A Guide To Italian Kitchen Decor
For some women, kitchen decor is more important than the decor of rest of the house. Italian kitchen decor is usually the favorite theme for many. It adds to the charm of the house, and makes a beautiful place for family to sit together and enjoy sumptuous meals. Tuscan style is one type of Italian design that incorporates warmth of earth tones, and makes use of natural materials. Tuscan look may seem expensive, but it is also possible to achieve this look without robbing a bank.
Aspects of Italian Kitchen Decor
To get a true Tuscan look, choose the colors that mimic the Tuscan landscape such as earth tones, rich gold or various tones of the sea. It is also a good idea to replicate the colors of Majolica pottery to add the color to the walls and floors for Italian kitchen decor. It is however important to use the natural materials such as slate, terracotta, stone or granite for countertops and flooring. It will complete the look of Italian kitchen decor.
In the Italian kitchen decor, the lighting should be of older style, and avoid using any modern patterns. It is a good idea to use the lights made of antique wrought iron. To complete the Italian kitchen decor, it is important to avoid the lights with shiny look, and better option is to choose the ones with muted metal finish.
There is an extensive range of kitchen accessories available for the Italian kitchen decor, but they can be quite expensive. It is a good idea to check out the local antique store to get some authentic antiques. Pottery pitchers and bowls, and painted wooden bowls add to the authentic Italian kitchen decor. Everyday pottery items can be decorated with ropes of garlic or peppers, and can be put in the corners. Greenery of herbs in pots can be used to soften the look a bit.
For Italian kitchen decor, the windows treatment should be either a dramatic flair or subtle roll down shades. But avoid anything that has too many frills, and use the muted colors or earth tones. It is a good idea to keep the round wrought iron with glass or mosaic top in the kitchen to complete the Italian kitchen decor.
Italian kitchen wall decor should be in natural and warm colors. Texturing the walls or faux painting them gives a look of rough plaster, and adds to the theme of Italian kitchen decor. Floors should be on the darker side such as brick, slate or dark shade of wood do nicely.
