Keep Your Kitchen Warm If you have a lot of black or navy in your kitchen you may wish to choose a beige with orange or pink undertones for your wall colors and to keep the look warm. Choosing warmer colors - those with a yellow hue will help to give your kitchen a warm glow.
Get Creative Your backsplash area is an opportunity for creativity. You can make a mosaic backsplash out of tiles or even pieces of chipped plates. Use plates in a matching pattern to your dinnerware and smash them into little pieces. At your crats store, get any product or book on mosaics and apply the techninque to your backsplash - unique!
Arranging Wall Art Grouping your wall art together creates a unique and interesting area on the wall. Try to align pictures in different geometric shapes (vertical, circular, triangular or rectangular groupings) in various sizes for a different effect.
Say It With Slipcovers Slipcovers can provide a way to change your kitchen look quickly and easily. Many decorators have used white or cream slipcovers to good effect, although you may consider a stripe or other pattern to disguise everyday wear.Try to stay away from delicate materials like silks or velvets which stain easily and are difficult to clean.
Hanging Wall Art The rule of thumb for wall hangings is that the picture should be hung so that the middle of the picture is at eye level. Art work should be placed no more than five to eight inches above the sofa or seven to ten inches above a table.
