How to make the kitchen stylish and cozy: methods of decorating space

Where to put the refrigerator? Cabinets or shelves?Do you need a touch faucet? In pursuit of the perfect kitchen, it’s easy to miss the small but important details that make it cozy. To avoid this, we’ve selected 7 places that are most often overlooked and offered ideas for their decor. Last year, we talked about the inconspicuous places in the house that we most often forget to decorate. Today, we decided to pay full attention to the kitchen — often a rather problematic area. In apartments — and especially in studios — there is almost always a lack of square meters, but even if there is enough of them, first of all, we think about everything being safe, functional and ergonomic. After such research, there is only enough energy for the minimal and most obvious decor: curtains on the windows and a few framed photos. We are categorically against this state of affairs and suggest that you familiarize yourself with the list of kitchen corners that we often neglect, although in fact they need thoughtful decoration. Ceiling We are surprisingly conservative inregarding the ceiling and almost always limit ourselves to white plaster, and yet this is the same surface for creativity as the walls and floor. Wallpaper, art painting, decoupage, patchwork, stucco, wooden or metal beams, just bright paint - there is plenty of scope for the imagination. Equipment Of course, kitchen appliances are notsomething that literally needs to be decorated, but the appearance and condition of the equipment largely determines the overall impression. Thanks to the efforts of modern manufacturers, stoves, ovens and even microwaves now look like exhibits from science fairs. And refrigerators can also be beautiful and colorful. Why not dilute a neutral kitchen set with a cheerful blue or red Smeg? Work surface The main place in the kitchenFor any housewife (or housewife), it is a work surface. Of course, nothing should distract you from the process or distract you from your thoughts while you are cooking, but we are not suggesting that you put an army of porcelain angels on the cutting table. Just a few minor details can make the work area more comfortable: a bouquet of flowers, bright textiles and potholders, or an unusual hook for an apron. Apron What should a kitchen apron be like?First of all, practical, and no one will argue with this statement. But sometimes we think only about this component, but a beautiful apron can transform the entire look of the kitchen. That is why, if you are planning a renovation, take a closer look at beautiful and: even if you like subdued colors, you can always play with shape, texture or pattern. Small wall Yes, that narrow partwall, which invariably forms in a small kitchen. Most often, this distance is so small and insignificant that we do not even pay attention to it - and in vain! Just one small touch - and the interior will sparkle in a completely new way. And there is definitely decor for a small space: it can be a clock, paintings, posters, a chalkboard, photographs, flowers in a pot or, if there is no space at all, just beautifully decorated notes with recipes. Storage Properly organized storage -good, and in addition, aesthetic - even better. Plastic containers, boxes and glass jars are certainly useful things, but when they not only perform their main function, but also please the eye, working in the kitchen becomes much more pleasant. And if you store everything not in closed cabinets, but on shelves, then beautiful jars, baskets and boxes are a real must-have. By the way, you can easily decorate storage containers to your taste yourself. Space above the cabinets It often happens thatthat the wall cabinets in the kitchen do not reach directly, and there is some space between it and the top. Of course, it is not used in any way. And it seems that we so rarely look there... But the decor is made up of little things, and that is why it is worth decorating even the most inconvenient space. Flowers, figurines, beautiful dishes, vases - these are just a few examples of what can be placed on kitchen cabinets.
