Kitchen Decoration Ideas

This is a commissioned post.

While most kitchens do not have the space needed for a large rectangular pot or statement-style decor, there are plenty of ways to redefine your kitchen using smaller elements and clever decor alternatives. You don’t need ceiling-hanging pot racks or pegboards to elevate your space. Here are a few ideas that can greatly enhance your kitchen practicality and style.

Plants to the Rescue

Even in compact kitchens, you can bring greenery into your space. A vertical kitchen garden keeps your favourite herbs within easy reach without taking up countertop space.

Vertical kitchens are easy to create using wall-mounted plant pots. Just ensure your plants receive sufficient sunlight and have a suitable environment for growth.

Add a Focal Point

A large potted plant can become a striking focal point in your kitchen. Whether placed on the floor or a countertop, it adds character and charm to the space. Choose a spot that meets your plant’s temperature and light requirements.

For a rustic touch, repurpose old watering cans as planters for herbs or flowers. Even small window ledge planters can brighten your kitchen with pops of greenery and colour.

A Window Box for Plants

Add natural flair to your kitchen by installing a window box with herbs, salad leaves, or edible flowers. Old pots or pans can also make quirky, functional planters for herbs, spinach, lettuce, or even small tomato plants.

The Storage Spaces

High-end kitchens often inspire smart storage solutions. Add an 'industrial-style' wall with a bar and hooks to hang pots and pans. Small buckets or retro tins can hold utensils and knick-knacks. Painting a pegboard and using it to hang tools is another stylish option.

The Hideaway

Maximise small kitchen space with hideaway furniture and smart accessories. Magnetic bars hold knives, while roll-out cabinets, drop-down tables, or wall-mounted foldable tables provide extra prep space without clutter.

Bring in Better Counter Space

Minimalistic decor and uncluttered countertops improve functionality and create a contemporary look. Store appliances and spice jars away to free up workspace for cooking.

Using a cooktop cover over your range can also provide additional prep space, making small kitchens feel larger and more efficient.
