Benjamin Moore’s Almost Black, which appears on the island and matches the tile backsplash, creates a focal point in this spacious kitchen. “The high gloss of the tile adds dimension and radiance and contrasts well with the lower sheen on the walls and ceiling to bring in another layer of contrast,” says Andrea Magno, the brand’s director of color marketing and development.

Multi-Textured Backsplash

Crafting a space around neutral colors calls for texture. This kitchen by designer Beth Diana Smith has more than just white cabinets. “A textured backsplash was added and framed out the window; the back of the waterfall peninsula was made black; and adding beautiful walnut counter stools provided more texture and shape,” Smith says.

Dedicate a Wall Niche

If you don't have much decor space to work with directly in the kitchen, dedicate a wall niche in a nearby breakfast nook instead. In a North Carolina beach house by designer Barie Benson, open shelving in a wall niche hosts colorful decorative objects that give the corner character.

Opt for Blues and Whites

A blue-and-white color palette never fails to bring a cheerful mood to a room.

A few paintings and brass accents complete the look.

Lay Out Multiple Rugs

To amplify the maximalist aesthetic in Isabel Ladd's kitchen in her Kentucky home, the designer incorporated not one but two patterned rugs.

Wallpaper the Fridge

Mask a drab fridge with peel-and-stick wallpaper panels, as designer Anothy Dunning did with L’Amour by Tempaper in his own New York apartment. “The key to making removable wallpaper work is to find one that doesn’t look too shiny,” says Dunning.

Paint the Floor

To revive an outdated kitchen in a Nantucket cottage by designer Kevin Isbell, the floor was painted in a blue-and-white checkered pattern. Café curtails and fabric secure inside of glass cabinetry complement the fresh update.

Use Open Shelving

If you have open shelving, treat the design element like it's a gallery wall. Layer each level with beautiful ceramics, framed art, baskets, and vintage trinkets. In this kitchen by Kathryn M. Ireland, the designer also nixed cabinet doors in favor of playful fabric covers.

Try Faux Brick

To amplify the character in a San Francisco kitchen, designer Lynn Kloythanomsup chose a classic red brick look. “It’s like a thin brick tile,” she explains. You can barely tell the difference, and it looks more realistic than peel-and-stick wallpaper with a brick pattern on it.

Showcase Spices

Instead of sticking with a solid slab backsplash behind your range, consider creating columns of shelving on each end. In a home by Laura McCroskey, the designer stocked shelving with spices, oils, small bowls, and a favorite cookbook for a functional and decorative display.

Make a Mini Ceramics Display

If you have a china cabinet filled with a collection of plates, teacups, and other trinkets, put a few of your favorites on display near your kitchen cabinetry for easy access.

The kitchen is not only a favorite place for family and friendly gatherings, but also a space where the hostess spends a lot of time cooking. How to decorate the interior of the kitchen so that it becomes cozy, beautiful and at the same time comfortable? You need to choose things for decoration that will be attractive and practical. In our article you will find easy-to-implement and inexpensive kitchen decor ideas with photos and recommendations on how to decorate the room with your own hands!

Decorating the walls in the kitchen

When wondering how to beautifully decorate the interior of the kitchen, you should start with the walls. It is necessary to take into account the color and type of finish, as well as the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room. Here are the main recommendations.

1. If the kitchen has light-coloured walls, then the most successful option would be a bright decor. These can be posters with pictures and inscriptions, beautiful photographs in curly frames, decorative panels, clocks in the form of kitchen utensils and other types of decor, mostly catchy, contrasting against the background of the decoration of colors.
2. If the walls are already bright or variegated, then the best choice for decorating the interior of the kitchen would be to select a monochromatic décor in soothing colors. These can be plain plates with inscriptions, decor in the form of bouquets of dried flowers and herbs, porcelain dishes and various original kitchen utensils.

How to decorate the interior of the kitchen if the room is cramped? Place open shelves on the walls. On them you can place both an ordinary dining room and exquisite painted dishes, jugs, decorative vases, candlesticks, framed photographs, beautiful jars for spices and bulk products. Here is how a similar decor will look like in the interior of the kitchen in the photo.

Kitchen Window Sill Decoration

Every kitchen has a window and is perfect for displaying fresh flowers and cute decor. To understand how to decorate the interior of the kitchen in the window area, you must first evaluate the overall picture of the design of the room. The décor should be in the same style and serve as support for the key accent colors in the kitchen. For example, if a bright apron is used in a kitchen decorated in light neutral colors, then the decor in the window area should be chosen in consonant colors.

Fresh flowers can become the basis of the composition on the windowsill. They are beautiful on their own, but you can enhance the effect with the help of properly selected pots. For example, wooden boxes and boxes will perfectly fit into the Provence style, and ceramic pots painted with intricate patterns will fit into ethnic styles. By the way, another interesting solution would be not to arrange the plants on the windowsill, but to plant them in hanging planters.

Worried about taking care of live plants? Instead, put dried compositions of forest herbs and wildflowers in transparent glass vases on the windowsill. Various tableware, figured jugs, glass lemonades, decorative figurines and candlesticks also look very nice. You can also put a family photo in an elegant frame on the window or decorate the window sill with a sophisticated porcelain, ceramic or bronze figurine. Here is a photo of some more interesting decor options in the interior of the kitchen.

Decor of furniture and countertops

How to decorate the interior of the kitchen if old furniture is installed, but there is no desire to buy new? There are several budget solutions. Floor and wall kitchen cabinets with plain doors can be decorated with beautiful vinyl stickers with inscriptions or pictures. They will distract attention from scuffs, chips and other defects and will contribute to the creation of the atmosphere. You can also freshen up the interior by giving the furniture a touch of retro style, painting the surface of the facades with a special paint and decorating some scuffs in the spirit of antiquity. Another popular technique is decoupage, but you can’t do without experience or an invited master.

It is also worth thinking about decorating the kitchen worktop, especially if it is wide. Carafes and lemonades for summer drinks made of transparent or colored glass, various curly jars for bulk products with lids, exquisite porcelain candy bowls, fruit vases will look beautiful on it.

You can change the compositions depending on the time of the year, setting the right mood: for example, put sweets mixed with Christmas balls in the fruit bowl in winter, fill it with bright fruits in summer, and decorative pumpkins, cones and leaves in autumn. Here is how such a decor looks in the interior of the kitchen in the photo.

Decoration of the dining area

The centerpiece of any kitchen interior is the dining area. Here, relatives gather to exchange news and plans, discuss business and, of course, eat. There are several simple options for decorating a kitchen set. For example, lay a beautiful embroidered tablecloth and cotton napkins on the table. You can complement the composition by placing decorative pillows on the chairs in the color of the tablecloth. Designers also suggest using textile covers for chairs, which will bring new colors and help hide signs of aging and furniture defects. With the help of textiles, you can achieve interesting effects - look at this decor in the interior of the kitchen in the photo.

In addition to beautiful textiles, it is worth choosing the right decor for the dining area. An ideal choice would be a flower arrangement placed in the center of the table in a beautiful glass or ceramic vase. It is not necessary to use fresh flowers - you can collect a bunch of dried fragrant plants. Other types of decor can be placed in the middle of the table: intricate candlesticks, forged bronze figurines and unusual tableware.
