Kitchen Decor? I just remodeled my kitchen and now have to re-decroate. I now have a 1foot space or so from the top of the cabinets to the ceiling. My kitchen USED to have all vegetables and antiques. My kitchen now has blue, beige, cream, brown flooring (vinyl - looks like tile) with oak cabinets, brown, cream swirl mixed countertops that is called sandstone, beige wall tile with a off white pain for trim and a very light brown almost beige paint for the walls. The light above the sink is now a tiffany stained glass with greens, browns and beige. The regular light is the exact same as the other light just bigger. I rather not cram the top of my cabinets with tons of items to keep it simple and clean but what can I put up there that is just a couple things that looks nice to accent the kitchen and fill the empty space?

kitchen decor ideas? I AM WANTING TO PAINT MY KITCHEN WALLS & CABINETS. EVERYTHING IN THE KITCHEN IS WHITE, EXCEPT COUNTERTOP IS BLACK WITH HINTS OF GRAY, AND APPLIANCES ARE STAINLESS. I WOULD LIKE TO GET AWAY FROM SO MUCH WHITE. ANY SUGGESTIONS. I WOULD LIKE TO THROW IN SOME RED.
I nelp with my kitchen decor!? Right now my walls are a deep red (grenadine). I have white cabinets with that red as accents in the grooves, black and white check linoleum floors(i plan to change them in the future because they are a pain in the neck),black and stainless appliances, black table and chairs, and black countertops.

What kitchen themes and/or colors should I use? I'm trying to get ideas for my kitchen decor/theme. I think my colors are quite odd....I have laminate grayish countertops with white cabinets. The tile floor is marble-like with the same gray color of the counters and white and a little cream. All of my appliances are white also. The walls currently are a light pale yellow, which I think clashes with the counters; however I'm not sure what color to repaint the kitchen considering the kitchen and living room are separated only by a bar counter. The living room is painted that same light pale yellow. (Living room furniture=tan and cherrywood furniture). I don't want to replace the countertops right now. I'm open to all suggestions...except country themes.

need help with kitchen decor??? i recently installed a black slate counter-top in my kitchen as the first stage of a kitchen reno. my faucets are chrome and the sink is stainless-steel. the ceiling is made of metal embossed tiles but has been painted over numerous times (currently white). theres no room for a table and chairs but there is a small eating nook with a built-in bench on either side (I would like to upholster these benches--fabric ideas?) the walls are about 9' high. theres a 1 foot high baseboard and a large crown molding at the ceiling. the floor is a mid-brown (tobacco) colored hardwood which i dont want to cover. the cabinets are wood which has also been painted many times and are now a dingy beige color. (I believe they are the original cabinets). the house is a art-deco style circa 1922, so i would kind of like to be authentic to that style, but a few modern touches might be nice as well. I dont want anything fussy or cluttered or floral patterns. wall colors? cabinet colors? help ps: there is a 4-light mission style chandelier with square, upward-flaring shades. the light fixture is dark bronze and the shades are made of amber colored mica there are 2 windows, both very long and narrow. they have shutters on them now that go about 2/3 up the length of the widow. the top 1/3 is frosted glass panels. but i could remove these shutters if necessary, theyre painted an ugly beige

Looking for cupcake decor for kitchen...? I'm moving soon and looking for cupcake decor for my kitchen. I've found several things on e-bay and even purchased a few.

Picking color for kitchen walls? We are remodeling out kitchen. It will have a simple feel but he actual decor will be more vintage inspired. What do you think is a good color for kitchen walls? The cabinets will be a medium brown and the floor is a slate muti-colored tile. When it's layed, one will be a deep blue, 1 a deep green, one a terra cotta, one a deep red, 1 deep purple etc) Deep muted colors. Oh another thing is originally I wanted like a mustard yellow. However all my new plates and stuff are blue so I wanted to pull some blue in in case we opt for the glass doors in the cabinets. I dont want blue and yellow so maybe I shouldn't concern myself with the plates and glasses. Keep the idea coming! Want a color that makes the primary color decor pop off the walls!
What color appliances will work in my kitchen? In my kitchen I have oak cabinets and oak wood laminant flooring. I really want stainless steel appliances. Right now my counter tops are butcher block, but I don't care what color they are, I just really like the looks of the stainless steel. My question is will the stainless steel work with the oak color and a basically western style decor? Also, what color countertops would you chose if this combination works?
Does a led color shelf work in a kitchen with a neutral green? I'm putting in a wet bar and trying to think of something original to do. The kitchen color is Clary Sage, a Sherwin Williams neutral green. The living room is Relaxed Khaki, another SW color. I have cherry hardwood floors and white cabinets. A dark granite countertop is soon to come. I want to put in a wet bar that would have a sink, dark wood cabinet doors, a granite countertop and a mirror with glass shelves to display glasses. Would a led-color shelf work with my current color scheme? Does the neutral / natural colors look clash with led accent lights? Check out the link to see what I'm thinking (the shelves would be capable of changing to virtually any possible color, so i could adjust it to match the green I have). Is that too much? I'm new to the home decor thing, so feel free to be honest. I'm afraid I'm getting to into a cool idea and not going with what I should do. http://www.bornrich.org/images/mood_light_shelf.jpg
How to fit a spacer / decor panel between two appliances? Hi, We are installing/fitting the new kitchen. We have 2 integrated (built under) appliances (dishwasher and washing machine). They are not in housings. When we ordered a Spacer Panel (décor panel) to go between the two was included. How do we go about fixing this panel? I presume that it should not be screwed into the washing machine (!!) Would brackets at the floor and wall be enough? Thanks for your help, T

For those who like tuff questions!,what can i do to hide my washer-dryer that is in my very small kitchen? I have a very small kitchen/laundry, the kitnchen is 7' and a half long and 4' of walking space, followed by a 2' and a half long and 3' of walking space laundry (it's like a hallway). The entrance from the garage to the kitchen/laundry is on front of the washer-dryer, (the door is 2*8). And my real concern is that I resently decorated the living and dinning area very very nicely and you can clearly see all the very white and plain kitchen/laundry and ofcourse it doesn't match at all with the rest of the decor of my house. The decor consist on rich chocolate, gold, cream tones, with leather, iron, wood, bamboo,textures and some stones and topiari touches here and there. I can't really come up with a creative idea for the kitchen /loundry to like kind of hide away the laundry (if possible) and try to make the kitchen white and plain cabinets to blend in with the rest of the decor of the house with a low budget. Thank you so much for your time, I'll be waiting for your answers.

Decor ideas? Moving into a new apartment in a few days. This is what I'm working with....When you walk in it's a hallway and along your left side is a shoulder high ledge that separates the kitchen from the hall. It is at most 6 inches wide. Probably half that, though. under it, is the left-side kitchen counter. The kitchen is very small about 7 by 7 and the counter makes a U shape around the standing space (if that makes sense.) The counters are light blue, but can be painted white. That's all I can do paint-wise. We aren't allowed to paint the walls or anything else. The floor is neutral. Appliances are white. Cabinets are brown but can be painted light blue or white to match counters. I get the decorate the kitchen and the bedroom. My fiance gets the livingroom and bathroom. There are no windows in the kitchen. Any color scheme ideas? DIY decor ideas? I'm on a seriously small budget but want it to look nice. Details, pictures, etc always win best answers:)
