How to Decorate a Small Kitchen

Do up your kitchen, your way

There are many ways you can do up a kitchen. It’s a warm space, healthy and smart and wholesome. My “bua”(Aunt) has one of the happiest kitchens I have ever seen in my life. With family photos and reds and yellows and orange and pink lights and color and textures of all sorts in that little space forming a livid, living and vibrant painting. She is an artist, highly creative and also makes the loveliest slurpish meals full of her love and joy. Filled with life, the whole effect!!!

So here are a few tips for you to use to make your kitchen a delightful space to work in, not clammy but cool, not large but homely.

• A warm bright rug in an empty space gives a grandiose effect.

• • Put a small painting or 2 or 3 in separate walls. The colors make it feel like another warm enclosure in the house.
  • Put in your cooking ingredients, spices, dals in matching jars on open shelves on the walls or on the countertops.
  • Hang wire racks to hold your goodies.
  • Display your chinaware , glasses, glaze pottery dishes, cups, mugs, serving bowls. If you need to remove some cupboards and doors-do it. You could even mix and match in assorted colors and patterns
