Kitchen Interior Design Ideas

Kitchen Interior Design Ideas

Give these ideas a try to get your kitchen decorating project off the ground:

* For a quick and easy face lift, start with the walls. A coat of paint, some new wallpaper, a border, or some artwork all can give your kitchen a little pick me up. Choose something that complements your interior design style. For instance, if your kitchen is homey and cozy, try framing children’s pictures and hanging them on the wall instead of on the refrigerator. If your kitchen is modern, a neutral paint color for the walls creates a sleek look.

* New appliances. If your budget will allow, putting some new appliances in your kitchen can make all the difference. Ditch the old avocado colored stovetop and replace things with newer styles, like stainless steel.

* New cabinets. If your kitchen is too dark, change to a cabinet in a lighter shade of wood. Go for cabinets with glass fronts to give the room a more open appearance. If you want a French Country style for your kitchen, white wood cabinets almost single handedly create the look. If you can’t get new cabinets, try changing the door and drawer handles/knobs.

* Install new lighting. Go for lights that give a warm glow in the room overall, with more intense lighting directly over your work areas.

* If you have a small kitchen, invest in plenty of stacked storage units and consider the new, space saving appliances, like mini dishwashers that double as sinks.

* Accessorize. A few new accessories can feel like a breath of fresh air in your kitchen, and they can also help you pull your look together.
