Spice up your kitchen décor

If it's not in the cards to renovate your kitchen, don't worry. You can still transform the look of this hardworking heart of the home just by decorating it well. Here are three tips to get you started.

1. Add Zest with Accents

It's time to harness the power of accents to make your kitchen look sensational.

Here are a few of the hot spots I like to hit when I decorate a kitchen:

Over the Cabinets

When you decorate the tops of cabinets, remember that accents look smaller when they are up high. Little accents will not only get lost up there, they will make the overall display look busy. My favorite approach is to create a tight cluster of interesting accents, combining a variety of sizes and shapes. Consider using brightly colored pottery vessels.

By the Sink

My friend Anne just built her home, so she had the enviable opportunity to create her dream kitchen. And boy, did she succeed! To bring out the great bones of the space, she's selected a few great accents. For example, she perched vases above her sink. I really like this little display because it's so functional, not frivolous. She can leave the vases empty, giving her a little pop of color, or she can fill them with spring blooms.
