If you like to view fresh design magazines in search of ideas for decorating kitchen walls, but you do not have time for large-scale repairs and redevelopment, we have simple and easy-to-follow decorating tips for you. We will tell you how to make your kitchen worthy pages of any magazine. These ideas are remarkable because they are easy to combine - you can use one or several.
As we first see objects that are at the level of our eyes, the most noticeable changes in the design of the kitchen should touch the walls. However, most often most of the elements of the decor go to household appliances, work surfaces and various kitchen gadgets, while the walls are not in business.
What do you see when you enter the kitchen - dull, boring walls? Or maybe even worse - some decorations in the form of imitation of plants and fruits? It's time to make adjustments.
Updating the design of kitchen walls with simple but effective solutions from the point of view of design, will create a noticeable visual effect. Here are 5 ideas for decorating the kitchen, which will turn dull walls into a real source of inspiration.
1. Color: designer secrets
Color is one of the fastest and cheapest ways to update a room. But the magnificent, colorful kitchens do not turn out that way by themselves. The secret is in a three-level color scheme:
- Color 1: this is the main color of the design of the kitchen, which can not be changed. Perhaps this is the color of the worktops or kitchen furniture.
- Color 2: neutral shade of your choice. Use it to paint the walls so that it complements the color 1. It will serve as a good background for decorating the kitchen.
- Color 3: The color that makes your kitchen unique. Most often, this is a bright, unexpected color that interacts well with the overall color scheme. Color 3 adds a bright visual accent to the kitchen interior. Use it in details, such as chairs, vases or kitchen utensils.
The best way to find the perfect color scheme for the kitchen is to stock up the ink probes in shades that you like, and try combining them until you find a combination that suits you. After you have decided on your ideal color scheme, remember what shades you used to purchase appropriate accessories afterwards.
2. The best ideas for kitchen decor begin with accents
Try to look at your kitchen with the eyes of the guest who came here for the first time. Walk around the kitchen and think about what catches your eye. Do you like what you notice? And if not, what would you like to emphasize? Make this place in the kitchen and the adjoining wall an accent piece of the interior.
Accents in the interior - this is what you notice immediately. On the background of the overall design of the kitchen, the accent part is always bright and unique. In order to make the wall accent, try to do one of the following:
- paint the wall in a bright, saturated shade (one of those three that you have chosen as the color scheme for the kitchen);
- Hang on the accent wall a large picture / photo / another sample of fine art;
- cover the wall or its part with textured wallpaper or wallpaper with a picture.
Making an accent wall, do not be afraid - it's only one wall.
3. Add open shelves - a fresh trend in interior design
If you have already updated the design of the kitchen with a fresh, stylish color scheme and accent wall, it's time to add new layers to the interior. One of the latest trends in kitchen design is open shelving in the absence of hanging kitchen cabinets. This makes the kitchen visually lighter and more spacious, but you have to hide the unsightly plastic utensils and utensils in the remaining lockers.
Instead of starting to get rid of hanging cabinets, try to update the design of one of the kitchen walls, attaching to it one or two soaring shelves. Such shelves can be very diverse, and they are fastened quite simply. Do not force the shelves with a large number of objects, and try to make sure that these items are combined in color with the color range of the kitchen.
If you want big changes, remove the doors from the hinged lockers and paint or paper their back walls. So you get ready-made open shelves. And to revive these shelves, attach LED lamps to the underside of the shelves, which will highlight the beautiful utensils and dishes on the shelves. If conducting wires to the lockers is problematic, buy lamps that run on batteries.
4. Carefully organized kitchen wall
Make your kitchen unlike any other, giving it a unique spirit of its own personality. Photo and art galleries on the walls are a very popular design element, which is mentioned in a variety of design magazines, because such "exhibitions" are truly unique and always interesting. Collect all your favorite pictures and pictures (or other collectibles) and decorate them with the kitchen wall.
Ideas for decoration of wall-galleries include such decor elements:
- album artwork within;
- baskets;
- samples of wallpaper or fabrics within;
- vintage dishes;
- empty vintage frames of different shapes and sizes;
- all sorts mirrors.
There are no strict rules governing how to design a wall-gallery. Symmetrical organization, arrangement in the form of a pattern or completely arbitrary - any approach is good. To save time (and nails), before you hang your collection on the wall, lay it on the floor - so it will be easier to see how and at what distance from each other to hang items.
5. Make the kitchen unique with the help of a slate
A bank of black slate is inexpensive - and it's a great way to decorate a wall. Black color is a rich, attractive look, and besides, such a paint will be a wonderful background for your ever-changing drawings and chalk inscriptions.
If there is not enough room on the wall, the door or wall of the locker is also a good place to apply the slate (and write lists or a lunch menu). Do not forget about layers: hanging shelves or a small gallery will make your wall, painted with slate paint, really unique and inspiring.
