Whether or not you know how to decorate you can construct a southwestern theme in your kitchen by just altering simple aspects of the room like getting new rugs and coordinating your tablecloths and dishware to give it some southwest. Don't be afraid to change things such as the floor coverings, lighting, decorative accessories and wall color together with your kitchen table and chairs. The appropriate lighting is key in any room and the kitchen is no exception. To compliment your southwestern theme, you might want to look at the style of fixtures as well as the type. Many kitchens can use an overhead light in addition to task lighting. Given that you will be decorating with a southwestern style, you may want to consider using metal, wood or antler chandelier with wrought iron sconces and lamps but Always pass up anything that is frilly cystal with prisms. Decorative accessories are key to pulling your southwestern design together. Even if you can't change anything else in the room - you can get a new look with different decorative items! Concentrate on buying tablecloths, dishware and cannisters, in in colors that compliment your southwestern look. You'll be amazed at how simple and economical it is, and what a sizeable difference these changes make! Be sure to incorporate plenty of American Indian pottery bowls along with water jugs in pottery and you could even try a few Mexican decorated plates to display on the walls to really spruce up your kitchen. Incorporating additional decor like horse or ranch related memorabilia can give you a professional look like it came from a magazine. The most important change to think about changing when decorating your kitchen with a southwestern style is your wall paint. For this theme the room colors make a big difference - you should consider having reds, blacks and tans and blues and oranges either as wallpaper or paint. Try using a stucco plaster on the walls, or if you want something different go with paint with southwestern stencils or wallpaper borders. It doesn't need to cost a lot and if you are afraid of a bit of color, simply paint the walls a neutral color and and play up the color with accents. It's not critical to buy matching kitchen table, chairs, and utility cart but the kitchen should maintain lots of western style pieces. To really enhance the southwestern style, bring in furniture that have a light stain. The floor covering can make a big difference, but if you can not afford new floors in your kitchen then work with what you have by covering them in area rugs that have a southwestern look. On the other hand, if you can spring for new floors, consider clay tile floors or Native American woven area rugs. How you dress your windows can affect your southwestern decorating style. There are a few treatments that you can match up to this design, especially if you use coordinating fabrics, but you want to avoid velvet drapes and ruffles. To get a sharp look in your kitchen consider using south western print on cotton or wooden blinds. One big decorating area that is many times ignored when decorating your house are your walls. Even the ugliest walls can be made to look good with great wall art and decorative accessories. Try applying horse skulls, framed prints, a collection of branding irons displayed in a grouping to your kitchen walls to really bring out the country style of your southwestern design. Adding a neat southwestern look in your kitchen can be as easy or hard as you want it to be. Either way, working on the details and making sure you match your furniture and decorative accessories will help you carry out a successful new southwestern theme that you will be proud to claim you did yourself! |
