Ideas For Kitchen Decorating

By Owen Jones


It's a Saturday morning and you're sitting in the kitchen waiting for your coffee machine to finish its cycle, so you can make that vital early morning cup of coffee. Idly, you look about your kitchen and notice a spot of paint missing from the corner of the door. It had happened years ago, but you never really paid any attention to it before now.

Your gaze continues to wander and your eye spots a patch of mildew growing just under the sink, then you notice the ugly brown colour that your ceiling has turned just above where the cooker stands.

The paint is slightly off colour, and the only papered wall is beginning to look outdated and faded. You take a strengthening sip of your now-ready coffee and decide that a little bit of kitchen decorating is needed.

How do you go about it though? And how soon can you get into it? Now that you've finally noticed all the signs of decay that you had been quite successfully ignoring up until that moment, you can't wait to begin your little kitchen decorating project.

However, that is where the crunch comes. Just how small do you want to keep your kitchen decorating project? Can you get away with just sloshing a fresh coat of paint on everything or will you need to go to the trouble of removing the wallpaper off the wall, and finding out what had caused that mildew stain.

Naturally enough, it all depends on you and your budget, but if you can spare the time, energy and money, you'll probably do better, in the long run. to get rid of all your kitchen decorating problems at once. That would include stripping the wallpaper, replacing any carpeting or rugs that you might have, and perhaps even sanding down your wooden floors if you have those. If you're going to do a complete job of kitchen decorating however then you'll also need that all important final coat of fresh paint to smarten up your kitchen.

You may also want to think about replacing those old lace curtains as they're also probably looking distinctly ratty by now. So go ahead and splash out on your kitchen decorating project and replace the curtains and while you're at it you might want to think of investing in a new set of tea towels as well. It doesn't hurt to go all out when you can.

And when you're finally finished, you will be able to sit back and enjoy your new kitchen and remember that weekend morning that started it all off. You'll have no regrets whatsoever, since your kitchen decorating project has landed you with a far better kitchen than you had ever expected.

A feeling of contentment rushes through you as you bring your new coffee mug to your lips. Life just doesn't get any better than when you're enjoying the fruits of your efforts and labour.
