Our kitchens have long become some iconic rooms. People are often brought into the kitchen for soulful conversations. Tea and cake gatherings, family breakfasts and dinners, Sunday dinners, it all happens here. A home decorated with your own hands is made many times warmer and more comfortable. So, why don't you transform at least one room lightly for starters? And let it be the kitchen! Add a touch of novelty to your home, and then the kitchen gatherings will become even more fun. Ideas on how to diversify the decor of the kitchen and photos for them are waiting for you in this article.
Clothes for walls "haute couture"
What can be done when the plain color of the walls is slightly tired? The answer is simple - you need to paint the walls! Do not be afraid of such a dramatic change in the image of your kitchen. And also do not be afraid that you will not cope. You will surely cope and will proudly enjoy the result of your own kitchen decor. To translate this bold idea into reality, it is enough to stock up with the necessary amount of paint and a stencil. It can be made of thick cardboard (from a box, for example). You can process the entire visible area of the walls in this way, or you can choose the most suitable wall section for your own kitchen decor.
The next option is probably not for everyone. But if you can draw well, then why not use your abilities for the good of your apartment? You can turn a boring wall into a romantic arbor twined with ivy or that corner of the planet where you would like to visit. If you really wanted to get your own gazebo with ivy in a city apartment, then you can use the work of a hired artist for a fee.
Do you want or are afraid to paint on the walls? Use photo stickers for your kitchen decor. They will create a unique and cozy atmosphere in your kitchen.
Wall-mounted plates give your kitchen an atmospheric feel. You can decorate such saucers or paint them with special paints. And if neither one nor the second is among your talents, then simply write on the plates some inscriptions in beautiful handwriting. Original and completely uncomplicated.
Close up your old table
Continuing the theme of decoupage, I want to say that you can do your own kitchen decor with it. If your old kitchen table is already tired of you with its monotonous dull look, give it a second youth, using decoupage. First, the furniture must be prepared for decoration. Sand with fine sandpaper, then prime and paint with a background paint. Decoupage, in principle, is a regular application, supplemented, if necessary, with the drawing of some small elements (curls, leaves, flowers). On the main plain surface with the help of PVA glue diluted with water, a napkin or the drawing you need is glued. Then all this is dried and covered with colorless varnish with the required number of layers.
Do you think such ideas of kitchen decor with your own hands are too complicated, but you really want to refresh and decorate your favorite kitchen? Less radical methods can be used. For example, you can make fashionable and eco-friendly hot coasters from an ordinary bundle suitable for thickness or jute. Jute is a brown-colored cord, a fiber of natural origin. It is widely used not only in construction work, but is also great for making some interesting crafts.
Prepare the necessary materials and start embodying this idea of kitchen decor. Visit the construction department of the nearest store.
List of materials
- A jute rope about 1 centimeter thick. One skein unit contains 10 meters.
- Scissors.
- Hot glue gun (do not forget to stock up on additional glue sticks).
To make a stand for dishes, you need to twist the cord with a spiral, periodically smearing small sections of the resulting circle with heated glue from the gun. Do not rush and make sure that the glue has time to seize. After you reach the diameter of the stand you need, cut off the end of the tourniquet and fix it with the same glue, pressing and hiding under the bottom.
Organizer for appliances
The decor of the kitchen (photo presented) can be continued by making the organizer for kitchen appliances from ordinary cans.
- At the required number of cans, inspect the edges that were opened with a can opener. Remove all dangerous nicks and apply with pliers.
- Paint the inner and outer walls of the cans.
- Decorate the outer part of the cans with any ornament you like, or leave it plain. Drill a hole at the top edge of the cans and push the hooks into it. Now the organizer can be hung on a bar above the countertop's working surface. Fill with the appliances you use most often. To continue the theme of organizers for kitchen decor with your own hands, we provide photos and ideas below.
Cutlery jars:
Organizer made of plastic bucket.
Serving board for snacks
Naturally, on such a board you will not cut bread and cheese. Spread food and snacks by placing dishes on the board. Nuts, olives and chips will look much more noble. In order to use such a board in the decor of the kitchen, you will have to create it from scratch.
Production Materials
- Thick flat board.
- Stain (color optional).
- A rag, brush, sponge - this is what you will apply the stain.
- Screwdriver for making holes in the board.
Walkthrough
- Saw out the desired shape of your future board with a jigsaw.
- Apply a stain on all surfaces and let the paint dry well.
- Make a hole with which the board will be mounted on the wall.
- You can add decor using pyrography.
Another interesting and at the same time very simple idea of a kitchen decor with your own hands. Get these cute and bright kitchen lights. Lamps will delight you with their fashionable design, and after they bore you it will not be a pity to throw them out.
To make them you need
- Bright threads that are used for knitting. Choose those that fit the overall color palette of your kitchen.
- PVA glue, diluted by a third with water.
- Balloon.
- Food wrap.
Let's start the manufacture of fashionable kitchen fixtures:
Mix glue with water in a bowl. Soak the threads in the mixture. Inflate the balloon to the size you need. Wrap the ball with cling film. On top of the film, randomly and artistically wind a wet thread. Wait about 10 hours for your future lampshade to dry completely. Now burst the ball with a sharp object. The lampshade stays in shape. Separate the remaining film from the threads and fix the structure to the lamp.
To decorate your cozy kitchen, you can use hand-made oven mitts for hot pots and pans. Use crochet or knitting needles. Kitchen towels can be decorated with embroidery, if you are subject to this type of needlework.
