How To Decorate Kitchen Walls

It is interesting how you can go into a well decorated home and find a ho-hum kitchen. Sure, the kitchen has nice finishes such as marble countertops and travertine tiles, but the walls are often devoid of decoration. This is probably because kitchens have moisture and oils in the air from cooking that can get into the air and ruin common household decorations. This does not mean however that you cannot decorate your kitchen beautifully.

     Your kitchen walls should be decorated in layers beginning with the wall color or pattern. A pattern for the kitchen does not mean wallpaper, which can peel and quickly get dated, though if you find the right wall border, you certainly should use it. Patterns can be added to your kitchen walls in the form of stenciled patterns, simple stripes or diamond patterns.

     Your next layer of decoration for your kitchen walls will be functional. Install a curved pot rack on a wall near the stove, or perhaps a series of stainless steel rods to hold utensils. Pots, pans and silverware can make beautiful kitchen decorations. A lovely spice rack will also fall into this category. You can even find a clever place to hang your cookie baking rack when it is not in use.

     Once all of your pots, pans and utensils are displayed beautiful, you will want to add some art work. You can go with a kitchen them such as baked breads, vegetables or kitchy type prints. Just don't go overboard with these. Instead use three-dimensional wall plaques that add dimension to the wall, or other architectural wall art such as iron grates or large painted tiles.

     Remember, all kitchen décor does not have to be hung on the wall. You can place items on a high shelf and also on top of kitchen cabinets.
