5 fun kitchen wall decorating projects

Blank walls are frankly pretty uninteresting, but all it takes is a simple makeover to turn them from blah to wow. You can use decorative stickers, wallpaper or, for a more personal touch, make your own kitchen wall decoration. Blank walls serve as a canvas and you can let your creativity run wild. Here are some easy projects to get you started:

Collection of paper plates

Porcelain is a classic, but why not give it a modern twist and use paper plates? Find plates in the colors, shapes, and patterns you like and display them as is, or use them as frames but place a photo, recipe, or artwork in the center. If you want to protect the image, cover everything with a coat of clear varnish or sealer (such as Mod Podge).

Cutlery

Antique cutlery makes for interesting wall decor, and it’s more fun to put it on display rather than leave it stacked in a drawer. Show your brilliance using simple frames. Group them in pairs or different sizes and hang them on your wall. Shadow boxes also make great supports; display them alternately with the frames. Be sure to use a strong adhesive that can support the weight of the cutlery. You don’t want them going through the glass when you least expect it!

framed recipes

Most of us have a few favorite recipes that we return to time and time again, and why not put them up on the wall? A nice way to display them is by mounting them in rectangular fluted aluminum pie pans. Enlarge and print your recipes on a nice special board, cut them out to fit on the tins, and apply glue. Spray polyurethane sealer on the surface to seal and achieve a gloss effect. This is also a great way to display those treasured handwritten recipes passed down from previous generations.

Artwork

If you live in a rented apartment and are not allowed to put nails on the walls, decorate it with vinyl wall stickers. These are peel and stick decorative arts that come in a variety of fun designs. I recently came across some humorous “kitchen” wall decals that have become great conversation pieces.

Mirrors

Mirrors are decorative, but most of us don’t think about putting them in the kitchen. The fact is, they work just as well there: a large gold-framed mirror can look fabulous in a white kitchen and provides the perfect unexpected touch. Or use frameless mirrors as you would plates – group several together.

Kitchens are often the last spaces to get those extra decorative touches, but since they are often the place where everyone ends up gathering at parties despite our efforts to make guests feel comfortable in the living room or dining room, they deserve so much attention. like any other area of ​​the house. And as you can see, it doesn’t have to be complicated.
