Top Tips for Decorating a Kitchen (with a toddler)
Posted on
Our blogs recently have been very lifestyle focused with posts like how to makeover a bedroom in a weekend or top tips for gardening with a toddler but we have well and truly now got the decorating bug, so today's post is all about top tips for decorating a kitchen .... with a toddler in tow!
If you don't want to go to the trouble (or expense) of replacing your kitchen cupboards, a few subtle (or not so subtle) changes can make a huge difference in a kitchen and as ever, we are always looking for a thrifty way to update and modernise for every family budget!
Create a statement colour wall, or in the case of my husband get artistic with the statement colour wall.
When creating something that is going to stand out, it is important to make sure that you get quality painting and decorating supplies as, in all honesty, cheap alternatives never last or don't give you the same effect.
Add dashes of color throughout the kitchen
You can add vibrancy without going overboard, a bouquet of flowers is a really cheap way of doing this!
Add a mirror
Adding a mirror into your space, (especially a small kitchen) will instantly make a room look bigger reflecting the surrounding colors and patterns.
Be artistic
Why not pot plants in an assortment of vintage ceramics or funky pots and line them up on a windowsill or shelf.
They say save the best for last but don’t save your best for the living room.
Don’t save all your best decor pieces for the living room. Why not put a fancy lamp or painting in a more unexpected location, like your kitchen. It could be a talking point for dinner parties!
Now the title of this post mentioned decorating tips with a toddler and I know that there is a distinct lack of advice here about how to deal with the toddler whilst decorating. I am usually a huge advocate of getting them involved and I firmly believe that just because you have kids doesn't mean you have to give up your design style but sometimes, just sometimes I recommend letting them go to the grandparents for the day as the decorating will happen MUCH quicker without them!
