Bakers racks or open cupboards are too cluttered in most kitchens. Grouping wall decor in geometric shapes such as rectangles, triangles or circles adds interest. Art work should be placed no more than seven to ten inches above a table. The rule of thumb is that a picture of piece of wall decor should be hung so that the middle of the piece is at eye level. Hanging artwork or decorative plates, trays or other wall art in your kitchen can really add to the ambiance, but did you know that most people do not know how to hang wall decor properly?
Different heights and textures are also attractive. It is recommended to group your accessories in odd numbers rather than even numbers. Sometimes, you can just rearrange the accessories you already have to create a whole different look. Color choices, of course, should compliment the main color in the room. Once you have found a style you like, you can purchase accessories close to those you see in the magazine or book.
If you can't quite put your finger on exactly what you want, look in magazines and decorating books or surf the internet to get a flavor of the accessories you would like to see in your kitchen. You will want to buy different accessories depending on the theme you choose. Why not try a country style kitchen? How about a cottage theme? Do you want the look of old Italy?
Now before you rush out to the store, you should probably decide what sort of theme you are going for. If you are thinking about redecorating but don't have a lot of dough to put into your kitchen, try simply adding some accessories in a matching theme or color and see how it transforms the room! Just like a nice outfit, your kitchen can benefit from accessories!
