But how do you do it if your budget is limited?
1. Warm up the walls with paint. A can of paint doesn’t cost much. So choose a nice warm color – orange, brown, tan – and bathe your kitchen walls in it. Save the whites for places like the living room or your bedroom, where peace and quiet belong. A good kitchen is active, and your colors should reflect that activity. Besides, with all the spills and splatters a kitchen is subject to, white walls would simply stain and age too fast.
2. Get matching utensils and linen. Kitchen utensils do not need to be very expensive, and when they match, they tend to give your kitchen a unifying theme, a classy touch.
Now if you’re on a really tight budget, you could get matching tea towels, potholders, and tablecloth instead.
3. Add a lamp. As we’ve said, kitchens are busy places – but not always. Sometimes, we like to go to the kitchen in the middle of the night for a quiet snack. At times like these, we don’t want the glaring brightness of the bright kitchen lights; we want something softer, quieter – like a lamp. Is this a decorating tip? Why, yes. Try lighting your kitchen with a lamp and see how much nicer it instantly looks when some of its imperfections are hidden by the shadows.
4. Put a fruit basket on the counter. This adds charm, color, and a breath of freshness to your kitchen. It also encourages kitchen visitors to take a bite out of something healthy and immediately accessible rather than rummage through the fridge for some sugary cake or a glass of soda.
