Modern kitchen is not only a place for cooking. This is the whole world, a reflection of the soul of the mistress, and, of course, it must be beautiful. The kitchen greatly affects the mood of the hostess herself, as well as members of her family. It’s very good if you have enough money to do everything as you wish. However, sometimes they are needed for something more important. At the same time, I really want to change the interior. Decorating a kitchen with your own hands is a creative and very exciting process that will give you many pleasant moments. Enough to be patient and allocate free time. It is very good if the household joins you. So together you will create a unique corner.
Change the walls
Decorating a kitchen is a process that allows you to create something completely new, not like anything. It will be nice to invite friends to a cup of coffee in such a room, and you will receive praise and admiration. Yes, and in the evening it’s so good to spend a few minutes in a DIY corner.
Kitchen decoration designers recommend starting with the design of the walls. For this, it is not necessary to completely repaint them, just add bright details. If you have a friend who draws well, you can make images right on the wall covering. But the lack of artistic skills is not a problem at all. Today there are stencils that compensate for this shortcoming. To save time, you can use stickers with the image of a tea ceremony or other kitchen theme. However, there is an important rule. Such delights are suitable only if the color of the walls is solid. If you have a picture, you can get out of the situation due to paintings and panels.
Bright details
Decorating walls in a kitchen is not limited to the above actions. The creative process can continue even when the general idea has already been realized. Now it remains to place accents, add bright touches that will create a homely and laid-back style. A satin ribbon is perfect for this. It is not needed for bows, but for creating extremely comfortable interior items. Take 1 meter of ribbons of different colors. Now you need to weave a complex openwork braid or harness. The lower ends remain free to hang. Now the creation is fixed on the wall. Light hooks are hung on it, which can be used for hanging various souvenirs.
The scent of summer in your home
Decorating walls in the kitchen can be a truly magical experience. It is necessary to show only a little imagination. You will need a natural fabric. It can be satin or calico, any cotton cloth. Choose a color so that it matches the interior. We will sew decorative bags. The size of the products should not be large, because they will hang on a satin bundle. You can fill them with different aromatic herbs. On the reverse side write the names (mint, currant, raspberry). You can decorate the bags with lace and make beautiful ties.
Updating headsets
Of course, we do not offer to throw in the landfill cabinets that have served only a few years. This would be a luxury for most families. The simplest self-adhesive film can work wonders. It costs quite inexpensively, sizes and colors are the most diverse. It can be glued to the entire surface of the headset or apply bright stripes around the perimeter with it. Part of the external panels can be left without a film and occupy this space with photographs that are suitable for the subject. As you can see, decorating a kitchen can be a great opportunity to experience your creative streak and, possibly, be realized from the most unexpected side. It must be borne in mind that the film is short-lived, and in a couple of months it will be necessary to change it again. Therefore, you can repaint the headset in any color, and then varnish in two layers.
Kitchen apron
For a long time, this part of the wall above the stove and countertop was deprived of attention. It was tiled to make it easier to wash the oil and dirt adhering to it. However, today everything has changed. Modern designs suggest the presence of glass aprons with beautiful images in a variety of styles. It can be an ornament and wildlife, rivers and waterfalls, intricate hieroglyphs or cute inscriptions like “Great mood!” or “Have a nice day!” The morning begins here, so think about what you would like to see immediately after waking up.
However, all this grandeur can have one big minus. Such an apron will cost a lot and require the removal of wall cabinets. What to do? Decorations for the interior of the kitchen can be done independently, for this you need a special film for the tile. Equally well, it will hold on plastic panels. And most importantly, if after a while you get tired of it, it will be enough to choose another one and update your kitchen.
In order to put the sticker in place, it must first be wet and remove the protective layer. Then attach and thoroughly smooth with a sponge so that there are no bubbles.
Decorate the refrigerator
Until recently, it was believed that it must be white as snow. Today this canon is a thing of the past. The necessary unit is increasingly used as a panel for numerous notes, magnets, life-affirming slogans or prohibitive inscriptions (for example, "Do not eat after 6 pm!"). Why not decorate the room with it? Many accessories are suitable for placement on its surface. Decorations for the kitchen can be not only cute, but also very useful. To do this, turn your refrigerator into a message board. Using self-adhesive film, you can set the margins, and with the help of magnets, fix special strips of paper for notes.
Don't like the idea? Then why not paint the front panel with a spray can? If drawing a drawing is too difficult for you, then create a general background, according to which later it will remain to stick pictures or magnets. The second option is preferable, since they can be constantly moved, thereby changing the design.
Kitchen Area
This is the place where your family will gather in the evenings for dinner or tea. And the more beautiful the table will look, the more pleasant you will spend time together. You can create original decorations for the kitchen with your own hands, this does not require large financial costs. Go to the fabric store and find the right color for your tablecloth. You can not cover the entire table completely, but make only a colored “skirt”, and cover the working surface with a light cloth tablecloth. Their selection on sale today is very large. Woven lace napkins will create an even more homely atmosphere.
Chair covers are another great option to complement the room’s interior with vibrant details. Stools can be equipped with original ottomans, with a lush “skirt” and a smooth seating surface. Chairs with backs can be even more interesting. The embroidered multilayer applique, which is in harmony with the tablecloth and napkins, is perfect for the back. In general, this is not such a complicated undertaking - decorating the kitchen. With your own hands (the photos shown in the article serve as a vivid example), you can create real masterpieces! Take at least chair covers. They can be made several sets so that you can safely wash. No one bothers to prepare different options for summer, spring, autumn and winter. Having supplemented the table with seasonally appropriate ikebans, you can change the kitchen every time beyond recognition.
Curtains
Do not forget about such simple and affordable decorative decorations for the kitchen. Of course, you can hang just a white tulle. However, there are so many options today that it is hardly worth dwelling on this. The most magnificent interior looks boring if the window is not properly designed. You can buy fabric curtains with ruffles, rich and luxurious. To save space, roll options, curtains, threads and blinds are best suited. The latter provide a wealth of space for imagination. You just need to take a spray can of paint and apply the picture that fits the interior.
Updates at least every day
Curtains - this is a fairly expensive element of decor, so often they will not work. However, no one is stopping you from making adjustments. This will require clamps, with which direct curtains can be turned into models with assembly. It can be butterflies or flowers, bright pebbles. When this option is boring, you can collect the curtains using bright wide ribbons.
As you can see, you can change the interior quite often and without serious investments. It is enough to give free rein to your imagination and realize it in your work.
Flowers in the interior
Women love bright colors and even the most austere cuisine seek to diversify with a floral pattern. Indeed, if you do it wisely, then you can revive the interior, make it more spring and sunny. It will be appropriate to take curtains with flowers, make a bright sticker on the refrigerator or on an apron. The most important thing here is to observe two rules:
- Do not bend with a variety of shades. Yellow, red, blue flowers - this is not for you, pick up one thing.
- The abundance of lurid drawings and floral prints tire and quickly bore. Therefore, it is best if you place in a prominent place one large picture.
Living plants
Decorating the kitchen with flowers is a great idea, because, in addition to the decorative function, this decor also performs useful - it saturates the air with oxygen. However, it should be remembered that delicate and whimsical flowers are best removed away from here. The kitchen often shines through and there is no abundance of light. First of all, you need to consider the location of plants:
- Near the stove and sink, few green pets can live long. Here he is waiting for splashes of oil or soapy water, heat or damp.
- Near the window - only if the hood is working for you. Otherwise, it will be constantly open, which is acceptable only in the summer.
- On the table or on the floor. It depends on the size of the kitchen. For a small one, only small, compactly located pots are suitable. If the area allows, then you can buy small trees.
Unpretentious plants will be an excellent option. These are ficus and aloe, crassula, anthurium, chlorophytum. The latter is also preferred because it perfectly cleans the air. Thick leaves of these plants can be cleaned from dirt with a simple cloth.
Open shelves
One or two cabinets can be safely left without doors or glazed to leave decorative interior items there. Beautiful plates and vases, caskets - this is a wonderful decoration of the walls in the kitchen. The photo allows you to evaluate how elegant and interesting it looks. If your headset does not involve open shelves, you can easily make them yourself. All you need is a sanded board, corners and screws. On a miniature shelf, do not place too many objects. Designers recommend the following selections:
- For the kitchen in the style of minimalism - glass and metal vases and cups.
- For a romantic cuisine in the Provence style - a collection of painted plates, wooden mills for spices.
- For the Scandinavian style - wicker baskets, bottles of multi-colored glass.

Original cereal storage vessels

The result is both beautiful and comfortable. What is the idea itself? To the bottom of the cabinet, which hangs over the countertop, lids are fastened from wide cans for bulk products and cereals. The vessels themselves are filled with the appropriate contents, after which each is screwed into place. It is best to choose transparent containers so that you can immediately see what you are taking.
