember to water them, set an alarm on your cell phone once a week that says water the plants. Everyone has a cell phone nowadays and uses the alarm or calendar functions quite often. A plant not only looks beautiful, but it cleans the air of pollution and gives you oxygen in the atmosphere.
A kitchen rug can be a great solution for a kitchen that has damaged or worn floors. These rugs can also help prevent someone from slipping on the floor when it’s wet and is an added comfort when you’re standing for a long period of time in front of the counter, stove, or sink. Mats are often placed at the front door every time you walk in, in front of the refrigerator, or even in front of the sink for added comfort while doing the dishes.
