5 ideas to decorate your kitchen

That's why it should be valued at best, choosing the right furniture and accessories, without losing sight of practicality and functionality. Here are 5 simple but impressive ideas to decorate your kitchen:

1. use shelves and wall units to optimize space and beautify walls: one of the easiest ways to beautify the kitchen, especially if you have little space, because they combine practicality and aesthetic sense. By inserting shelves and wall units you can always have at hand all the pots and utensils you use most in the kitchen and at the same time create original fittings, which will give a bit of movement and character to the environment, furnishing the most bare walls.
2. place baskets, jars and your most beautiful ceramics in sight: a service of plates or colored glasses, special cups, glass jars to use instead of the classic spice holders, a few plants, a vase with fresh flowers arranged on the shelves or on the table and your kitchen will seem full of life and even more cozy!
3. choose chandeliers and colored light points to make the environment more modern and warm. Do not forget the functionality: avoid too intense lights, which may tire and annoy the eyes, or on the contrary too soft, not suitable for an environment such as the kitchen. Alternatively, you can also consider placing spotlights under shelves and above the hob, to better illuminate them.
4. Choose colorful and particular seats to decorate the kitchen in a personal and original way and add a touch of style to a classic or minimal decor. Depending on your tastes and the characteristics of your kitchen you can opt for chairs or stools in bright colors, with glossy or satin finishes, which will immediately give new light to the environment.
5. Paint the ceiling with a contrasting color: if you love light and bright environments you can opt for neutral shades or delicate pastel shades, to give an idea of greater brightness and breadth to the environment. If your kitchen is large and with a high ceiling you can also choose more intense and saturated colors, such as dark gray or blue. The important thing is to be able to find a color that perfectly matches the decor and that gives harmony to the environment.
