Cheap Kitchens Decorating Tips That Work

By Matthew Kerridge

All kitchens should give a sense of welcome to the people who go within them. This can be accomplished on a budget and for less money than a designer would charge and your friends will never know the difference with these cheap kitchens tips.

Wall color can change a kitchen completely. Why settle for the same old white walls everyone else has. Go for paler shade that give off a comforting feeling such as lilacs, pale yellows, apple greens, very light blues and even pale rose colors. Some colors can work great as neutral like a creamy eggshell or bisque.

Add a few borders with wall paper to give a added cohesive look to the entire decorating theme you are going for. For a more unique and one of a kind look, buy stencils from crafts stores and some brushes and paint and put them on your walls instead. They are less expensive and a lot more fun to do. Everyone will notice them and ask who did them.

Using a lot of accessories for the kitchen is a wonderful way to give it an overall new decorating look and cost much less than redecorating everything. The stores today have millions of themes and ideas for you to wander through until you find the right ones. The holiday ones which are available make every holiday in the kitchen even more special and beautifully decorated.

Mirrors can be added into your kitchen on the walls facing windows to give it the look of more space and to brighten it up as the sun's rays bounce off of them creating a very welcoming environment for all who enter within.

Dining room chairs can be slip-covered by purchased ones you found in the stores or you can really make them originals by making them yourself. You just pick out the fabric you like and some wonder tack. You cut the fabric into correct lengths then adhere by ironing on the wonder tack. And the seams you do the same no sewing required.

Area rugs can give a room a whole different look by placing under tables, in front of the stove and sink and by using larger ones as a focal point of the entire room. These are fairly reasonable in pricing and some great finds are in the discount stores too. This is so simple. You can buy new drawer and cabinet pulls for a entirely different look to older cabinets too.

You can come up with your own cheap kitchens ideas for your decor by looking through magazines and then creating budget friendly ways of achieving the looks you like for much less money. - 33383
