Red Kitchen Decorating Ideas 2012

This collection of red-accented kitchens shows how to incorporate the color into your own space. <br /><span dir="LTR">I hope you like it . Enjoy !</span><br /><span dir="LTR"><span style="color: black;">. </span></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEVercjr_dMjEFVS2pwozBV2mUgyv7lkr4sMjIL1lqFU5f92jm-tmuK2qvsQq4QmDtCW4EtCEydo1WnLQDAMMyNRdTTDwfQOXIyWcYtmA9WbbqRNo0tf9IIJYuFWu_udMw6XHnsI48zSw/s640/Red-Kitchen-Design-Ideas-2012-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Kitchen with Vibrant Cabinets</span> </b></span></div><br />Before remodeling, almost everything about this kitchen was white: walls, trim, cabinets, and countertops. Two coats of red paint followed by a black glaze and varnish coat made the kitchen cabinets more interesting, as did installing new leaded-glass doors .<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm5Nqc9waFrkyYjiJPkmOTO2mQkCnFUOEn_MUp15Uof_J3giFblaIWmIvHgRgXw47ZMKBR2ihEsddfquNzGKCHO4zGNJS2yxiWYU74vFTxUOFRjcjTKP_A2UlvfQ8yq9RZTmOH0an12k8/s640/Red-Kitchen-Design-Ideas-2012-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Italian Red Kitchen</span> </b></span></div><br />The couple who remodeled this kitchen once lived in Italy, and they wanted to bring the rich red they saw there into their American kitchen. The wall color creates a strong backdrop for the natural-maple cabinetry, black granite countertops, and stainless-steel appliances .<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFhTZraF_HG2QyUKdEww977PrPNQfsnNGPDO_U1mP2dwZAH55gPkReWvOiRTRNd5EJAOdpodhfN880yWIlWkVbplawlHF598475HxtGRHTEAqV-WNImN173VOZ6lUZTQtBpQ4FPqoJ_t0/s640/Red-Kitchen-Design-Ideas-2012-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Rustic Red Kitchen</span></b></span></div><br />The lively red hue on the base of the 9-foot-long island and the tall pantry was a look these homeowners found in a designer showroom. The Colorado Rockies inspired the use of pine cabinetry and reclaimed barnwood flooring. Together, the red, pine, and barnwood present a comfortable and homey feeling .<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKIirdwhI3gaipj5-X2ylATP6Y0fp5od5u3bkFuQgSoMmtTGq6HE6J4LdP7vi1mPhj0indltKUUrZ6MU9HS4ne0gWhMEkBymi-DiVryFGvcAIJR15ZMvQMY6_2RY8TkG-lWiVThWrbJaE/s640/Red-Kitchen-Design-Ideas-2012-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Kitchen with Farmhouse Style</span></b></span></div><br />The barnlike roominess of this farmhouse-style kitchen called for bold design strokes, beginning with the color palette. Barn red plays a big part, seen here on the furniture-look cabinetry with a well-worn finish, complemented by soft yellow on the walls and the black-based island .<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwKGVrIXa5ENFMGgcBeN-y22A_lF3v7Nz4jisbwvJFZ8tQPvRbrdJ5TSz0HK7pqbnKcp33CkYKshDagl6xcRqLKsRy4VoYdFUpknpg41XhEOD9Tjno-76YKzfGZBEfcXxXjDfQCoZ3zNo/s640/Red-Kitchen-Design-Ideas-2012-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Kitchen with Red and Yellow Accents</span> </b></span></div><br />Racy red powers this remodeled kitchen, which combines a '50s industrial look with sleek contemporary finishes. The upper cabinets were outfitted with doors made of stainless steel and industrial glass (note the embedded wire). The rug and chair fabric pick up on the red inside cabinets and on the lower cabinet faces .<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTv-_RQqUpU-q5jC6FkMLpN8cQPGaZL9wBkWsfwGd4v_iUIKlGG96L3i5vWTVhykbw7BnxIZeOe9JKkxYJb8-SiRfQ4DIaOEA3-ZU_av1l6J_tig56ujLf1c-to21ToRI423pqINCQyHo/s640/Red-Kitchen-Design-Ideas-2012-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Red Kitchen Cabinets</span></b></span></div><br />Age-old colors beautifully backdate this new country home's kitchen. The red cabinets work with the black countertop, farmhouse sink and backsplash, and white pine table. The table was stained to create a timeworn, sun-faded finish .<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihNaowg_eRFcV7ZjCCtVpIx16MZYEYzI9dZnaBr1k8pxcikFzd6uokSqoikddPDlDVv3M0HkHWJG8LH6kFWSxfwN8SoNdA-5K5O6OJvDpiBPzqG8rCUqRNExGNvvcg_906NFRh57Ck3wQ/s640/Red-Kitchen-Design-Ideas-2012-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Kitchen Design Details</span> </b></span></div><br />Keeping boring at bay was an important goal in this kitchen makeover, and the deep red walls are one of the details that made it possible. A fleck of red shows up in the honed granite countertops, which the wall color accentuates .<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4rX09t3zk_a17REN1Mg3bS_KlDajwx0nxeqOYaqi6JJF540HF3JvQ9t3RxkxK7wVyNwZxboaIbnU-ZDCHkJa0e5NSdvboJRt42RCyf5YSDKqek0P9avbArnmT2n1iaRfQPLKS2-9eG-c/s640/Red-Kitchen-Design-Ideas-2012-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Kitchen with Green and Red Accents</span> </b></span></div><br />The owner of this old stone house had definite ideas about decorating her new kitchen to match the rest of the house. She aged the new cabinets with a coat of green paint topped with a red-crackled finish, then distressed the finish with sandpaper before topping it off with a black glaze and a coat of urethane .<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFKH-cuPkRbZS8uUyJ2V_276GfTjvqt6TJ93e3bcvHZtPp6GYh3Eu4PDc69y83fu9kyx5YLHCUrONCOSL5CAjkvj0E6fgXJOb7vmzpZFksgvtQzuucD9Akt4u2ILv69edjSMp2BM5lWis/s640/Red-Kitchen-Design-Ideas-2012.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Kitchen with Garnet Range</span> </b></span></div><br />A garnet-red range creates an instant pop of color in this historic home. The backsplash above the range is decorated with stained-glass tile that echoes the range. Together, they define a hot color palette that dramatizes the cooking station .

2012 Family Home Decorating Ideas

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDMOcfOv5bHSOjcBvwcVVrNoMFLFvFcrwTe6mGPONqmj6nlvBteBIsbkBBxxoFZ86fyCTBCy1CJaBGn9vNrVTyLkDPk7wWzlknzF3key9nc4fqrrCBPZ2DE9vRbCL54dSD037MLnPx/s640/Family-Friendly-Home-Decorating-2012-ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Splash of Color</span></b></span></div><br />Early on, Keiser suggested a palette of pale blue and wheat. But when the homeowners craved more color, Keiser added bright orange lamps and pillows to the living room, then repeated the cheerful accents throughout the house. Pale walls, neutral upholstery, bright orange accents, and see-through surfaces such as glass end tables keep the living room light and inviting.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW1UCjFkZiFRloQovXz-7i9HBmPrzT4LE5GsE8c7lQ3x7Tqs7T0Pboad0qHp-_vBby2RdgEvLWVpBC-BE4zHDUOYIVkA2saa6013tTPr7Ca5Z7KzuoQWGd8Rxi-X_1ceMQYJu8-8sv/s640/Family-Friendly-Home-Decorating-2012-ideas.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Balance in Pairs</span> </b></span></div><br />Like the couple's life, the house flexed to meet the needs of the new baby. In the living room, treated fabrics take the worry out of messy fingers and muddy paws not to mention the occasional wine spill. "To make a room feel balanced, I like to do things in pairs," says designer Kelly Keiser. Damask wing chairs flank the fireplace, and twin ottomans serve as both seating and pull up tables.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJkP6NzE33VyaUEUQS_dbUFmceNkdJ5WQ0_7vVPOlrSIDKZTH5kq2RjNlqb4VkRHzP2z7nYZmaTEKPShArVHhYkyrcUC_DT-0cbQts3A6nTI1_opvsPpGfade7HM3EkTBs4KAb068D/s640/Family-Friendly-Home-Decorating-2012-ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Wall Art: Think Big</span></b></span></div><br />To achieve the impact of a large piece of art, the couple hung multiple small frames close together. In keeping with the light look of the space, small prints were used in the art display to give impact without being overbearing. The small butterfly prints don't fill the frames, leaving plenty of space within the frames for crisp white mats that give the wall art display a sense of airiness. Black frames add just the right amount of drama.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipCYwhn6qXHkfv9u1qEOH13_PngP2IHJkUzFOk2G0gBxtwSWEYK0KFW113POx5HuFN2A_Qg3ldlSmtPIWuz3Ca_MpPEhOfm5Rbxq6QF-QKDar3JTfoRbDqhk85_VrgBEay5_U672eX/s640/Family-Friendly-Home-Decorating-2012-ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Grab and Go</span></b></span></div><br />A narrow trestle table serves as a landing spot for keys, mail, and grocery lists. The table fits neatly inside the front door, and its slender profile doesn't block traffic. Because the tabletop surface is minimal, it can only hold so much, which helps prevent a pileup of clutter.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb-GRL623zRPH4lN_aA4bxj6Z1Ue8CZl4SpoPnjXHmVYDkMZiMNxw-N3JBE0UAVqB8awhq_FKkFG-SUyMsIlyrU5JELT3dlsWQKwH9VKWY82mEQ69PMdR2_obwPX45NPksRPCTJROI/s640/Family-Friendly-Home-Decorating-2012-ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Wall of Memories</span></b></span></div><br />Family photographs and mementos that had been gathering dust were turned into a meaningful wall display. The display tells the family's story so far and is flexible enough to allow for whatever changes life brings.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbIFIP-CDljMSkdFuRuK5mdWEHffflvUWWnu2raS0j7H8nf9PkNDRXzSuZB9jKKHzjdPv4l7UiuocJmED1JsIaR8EFRqQd26_aKtDJw8kKp4UThGfjeDf3EDdHvjKKxB0YgE_pfAhF/s640/Family-Friendly-Home-Decorating-2012-ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Comfortable Dining</span></b></span></div><br />Upholstered high-back chairs offer guests a comfortable place to linger for another glass of wine or coffee and desserts. If you fall in love with a fabric that isn't kid-friendly, send the entire bolt to be sprayed with a stain-resisting treatment such as Nano-Tex. To minimize wear and tear, Keiser had matching covers sewn to protect the parts of upholstery that get the most use, such as the top of an ottoman or the headrests of dining room chairs. These extra covers slip over the furniture and can be easily removed for laundering.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgN8KrNTO7XwWiLf7xM3VQeXn4x8UxPzrf6V3T7VEKf4lgvSpf2muTFg1g45C6R-OzGobtK-Uv7CL9Kn_-W5oyjzH5O_qiN5qOP3J3YeUFpe4Do8MnIGf10ZAO8Bu_OvbdiM_voc88/s640/Family-Friendly-Home-Decorating-2012-ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Convenient and Cute</span></b></span></div><br />In the kitchen, plans for a wet bar were scrapped in favor of an antique school bench. Located by the back door, it's a handy place to drop the diaper bag or groceries.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj52Q5D_b0T_nB9dp2hrDvpRFPsEUWqCcLC7313BVdi1OFY8T0x9OhWhQXYFW8Gr1_z7ebxxvapzk1Cpim6j4xgVVcmnny5mFUCIKpRwPDa3LImxWjZndTUA3vBzZY_e6vbehMlvDnZ/s640/Family-Friendly-Home-Decorating-2012-ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Outside Influences</span> </b></span></div><br />A glimpse of the Golden Gate Bridge through the bedroom window suggested the reddish-orange color for bedding and draperies. The bay windows let in plenty of natural light, but layers of window treatments offer options for controlling the flow of light. Roman shades can be lowered to diffuse some of the light coming in from the outside, and drapery panels can be drawn to block the light even more.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbOwqU04M13luFamR0jCVNqm9nSj3ENQfWWylqJDOOqxpV9Sv1uUPZuprIJBbD8I4k1tToBkLy95lUn8OtY3wPGFflwOT6CWugkLehvFhUjHZ0ZGMU5V2t14wa37H2D5M9KnTd5ljK/s640/Family-Friendly-Home-Decorating-2012-ideas-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2" style="color: orange;">Matching Patterns</span></b></span> </div><br />Unified patterns of different scales create an elegant, tailored look. In this bedroom, a small-scale circle pattern dots the window draperies, and a medium pattern does the same on the Roman shades. Bedding with a large-scale circular pattern completes a harmonizing trio of patterns. For serenity's sake, the walls were kept neutral, and for design's sake, they were given a subtle, yet special treatment. Cream colors the walls above the molding, and taupe colors the walls below the molding. The slight shift in color adds dimension and character to the space.

A sunny yellow keeps the wall cabinets in this kitchen feeling light and airy, while blue base cabinets anchor the room. A yellow island helps balance the color-blocking scheme. Painted crown molding takes the color scheme right up to the ceiling.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSgFpNYgFuQjsNnJr0RuxbtnTFNnje_k3-3Yeba9iZIrowfLIYxhqUCZ3yvLB690hb2vetoT6aDiIwk_IJ5HpXW4hmjs9pKjFKRJMWtYncuXFDZIunFfRPga-sykpHkQJCfkPSTGz3/s640/Small-Kitchen-new-decorating-ideas-2012-11.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Hide Kitchen Clutter</span></b></span></div><br /> Try a nifty panel system in an open floor plan. There's nothing relaxing about sitting down to dinner with a stack of dirty pots and pans staring back at you. But when dining or living space opens directly off a small kitchen, what choice do you have? Stain-resistant all-weather fabric easily slides closed to hide this kitchen's prep area while leaving the oversize island open for dining.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRe2GUQjTmNSUCmOKK1ULaTJ-kKbGMDsUjp3hVFiaeiRFW8UDZBVDjcYNk-w1QVfyJPtxZd-T39CbPFwTlRsARG4IFSY-PwGXhWCYOAlkpGIm5_apy-fGfmFnx_GVN68zSn5aIp6UM/s640/Small-Kitchen-new-decorating-ideas-2012-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Add an Island</span> </b></span></div><br />An antique table injects instant charm and serves as an island in this kitchen. It acts as a rustic counterpart to the new cabinetry. The table introduces valuable prep space where a cook can work without the worry of overhead cabinets getting in the way.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTA1RoU79BsM25VnZfw1iSkRXX6aV0gcg26GMY7gjt0NaASt5kd9k5VUsPJk2hDvEmlK0D04rqdpKQNPQklMx_admJ6KNKZazNGzWJXF9BQrfCCL7LWtxENbN9RREEJDUPudrxhAKK/s640/Small-Kitchen-new-decorating-ideas-2012-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Behind Glass Doors</span> </b></span></div><br />Glass cabinet doors help to visually open up a small kitchen, but if you're not the type to keep things looking neat and tidy, consider frosted glass. It adds an opaque quality while still brightening the space. If you'd rather hide the contents of your cabinets, suspend shirred fabric inside traditional glass doors to achieve the same effect and inject a bit of color and pattern at the same time.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheTJMV5q-76ClwdOLIEI3X9tlqnGNRS6T-ygFyoLD_Eub9taR846Nxil5oT8ONecZwT5o83MLBaqMQps5dLpPYlSzjXJlYCZpRlb9STlPTtaVAUg_SG4GN4fIu4uZI1xjTchJJtzy5/s640/Small-Kitchen-new-decorating-ideas-2012-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Open a Wall</span></b></span></div><br /> Open a boxy small kitchen to the rest of the house without a major remodel by cutting a window out of a partition wall. Frame the window in substantial molding, attach a small matching countertop, and slide in two barstools to turn this pass-through into a breakfast nook. Set it off with a display of pretty collectible plates on the wall above the opening.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPLO3IuKewQWoB02vxSsJARk-j4ZSi_m2pNq45Msbvh3U0SZxYUWRAg4U12cyB5HvdLneITfgWolmFHO03EVk7xhj9no9g7h9CzAi6VGy5_GJuYWDc99Ey3Si18I8OdYIqNH5fwl6H/s640/Small-Kitchen-new-decorating-ideas-2012-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Simple Cabinet Configuration</span></b></span></div><br /><br />Sometimes it's more effective to reorganize existing cabinetry than to gut a small kitchen. Replacing the upper cabinets flanking each side of this window with open shelving makes it feel more open and inviting. Extending the countertop in an L-shape to the refrigerator boosts prep room and storage.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuW4TlR8YbAf-hqZkCnLeqY6rL8FYrdVkTPcJ8HURwN78NrBkS638_2bYHZKyBaDGe0NB91b9K9xNkoGVGc_nZBYJApsOMrC50mxfB_RQdXZl885tCmffQjip_HzezJ3OAr1gvnCbU/s640/Small-Kitchen-new-decorating-ideas-2012-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Open to Color</span> </b></span></div><br />Open shelving adds a sense of spaciousness to this small kitchen. Getting the look can be as easy as removing doors from existing cabinetry. Paint the inside of the cabinets a favorite hue to create a pretty backdrop for dishes, glassware, and storage baskets.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXuVx8iUDF4J09QpFotIkHAEVk0rRwoWm2eBcmkK46LYWFLitweD8KF9YsjlILHbhCImkn05I67MOLNMMOE5n6xuuC4D_6_91mF_Dhn2j9OGNp2at0BO8YK9x2L06uqDX6L-6m_GIs/s640/Small-Kitchen-new-decorating-ideas-2012-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Vertical Wall Storage</span> </b></span></div><br />Avoid a monotonous row of boxy cabinetry by installing upper wall units with varying heights and widths. A variety of tall cabinets provides much-needed storage space in this small kitchen. A wire storage system hangs on the backsplash, organizing spices, seasonings, and utensils. Versatile folding barstools at the peninsula tucks snugly under the bar-height counter.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAD5oMkzlYZIHldvCTSrC_AAPCqPmOQoOHt068SYbvd5BSwWhQFh7hRihT2-abYQEUkU8Y3iGRpxrSKZ3-riW861vuWzBJPz0V-o3KkhK_WwBMtUi2jxwCmnpPXlq7kdO4s6FxWbFB/s640/Small-Kitchen-new-decorating-ideas-2012-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Cabinetry Makeover</span> </b></span></div><br />Give outdated cabinetry a new lease on life with paint, your simplest and most affordable tool in a small kitchen update. Sanded, primed, and painted, the cabinets in this kitchen now gleam apple green on base cabinets and soft teal on upper wall cabinets. Appliances and storage bins in yellow add a citrus pop to the kitchen.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP3pK5nagC2aGxhJxpmIM8NxEYQy6X7IggwOH40O1i4h5v1k4g2XlR-_-ReYgX_k0IV6Kk_O88u3o6r7vU5GlZKOHOGBhC_TM8z7DINW6MJRnlp2uEyNf0k-fDfFtcPc8qqdyTU7qj/s640/Small-Kitchen-new-decorating-ideas-2012-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="heading2">Versatile Island Option</span> </span></b></div></div><br />A rolling kitchen cart becomes a versatile island in this small space. In a modest footprint, the cart offers extra storage and can be wheeled to any corner when not in use. The finish mimics the stainless appliances. White cabinetry, open shelving, black countertops, and a deep stainless-steel sink give the small kitchen a tailored look.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz8HS9TpDPQ6_PzELJS7oo6RwDg2rp4d6A7-ifSS2glo8LjXxXUkkI2WLLaQOUINb7kQRJPG4JIMGELyCmaAXSctV5RU57h1n8ThObLqip5bQ7k6dCPf052xI8BlbTAaVa6-QjhcAq/s640/Small-Kitchen-new-decorating-ideas-2012-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Tiled Backsplash</span> </b></span></div><br />Create an eye-catching focal point in a small kitchen without spending a lot by lining the wall behind the range with decorative tile. Most 1x1-inch tiles come already attached to a 12x12 mesh sheets, making installation and custom-fitting easier. Slab cabinetry doors on base units and frosted glass doors above contribute to the clean, and streamlined look of this small kitchen.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5wnvoUrthHDs1mZMBxVg-vjueB1Y0e9HoTVAlz27APpCy8Jf3VIp-gIWvGGjiZtbSbjlusmNGLXOoU4ilXtQrZLGZUwI7FPauwhuBB2XHZfiNThVN8tKGnye52j0dvpqSksgfCQXe/s640/Small-Kitchen-new-decorating-ideas-2012.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Open Shelving</span> </b></span></div><br />For a low-cost, high-style backdrop for showcasing your pottery and dishes, consider replacing wall cabinets with shelves. The open wall draws the eye upward, stretching the visual dimensions of a small kitchen. Paint the wall or beaded board an accent color to make the shelving and dishware stand out.

Tips for Window Treatment Design Ideas 2012

Window treatment<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"> design can really pull your room together. You might have very traditional furniture or you're just unable to paint the walls. However, window treatment design is your chance to really show off who you and what your design aesthetic is. Here are a few tips for window treatment design.</a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="626" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaNhvtR4-uZABbWnruMfXzOYKdQWCtdAE0pSQrZkqhxtD_a3wURQwvXa8_u4M7Ckdv2N6duG6DsCDJb6Xqtl42qvAwhlyeOx1XuOIWb6dK4ARDxX44wT9-Conj9987QHNtsOnFKIna/s640/Tips-for-Window-Treatment-design-Ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><br />Add in layers. This will give warmth and dimension to your window treatment design. This is also the difference between just throwing up curtains and really getting a designer touch in your home. This doesn't mean that you have to use a lot of heavy fabric. You could try a lighter plaid Roman shade next to floral curtains. This could be perfect in a kid's room or you could also use it as a country touch in a living room. Fabric is a great place to add color and pattern in the room because it's not permanent or expensive.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8VqA2Hyh8TW2qi1PxS0_bALMFxHvdCwy6aac-2YNEJRlRshvBtZt89d7RqLiy-ZQ_mZg5JH3gkOVs9Co4tVc9e9PXtqcXUjcn-lVikKVvi3qkgGW3Wl8jQSuNr9Q3aPMYhy7gBCmz/s640/Tips-for-Window-Treatment-design-Ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><br />Experiment with tiebacks. This is a simple way that you can incorporate your overall theme. It adds elegance and can tie into other metallic finishes for a subtle touch, but it will help your space to feel finished. It's also functional. You can find some of these items that are like hooks that will help curtains stay open in the daytime. You can also add decorative tassels. Another option would be to install doorknobs or try making your own hooks or use decorative corbels. This will be very oversized and dramatic so it is perfect for an elegant <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD5">window treatment</span>.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk_weYdZBKfEswSXNbOz8pd3AMhwny4hfhM95KnWoqgbb20cT28wNqiOtKvYziZolQf8CCxvntd8phdOpyQ4G6ha5N8JDMEIY7ZkKzVVLpmSSKZ_Q3Jvf9U-c7djsrIDvYWJAWd66P/s640/Tips-for-Window-Treatment-design-Ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><br />Highlight the shape of your window. You can do this a few different ways. You may have to have <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD6">window treatments</span> made specifically for your windows. A lot of modern homes have windows with special challenges. They focus on unique shapes. You really need to consider which windows actually need treatments and which windows don't. If you have really high ceilings some of your upper windows might not need coverings. You could do a decorative stencil around the window to highlight the archway. Then you could just use plain curtains on the lower windows <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD3">to save money</span> but still bring in fabric and privacy.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFh6-3Sz3FjN3SUivnHrtqWzoRGTJzzAb57V1jdE1-xFE8eWAwacxWwUqpR88B2g-RsM6lDOy7jEBc9xmIafB1VUHs2RS9pCn6Qw5yg5xCrjS_TBrvxqUa0B379bwTPvKm5ba1911S/s640/Tips-for-Window-Treatment-design-Ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1AnGmKaDKq4-WJ8bKbfoECgxtYC2qVakLEZkYeuvodkqy6HRCuBCdAxOFrdOovhF6RaHjYog0WeAiqvysfxxqenAB5lfFKLILySJNJvyoxOkGmGO5RyZwci36Qibkf7jJbaUk2Lzc/s640/Tips-for-Window-Treatment-design-Ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><br />Sometimes less is more. It's easy to go over the top with your window treatments. One of the best design ideas is to just use a little bit of restraint. This will actually make your room look more elegant and formal. It will be easier to clean and less expensive to install. You might just want to do the exact opposite of what is going on with the walls. If you have patterned <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD2">wallpaper</span> then try using a solid color drape. If you have a solid <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD4">paint color</span> then try a patterned fabric to spruce up a boring wall.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhlmLtJOcYzrSWSc8v_z-sZaXiCXYfe_KHt-3Rp5vgKMTB16wEnLbv_Ju2_kFfyXwFwoofqBO-3HkEiz_AbGo7b5Zuym_SljvNH4THP2L3MV47W7L34vdsQDQfXT2kFiqF2hqddftc/s640/Tips-for-Window-Treatment-design-Ideas.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidXK0Ddrhc_cumHkads6oLCiMUpnYqHO2DyU-XZoXqMw3TAWjCqoCaw1hgwsoxfwHiyRSLHYG79DsWjo2u5EL0cEN6UCt1llpVwvC58mirzDQ9nJ855qUsFlPIiI6X3aTnXDAwVBTK/s640/Tips-for-Window-Treatment-design-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><br />Change up the length. If you want to go with an elegant window treatment then try a super long curtain. If you want something less formal than just cover up whatever part of the window that you need to for privacy. This will allow light to stream in and also use less fabric. Café curtains are bistro or country feeling so it is perfect for a kitchen or <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1">dining room</span>.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgtYh1S7vMT353SavnldGTQjMc8j_aFjnDQ8aI-W7WjK1ALVWmsvm5i-zVOLd2n_IEzZ1Jv4lzpwSBVLvGi02u8V_58gIs1TEGsApHn6G5R0qKUQ2UuY-8-sxgGTUwxQk3tlY58TEY/s640/Tips-for-Window-Treatment-design-Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>
