Tired of old curtains and tablecloths?Does your dining table seem terribly boring, and your favorite kitchen towels have become irritating? It seems that you urgently need to transform your kitchen. For you - 10 tips that will tell you how to revive an old interior and give it a new life in just one day. Imagine: one morning you wake up, go into the kitchen... And you understand that you urgently need to change something. Change the wallpaper? No time for a long renovation - the kitchen is needed every day. Completely replace the furniture and appliances? The budget is not designed for such large purchases. But you want to satisfy a spontaneous, but such a strong desire for change. Do not be upset: there are many ways to update the interior of the kitchen, while saving time, money and peace of mind.
Buy a new table
As a rule, we are in the kitchen at leastthree times a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. And all this happens at the dining table, which we see so often that its appearance becomes boring first of all. Want an update? Buy a new one - a different color, shape, size, height - and, if possible, move it to another place. Pay attention to tables made of a solid piece of wood. They have long been popular with designers, and for good reason: the natural color, roughness and rough execution have their own charm.
Change the chairs
If you haven't gotten bored with the table yet, it's worth itpay attention to its surroundings. Replace old boring chairs with brighter ones, experiment with shape and style, choose interesting pillows or covers for them. Note that it is not necessary to buy new chairs: you can simply take paint and repaint the ones you have now. By the way, a painting session will be a great reason for cosmetic restoration of old chairs: when else will you find time to deal with scuffs on the legs, scratches and old stains?
Lay down a carpet
Do you feel like your kitchen needs some bright colors?Or maybe coziness? Just lay down a rug: it will make up for the lack of both. If your kitchen is done in a neutral color scheme, let it be a rich color, and if the interior is already bright, a rug will complement it perfectly.
Our opinion:— Carpets are gradually no longer perceived as a relic of the Soviet past and are coming back into fashion. Tropical motifs, contrasting zigzags, gradients and — are at the peak of popularity this season. Choose a carpet to match the textiles or, conversely, a color that is not repeated anywhere else to diversify the color scheme of the kitchen.
Use small decorations
Get out your favorite china plates and hang them upon the wall. Buy some plants for the kitchen and choose beautiful pots or planters for them. Take beautiful vases out of the closet and arrange them in random order. Find a place for unusual candles or figurines. All these little things transform any interior in an amazing way, so you can’t ignore them.
Hang the pictures
Or your photos. As you like.Buy or print your favorite prints, motivational posters or vintage posters and hang them on the wall. Alternatively, you can use small framed mirrors. The empty space between the work surface and the wall cabinets can be turned into a board for your vacation photos. This way, while cooking or washing dishes, you will constantly look at them, remember pleasant moments and smile.
Our opinion:— If you are good at drawing, create a few pictures for the kitchen yourself. Also use children's drawings: as practice shows, they fit well into any interior. The finished picture can be inserted into a beautiful frame or hung on the wall just like that, and a large canvas can be placed directly on the floor.
Cover the table with a tablecloth
If it is not possible to update the furniture,It will be enough to lay a new tablecloth on the table, and the kitchen will immediately become much more comfortable and fresh. Play with colors, textures and patterns. You can choose several tablecloths: one large one in a calm range and several small, brighter ones. This technique is especially relevant if you have a long dining table: additional colors and layers of fabric will help to build a harmonious composition, visually dividing it.
Update your textiles
There's something annoying about the interior, but you don't know what it is.What? Change them. Even if the problem wasn't in them, the result will still exceed your expectations. Pay attention to smaller textiles: sofa cushions, chair covers, etc. Kitchen towels and decorative fabric napkins also count. Replace them comprehensively, choosing a single style or creating a colorful eclectic ensemble.
Replace old light fixtures
The topic of lighting somehow always ends up onsupporting roles: we don’t pay much attention to chandeliers and lamps. As long as they work properly, that’s enough. Meanwhile, the coziness and general atmosphere of the kitchen directly depend on light, and with its help you can significantly change the perception of the interior. For a quick reboot, you don’t need to completely redesign — for starters, just buy new beautiful lamps and increase their number if the kitchen seems too cold and gloomy.
Treat yourself to a new tea set
And feel free to put it on public display.Beautiful tableware is always a pleasure. And is there anything else that is so strongly associated with the kitchen and the family hearth? Treat yourself to exquisite coffee cups, cute candy bowls, a colorful teapot or handmade clay bowls. Some tableware looks like a work of art in itself and can easily transform even the most conservative kitchen.
Get creative
It's time to step out of your comfort zone:Experiment and add some creativity to your kitchen. How to do it? Hang something unusual on the wall — futuristic deer antlers, a kimono, or an unusual panel — or install a bold art object in the center of the table. Also try to diversify the interior with text: these can be vinyl stickers with ready-made phrases or a word made up of large letters. And to make sure you don’t get bored, organize a board in the kitchen on which you can write down your daily tasks, cool recipes, or your favorite song lines.
