November 1, 2015A cottage style kitchen is one of the most elegant and ideal choice when thinking of adding creativity to it. The following post describes some unique ways of adding creativity and charm to your kitchen.
The following are a few ways to create a unique yet so simple and fulfilling kitchen for your home.
Add Glass Paneled Cabinet Doors
A shift from wood framed cabinetry to tempered glass inserts can altogether give a different look to your kitchen. You can choose from a variety of glass style from frosted to ribbed. You can use glass paneled cabinets to store dishes, glassware, pitchers, and trinkets. The glass door cabinetry is not just a way to expand storage but also add style and charm to the kitchen.
Tip! You can even paint the edges of shelves similar to the color of kitchen walls or in contrast to create a more vibrant look.
Install Open Shelves
Mounting shelves will add to the storage space and also add to the charisma of your kitchen. You can mount open shelves in the vertical spaces near the windows, between upper cabinets, next to major appliances and wherever it is practically possible to fit in. these open shelves can be used to display multi-purpose items such as old metal pitchers, crockery, plants, and charming woven baskets.
Tip! For making it visually more appealing, you can paint the shelves with the same color as that of cabinet trim.
Replace Modern Hardware with Vintage
Vintage varieties have a class of their own. You can install porcelain knobs and handles, floral accents for metal varieties. This is a less tricky job as you will find endless styles and designs for handles and knobs.
Tip! New hardware is an easy way to add a new look to the cabinetry instead of replacing the cabinets.
Decorate With A Vintage Wooden Sideboard
A vintage wooden sideboard is an excellent choice while decorating a cottage style kitchen. It is the best way to keep stacks of plates, other dishes, knickknacks, and the most treasured cottage style crockery. Moreover, this fulfills the need for extra space during a buffet meal and will not consume extra counter space needed for food preparation.
Tip! In all, adding this sideboard will avoid the chaos during the dine time and will help you in managing things better.
Wall Decor Ideas
Even if you have the world-class kitchen accessories, expensive kitchen shelves and cabinets, your kitchen is still incomplete without a wall décor.
You can choose any decorating theme to glorify your kitchen which reflects your presence in the kitchen. Choose a wall art considering the theme and color of the kitchen. Floral canvas wall art and elegant wrought iron wall decor are classy choices which are available in all sizes, colors, and varieties that would fit to your budget.
Tip! A beautiful wall art can make your kitchen vivacious.
