First it steals an hour of our precious weekend sleep, then it steals our sunshine – the month of April has a LOT to answer for!! I’m drowning out the sight of the grey skies and the ‘dare I leave the office at lunch?’ weather, with bright and cheery country kitchen ideas.
Check out these ways to colour your country kitchen from Country Homes & Interiors‘ April issue – I feel less rained upon just looking at them!
roomenvy - jazzy country kitchen shelving
Create an eye-catching display of clocks, radios, trays with bold patterns and accessories in contrasting colours – white-painted cabinetry will ensure they stand out.
roomenvy - handy kitchen office area
If you have enough space, why not create a little office area. The kitchen is usually the heart of a family home, so I love the memo board and wall of blackboard paint – ideal for keeping everyone organised. Add to that the cheery and pretty baskets for sorting and storing magazines, receipts and … dare I say it … bills!
roomenvy - sunny colours dining room
A quick way to bring instant lift to a kitchen is to paint the chairs. Use on colour for a matching set – or mix and match, so when you tire of one shade you can just paint the chair again!
