A cheerful kitchen can make guests feel at home there as much as your dining room does. Invite a friend for a cup of tea in your cozy kitchen while you catch up on things. Rearrange and decorate using kitchen accents that enhance existing décor. For instance, keep collections together such are fine porcelain pieces so they don’t lose their beauty if they are just scattered around the room.

Be conscious of proportions by mixing heights and sizes of elements well. Create visual interest by pairing tall and slim objects with shorter and wider ones like a decorative box and two bottles of wine. Dress kitchen cabinet tops with some decorative pottery and greenery or ceramic plates and bowls.
