The decor of the kitchen allows you to revive the standard layout and set of furniture, and each item made by hand will add warmth to the home atmosphere. In addition, everything touched by family members in the process of creativity, in which their energy was invested, has an important feature - this is a family collection of memory, a collection of happy moments when everyone was together and made their lives beautiful.

Basic decor items and artistic techniques

When creating the author's decor for the kitchen of different styles, it is advisable to first study the features of an interior style to decorate the room, rather than bring in discernible dissonance.

Which of the above can be done by hand? What skills to apply? If you are skilled in embroidery, knitting, sewing, decoupage, glass painting, photography, color graphics, you can create a unique decoration for the kitchen with your own hands. You will need inspiration and patience, but the main thing is courage. One should not be afraid of anything and initially think over the dominant idea around which interior items will be gathered, filling the atmosphere of the kitchen with individuality.

Decorating the kitchen in the style of minimalism

In this space, nothing distracts from the main - the most important ritual of cooking and eating. Calm colors, monochrome, smooth facades of kitchen furniture, laconic forms, lack of elaborate details, tonal support of facades through shades of finishing materials for the floor, walls and ceiling: everything organically complements the idea of ​​"lack of excess - there is harmony."

But even in such a “sterile” kitchen, bright accents are required so that it ceases to resemble a laboratory or an operating room. It will be interesting for them to linger, they are able to feed the chef's inspiration in the culinary process.

Black and white authoring photos or pictures in sepia, umber, ultramarine, which depict happy family moments, landscapes that create the necessary mood, or impressive events can become the decor for the walls. Also it can be modular pictures made on your photo.

If the owners have a desire to bring a bright note to the monochrome interior, add a bit of play, fun, fun to the absolute severity, stop being too adult and serious, then bright children's drawings framed with wide white mat can act as a design dominant.

Works on paper placed in the kitchen are best placed in frames with glass, because exposure to hot air, steam saturated with the smallest fat droplets, can quickly spoil the work of "home" artists.

The decor in a classic style - difficult, but possible

Decorating a classic-style kitchen with hand-made items is quite difficult, because the very direction dictates the predominance of pompous and rather expensive decor. However, in this case, it is also possible to use your talents. When decorating a classic kitchen with their own hands, the skills of a florist will be useful - drawing up bouquets of fresh and decorative flowers that change according to season and desire. The presence of luxurious bouquets - this is one of the mandatory methods of decorating a classic interior.

Also interesting decor will be candles. In the implementation of this idea it is possible to work in three directions:

• decor of existing candelabra and candlesticks with gilding (a rather complicated process using paints or gold leaflets), beads, artificial "precious" stones
• creating original compositions of candles and flowers, placed in transparent flasks or vases
• personal production of scented candles using coffee beans, floral, fruit elements, citrus and herbal flavors, essential oils).

Bright and cheerful - decorative features of the Russian style

Russian style in the interior of the kitchen can use elements of folk art, refer to historical patterns, on the other hand - to be a reference to the cozy atmosphere of the old manor, full of spiritual serenity and warm hospitality. It requires the calm colors of the walls and the kitchen and a large number of bright objects combined with each other.

In the historical version of the style, you should use handicrafts and pick up the appropriate textiles. By making this kitchen decor with your own hands, you can embroider traditional ornaments with short curtains covering half of the windows, paint kitchen fronts under Gzhel, decorate the free space with a composition of trays painted in Gorodetsk, Khokhloma or Palekh style. If there are masters of woodcarving or birch bark weaving in the house, then the exposition of boxes, tuescs and carved boards will decorate the central wall of the kitchen, become a magnet that attracts the eye.

In the second case, one cannot do without a large round table, a knitted tablecloth with tassels and a lowered fabric lampshade, trimmed with a fringe, which spreads warm amber light on dark evenings. The ability to crochet, basic sewing skills and good taste will help to carry out the idea.

Tablecloth, lampshade, other textile elements can be made with your own hands, using advice from the side. Gain experience by looking at several master classes in needlework or specialized magazines.

Decorating the kitchen in the Russian style, you can personally create beautiful little things: a cap for the brewing capacity - a woman on a teapot, bundles of bagels, a small house with a broom to drive away evil spirits and evil spirits from the home. On the general light background, bright fakes in folk style will look great.

Provence: the possibility of large-scale decoration

In this style, in addition to decorating small items, it is worthwhile to get carried away with the stylization of large surfaces - the facades of the kitchen set. Doors can be painted on their own or use ready-made plastic stencils, combining them together. Also templates are easy to make by hand.

If you are going to decorate furniture doors with not repetitive, but with different paintings, then first make sure to make sketches in full size and attach them to the masking tape door. Having gone a few steps, you will be able to cover the whole panorama with your eyes and, if necessary, swap pictures in order to achieve the most advantageous effect.

Craftswomen decoupage can also apply their skills on the facades of furniture. If we consider that the doors in the headset are at least ten, then there will be, where to turn, to implement all the ideas. After completing the work, consider how to protect the surface from aggressive mechanical impact, it may be worth using another fixing layer of varnish.

In some versions of the design of the kitchen space in the style of Provence, instead of the doors of the lower cabinets, hang cloth, densely assembled curtains on metal brackets. Such curtains with designer embroidery will decorate the kitchen and will demonstrate other, not only culinary, talents of the housewife.

The glass doors of the upper cabinets can be closed from the inside with translucent curtains with a merezhka or ornamental embroidery, or you can place jars with blanks behind the glass of the antique cupboard. Fabrics with embroidery, embroidery “embroidery” or lace-trimmed caps, worn over metal covers, tied with ribbons, twine or jute cords will make ordinary jars with homemade jam a perfect excuse to boast handles and a great gift to guests.

We paint the elements of decor in the style of country

In country-style, special attention is paid to kitchen utensils. Braziers polished to a shine, ladles, pots are placed on the open shelves, hung on the walls on solid hooks or above a kitchen island. In France, there is a tradition to inherit antique kitchen items made of tin. There, the newlyweds are often given tin bowls, inherited from their great-grandmother, as a symbol of culinary excellence, a piece of family pride. But if you are not a master of embossing or engraving on metal, then it is easier to follow the path of decorating more “amenable” objects.

In the case of decorating "rustic" kitchen with your own hands, you can apply the skills of painting on glass, decoupage, drawing patterns with acrylic paints on ceramic dishes. Painted crockery can be a marvelous wall decor. And if you decorate the plates with your impressions from your travels, then on a free vertical surface you can create a home map of distant wanderings.

Glassware - bottles for olive oil, an integral participant in the country-style culinary process, sweet infusions, homemade fruit vinegar - supplemented with an image of the main ingredients of the product, will enliven every corner of the kitchen space.

The same floral motifs can be repeated on the elements of textile design. Embroidered or printed on the stencil with special inks for fabric, flower garlands will decorate the edge of the tablecloth, lambrequin or substitute napkin. Apply a little effort, patience, do not be afraid of mistakes and you will get a harmonious kitchen interior, expressing your personality!
