Our kitchens have long become iconic rooms. Close people are often led into the kitchen for spiritual conversations. Tea and cake gatherings, family breakfasts and dinners, Sunday dinners, it all happens here. A house decorated with your own hands is made many times warmer and more comfortable. So, why don't you give at least one room a little makeover to start with? And let it be the kitchen! Bring a touch of novelty to your home, and then kitchen gatherings will become even more exciting. Ideas on how you can diversify the decor of the kitchen and photos for them are waiting for you in this article.
Couture wallwear
What can you do when the monochromatic wall painting is a little tired? The answer is simple - you need to paint the walls! Do not be afraid of such a radical change in the image of your kitchen. Also, don't be afraid that you won't be able to. You will definitely manage and will proudly enjoy the result of your own kitchen decor. To translate this bold idea into reality, it is enoughstock up on the necessary amount of paint and stencil. It can be made from thick cardboard (from a box, for example). You can treat the entire visible area of the walls in this way, or you can choose the most suitable section of the wall for decorating the kitchen with your own hands.
The next option is probably not for everyone. But if you can draw well, then why not use your abilities for the benefit of your own apartment? A boring wall can be turned into a romantic gazebo covered with ivy or that corner of the planet where you would like to visit. If you really want to get your own ivy gazebo in a city apartment, then you can use the work of a hired artist for a fee.
Don't want or are afraid to draw on the walls? Use photo stickers to decorate the kitchen. They will create a unique and cozy atmosphere in your kitchen.
Plates mounted on the wall will give your kitchen an atmospheric style. You can decoupage such saucers or paint them with special paints. And if neither one nor the second is among your talents, then just write some inscriptions on the plates in beautiful handwriting. Original and quite simple.
Decoupage your old table
Continuing the theme of decoupage, I would like to say that you can do your own kitchen decor with it. If your old kitchen table is already tired of you with its monotonous dull look, give it a second youth using decoupage. First, the furniture must be prepared fordecoration. Sand with fine sandpaper, then prime and paint with background paint. Decoupage, in principle, is an ordinary application, supplemented, if necessary, by drawing some small elements (curls, leaves, flowers). On the main plain surface, using PVA glue diluted with water, a napkin or the pattern you need is glued. Then all this is dried and covered with a colorless varnish with the required number of layers.
Do you think such DIY kitchen decor ideas are too complicated, but you really want to refresh and decorate your favorite kitchen? Less radical methods can also be used. For example, you can make fashionable and eco-friendly hot pads from an ordinary rope or jute that is suitable for the thickness. Jute is a brown cord, a fiber of natural origin. It is widely used not only in construction work, but also great for making some interesting crafts.

After you reach the diameter of the stand you need, cut the end of the bundle and secure it with the same glue, pressing it and hiding it under the bottom.
Dashboard organizer
Kitchen decor (photo shown) can be continued by making an organizer for kitchen appliances from ordinary cans.
- In the number of cans you need, inspect the edges that were opened with a can opener. Remove all dangerous notches, press down well with pliers.

Now the organizer can be hung on a rod above the worktop. Fill in the appliances you use most often. To continue the theme of DIY kitchen decor organizers, we provide photos and ideas further.

Another interesting and at the same time quite simple DIY kitchen decor idea. Get these cute and bright kitchen lamps. The lamps will delight you with their fashionable design, and after you get tired of them, it will not be a pity to throw them away.
To make them you will need
- Bright threads that are used for knitting. Choose ones that match the overall color palette of your kitchen.
- PVA glue, one-third diluted with water.
- Balloon.
- Food film.
Let's start making trendy kitchen lights:
Mix the glue with water in a bowl. Soak the threads in the mixture. Inflate the balloon to the size you need. Wrap the ball in cling film. Over the film, arbitrarily and artistically wind the wet thread. Wait about 10 hours until your future lampshade is completely dry. Now burst the ball with a sharp object. Shaderemains to maintain its shape. Separate the remnants of the film from the threads and fix the design on the lamp.
To decorate your cozy kitchen, you can use handmade pot holders for hot pots and pans. Use crochet or knitting needles. Kitchen towels can be embroidered if you're into this type of needlework.
