To make your kitchen a warm and cozy place to cook and share meals with family and friends, a country theme is a great choice for kitchen decorating.

Rich warm colors do well in country kitchens. Deep reds, yellows and blues look fantastic on the walls. If you aren’t up for painting there are some fantastic country themed wallpapers available. You can find these online as well as at your local hardware store. It is easy to get overwhelmed when you are looking at wallpaper. It is important that you stick with something simple. Wallpaper that has too many prints on it can be over the top.

You can use colors not only as wall paint but for kitchen utensils and decorations as well. Examples are in the curtain or window blinds, towels, plate mats and artworks. The fabrics can have a floral print for a country-inspired design or any pattern in pastel or bright colors.

There are plenty of country themed painting and decorations on the market today. Shadow boxes look great hanging on the walls of country themed kitchens. If you or someone in your family owns a farm you might consider having photographs of your family blown up to hang in your country kitchen. You could also hand paint wooden signs and write your favorite quotes on them.

Colors for the decorations can be more subdued than the richness of the room. The contrast in colors will not give the kitchen a too bright look. Curtains or window blinds in earth color are nice, as well as an area rug to cushion the kitchen table and chairs. For smaller rugs spread across designated spots in the kitchen, you can opt for a bolder color to match the wall painting. Place rugs in high-traffic spots, particularly in front of the sink, stove and doorway.

Shelves are nice for storage in the kitchen. Consider installing a few shelves to set your colored pottery on. You might also consider installing a hanging shelf for your pots and pans! These look great hanging over the island, sink or stove. Towel racks are great for displaying your country themed dishtowels as well.

Once you are finished enjoy your country kitchen by inviting friends and family over for a dinner party. Your friends will be in awe of your talent, when they see what a wonderfully cozy kitchen you have created!
