Last year we helped you clear out your kitchen clutter, and for 2019 we’re bringing you new and exciting ways to fall in love with one of the most used rooms in your home - your kitchen! No matter your design style, your kitchen is a central hub of entertainment, cooking experiments and tasty memories; and we’re here to help you make it picture perfect!

If you’ve been feeling a little underwhelmed when you walk into your kitchen, it may be time for a decor overhaul! If you’re into themes, pick one and stick with it for a dazzling effect that will make a great talking point when friends and family come over. Add accents that match your theme, everything from kitchen curtains, to matching salt and pepper shakers. If you want to be a little bolder, add a colorful backsplash or accent wall to brighten up your kitchen. After all, your kitchen should be sterile, but not feel sterile.

If you need some kitchen decorating ideas, consider what is used in some of the most popular kitchen themes like modern farmhouse, rustic and Tuscan. Play up the farmhouse features with weathered items and vintage collectibles. For more shabby-chic inspiration, read our blog on Farmhouse Fresh decor! For a Tuscan-style kitchen, look to earth tones and wine-decor for that authentic Italian feel.

Most kitchens typically come in stark white or some form of neutral tone enhanced by natural wood cabinetry - it can all be a bit drab. Spruce things up by adding some colorful kitchen wall art to your kitchen walls. Speaking of color, a pitcher full of your favorite stems or a vase filled with fresh market flowers really vamps up a room. You can also display bulk baking ingredients in large glass jars or decorative canisters for added appeal. Often, we have a tendency to hide things with the idea that a room will look neater, and it most cases that is true. However, a select number of items displayed in artful containers can deliver the little bit of pizzazz that your space was missing. Pull out that cute cookie jar, and treat your eyes like you treat your tummy!

Stylish Storage

Consider picking up a caddy to place napkins and stemware in for a lovely Sunday brunch. Or place a divided caddy next to your cooking space to hold all your cookware and large utensils. Add a decorative tray to your counter for displaying candles, or use it for serving party snacks or drinks. The opportunities are endless! If you need a little more space, consider adding a floating wall shelf to hold small items like spices and decor. That way you can reserve your counter space for larger, more bulky items, like a coffee maker or kitchen mixer. Pro tip: save yourself a lot of hassle and pick up a cookbook or iPad holder for hands-free cooking and baking!

Now that you have some kitchen decor ideas, it’s time to bring your kitchen resolution to fruition. Spice things up with color, themed wall art, and adorable and practical containers for baking ingredients. Whip out the cookbook, tie on the apron and start making some memories in a kitchen you love!
