If you’re looking for a theme for your kitchen, consider using nature as your inspiration. You have a wide range of possibilities including animals, fruits, vegetables and flowers. Although these themes are popular in country kitchens, some will also work with modern, traditional, or retro kitchens.
Animals are extremely popular. A dog lover may want to decorate with canines or even a specific breed. Those who appreciate their feline friends may enjoy a cat theme. Birds can be a great choice as our feathered friends can be very colorful, or you can choose a specific color species like cardinal if you want red accents. Roosters can sport many colors in one bird, which can be great for choosing other hues in your room, such as cabinets or counters. Cows are great for country-style kitchens, and black and white bovines can look exceptionally good in a black and white kitchen. Deer decor can look amazing in hunting cabins and rustic rooms.
Fruit is another good option. Red apples and strawberries work well for red accents. Green apples or pears are good for kitchens when combining greens and browns. Tuscany grapes are wonderful if you want to inject purple or burgundy into your kitchen. If you want a lot of color or are trying to tie a lot of shades together, consider mixed fruit motifs.
Flowers can be another way to bring nature into your home. Sunflowers are a favorite with their bright yellow and brown coloration. Roses in different shades are also attractive. For even more color options, choose to accessorize with mixed bouquets or multiple flowers in different shades.
Vegetables are another highly appreciated kitchen decoration option. Red chili peppers are all the rage right now, especially if you have a home with a Southwestern theme. Scenes that feature several different vegetables are good for bringing out a multitude of bright colors. Yellow corn is a good choice for gold accents, or if you have brown and orange undertones, Indian corn could go very well.
Trees are another option to consider. For warmer climates or if you just want to feel warm, try palm tree patterns. Pine trees can be a nice touch for a mountaintop retreat. If you decorate your kitchen for the holidays, patterns with Christmas trees would be pretty.
Marine motifs can be great for houses near bodies of water or if you are a fish lover. Tropical fish accessories can inject a lot of color into your kitchen. Another popular idea, though not strictly related to nature, is lighthouses. Many of these scenes are by the sea and include marine life such as starfish.
Mountains can offer many color possibilities. Tree covers would look good with greens and browns. Others may be covered in various flowers and plants in different shades. Rocky mountains can be many shades depending on how lighting and color is used in the scene.
Nature can be a great theme to use in decorating your kitchen. With unlimited color possibilities and a multitude of different styles, one of these motifs will provide the perfect decorative accents for your kitchen.
