2014 Colorful Kitchens Decorating Ideas

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">In the kitchen, color can be the same catalyst it is in other rooms. It adds personality, style and feelings of comfort and warmth that may not make cooking easier, but might make it more fun.<br />In recent years, color hasn't been much of a story in kitchens. White has been the dominant choice in cabinets, interpreted in traditional styling or modern frameless fronts unadorned even with hardware. White is clean-looking. It's "safe." But for many people, white and almond, which preceded it in popularity seems bland.<br />These days there's no such thing as "kitchen colors." The range of colors runs from subtle to vibrant primaries, and any of the hues can be toned down or punched up.<br />A kitchen should be an inviting gathering space, so warmer or brighter tones are ideal, such as deep ivories, rich coppers, luscious reds, golden yellows and yellow-greens.<br /><br />Explore options for adding a splash of color to the kitchen with these inspiring photos. I hope you find these ideas useful and inspiring to you ...... Enjoy it !! <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4XqTv-o_KVlx67BOzrnYC658ytBIo02h-4mUjPixOfqcGeyV5yXsMfYjuilLc6uc3hnMMZOulNr1q7lXtBncaCy1n5SzIVMM0MHTtcxxRjpWVnPeNjvbh90NxkAzlVHjUdWyiF2L1h0M/s1600/2014-Colorful-Kitchens-Decorating-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

2013 Girls' Room Curtains Design Ideas

To chose the best girls' room curtains, a great way to start is by thinking about what you need in the space. For instance, if the child's room gets a lot of natural light, you may want to look for curtains with a light-blocking lining. Also consider the hardware you'll require for the styles of girls' room curtains you're considering. You may want to choose a curtain rod set that can be used for different curtain patterns over the years. If your child is old enough, you could narrow down some available styles and colors before asking her which she likes best.<br /><br /> If you've established a theme in a girls' room, it's best to continue that in curtains. For instance, in a princess themed space, animal motif curtains are likely to appear mismatched. Another consideration is the amount of detailed pattern already in the room. Picking up the details, whether these are flowers or other motifs, by including them in the curtains can tie in all of the decor and furnishings nicely. Alternatively, if you prefer a look that is colorful without being too "busy," you could select a solid color of curtains that will still coordinate with everything.<br /><br /> When choosing girls' room curtains where you haven't already established a theme or color scheme, starting with the window covering selection can be inspiring. By looking at different colors and patterns of girls' room curtains, you may find one that will help establish the theme as well as the hues of the whole space. If you find several different curtains that are in stock and in your price range, letting your daughter have the final pick can be a great idea.<br /><br />If budget is a strong consideration when choosing curtains, many department store and other shop-at-home websites allow you to list products by price. This way, you may be more likely to see something in a lower price range that will make the best girls' room curtains for your home. When choosing lower cost curtains, it's important to consider the quality and maintenance. If the window coverings are going to fade or start falling apart after only a few washings, or they're dry clean only, you aren't likely to actually save money by choosing the cheapest curtains.<br /><br /><span style="color: orange;"><b>Written By: Sheri Cyprus </b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Spring for built-ins, or get the same function with freestanding units. This solution works best for less-frequently used passageways, such as pantry or laundry room doors, rather than main entries. The shelves will affect traffic patterns and how you can manuever large items through the doors (so if you're going the built-in route, make sure it's not around a door you may need to move large appliances or furniture through; freestanding shelves can be moved for these instances).</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikG9In-TsczEdanl_4kVVaFRxPLLBrbHACVJUO6oh9UUbVbQDdyagvpI3of9RjBd1KbKAg3cFdtlAnGw0VSBwjhMoBP6JkpsgeTVU5mLQYEhEW4stGoGLVRG4ljdmsJ1Fah0jC6L-mpuQ/s1600/More-Storage-for-Every-Room-2014-Ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Doors and Windows : </b><span style="color: orange;">Seat and Storage</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The space around windows can also be tapped for storage, as well as extra seating. Built-ins allow for customization, but you can also get this look with tall freestanding bookcases and a bench. To create a built-in look with freestanding pieces, take careful measurements to ensure you get pieces that fit just right, and look for bookcases that go to the ceiling.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVDwiYAnX3iDFdTCKPjL5qYUPrBxz_xUQddTpd8yfnwiUXkPFkz6gO3bphxNRaQNz9mYt-o7t7SJS4Iw41LGNy7qQsI-8ATKiFhpABDKwDdg7jNrI2Jj1uUM3I5xJw-oqKHKpqsi26gVs/s1600/More-Storage-for-Every-Room-2014-Ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Walls : </b><span style="color: orange;">Bedroom Vanity </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Use a wall-mount desk to stash jewelry and bedroom extras. The cabinet can be outfitted with hooks to corral necklaces, and the flip down desk can act as a vanity table. A unit like this folds up neatly, concealing any clutter, and takes up only as much space as is needed to mount it on the wall. To find a similar unit, search for wall mount desks or wall-mount laptop desks online.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioc4d1UmuT-_-ZwOKZSe2r0bXTZ7PmWC42OQMVfLnbtH0VcE8Bngn2Mgo6yIv7xIx7yjK09AknsTvtMs149StlBWWYcQCqTRc41DJa7eQk5TbLm6GMk8C6nZrE7rc5FS1l8CJzVkDJvV0/s1600/More-Storage-for-Every-Room-2014-Ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Walls : </b><span style="color: orange;">Command Center </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A wall mount desk also works well in an entryway or mudroom. You can rest your laptop or tablet on the flip down desk to do last-minute e-mails and schedule or weather checks as you're heading out the door. The cubbies can house pens and paper for jotting notes.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXFRISqy6RrlUfGFvgB-m47pZpJA4kh6X1rCjvrJHX52faUTXvOF3ejIC9ziTGOq4huhmLsIl_TfMP30I6MoYhZSFPtoAHdAsS8rx1oWb2wnI7w3DkFXUxm5kUMFsIVojD-qdiHdk5TzE/s1600/More-Storage-for-Every-Room-2014-Ideas-9.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Walls : </b><span style="color: orange;">Bulletin-Board Wall </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Frame chalkboards, pegboards, and magnet boards to form an all-in-one bulletin board for your walls. For message boards, cut pieces of thin wood to fit into picture frames and coat with chalkboard, magnetic, or dry erase paint, or cut sheets of metal and cover with thin fabric to use as magnet boards. Similarly, cut squares of pegboard and outfit with hooks and cups to organize keys, writing utensils, and pads of paper. The frames will provide an orderly, unified look to the message boards.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVF08yv8ZiuY-f8Jy9yTa00d0sGhcT2ktBWAjS0JEspqXc1-hN8M84kSJskM9-fml-oBLVlCBvwv2ZmWhykvzwM6zeG8GhdDSWZdP5neC1VVDmz1wajX18xmDYLvMOi6VSn6Iho29uXdE/s1600/More-Storage-for-Every-Room-2014-Ideas-10.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Walls : </b><span style="color: orange;">Work and Play</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When space is tight, look to walls for organization and storage. Many different materials have a wall application and can be utilized for message centers and information organizers. Stick-on cork tiles craft an instant bulletin board. Use colored tapes to mark off squares to create zones for specific projects or to dos (chores, work, school, etc.). Here, a ledge separates the cork bulletin board from an expanse of chalkboard to create an art space for kids in this adult office. The wall mount rail systems corral chalk, art paper, and hooks for tote bags.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDNZgUioBIBemiT9JoWBKt21YAYoSspeidcfC6Q7Ac6xC1ASTV7sjcceo-PBmtZTjZ2ZkY8PpZSOQqVbendN_EJel8KGjiFK7y4gR6ScSn2_Oe8f_xdLYrq-1P22EZ_NRMUBDdToSbfg0/s1600/More-Storage-for-Every-Room-2014-Ideas-11.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Beneath Stairs :</b><span style="color: orange;">Stairway to Storage </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Look to the space beneath your stairs to add function. Consider what purpose would best suit the room where your staircase is positioned. For example, if your staircase is between the living room and dining room, turn the space into a buffet or bar area. Guests can grab drinks and appetizers while they mingle before dinner.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDoTLnYbAA-eYNQa3dDZQFUU5li6tnSISIgzMP2j1bLEXlRSMx8xq-zfeW3XwCwboChADMthhoQ_oDCf_DZg43K54BNKLmGI4xxkaJVX2sGAy4vcyqBjiReA6cxscz7NY3AYEGNUvi6pQ/s1600/More-Storage-for-Every-Room-2014-Ideas-12.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Beneath Stairs : </b><span style="color: orange;">Stepped Up </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Full size closets can often be squeezed beneath straight run staircases if there isn't another staircase beneath it. But for L-shape, or return, stairways, there isn't enough height for a closet. Rather than leave it unused, carve out the space beneath the landing for drawers to store sporting gear and shoes in an entryway.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXwYQcsnPxd_wWsQ8735hvYhP1miDnSoL1oZ5IYSx3A7w0n9YWBFagqWU3osHVYTVw3dTG2Z_4thpym-qehXg2UQKiDC8scWLtSjv2ZZRLS5yMjKGZT-dNgnouQL_KUAdytPc7TcUFRvM/s1600/More-Storage-for-Every-Room-2014-Ideas-13.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Backs of Doors : </b><span style="color: orange;">Linen Organizer </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You might not use table linens in an everyday setting, but when an occasion calls for pulling out tablecloths and cloth napkins, leave your iron behind. Infrequently used linens often get buried on a shelf or in a drawer, causing major wrinkling. Drape linens on the bars of an over-the-door towel rack to keep them looking freshly pressed and ready for company.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2u5T33cTw1buCWuel9EEdhINRCAFuAzmfz0uoSEDFvKmmpJ-2zWBy7J_cZWK2adZ_u5BqyOmYjEksNcChjtkwB_UwpgnfLL2htOtMr5NyERlNPIVnuFl0lZU7BFAKgI9oFef-ARL3GFI/s1600/More-Storage-for-Every-Room-2014-Ideas-14.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Backs of Doors : </b><span style="color: orange;">Easy Cleanup </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do cleaning products end up in a jumbled mess beneath your kitchen sink or at the bottom of a cabinet? Move your cleaning supplies to a more easily accessible spot by installing caddies or bins on the back of a door. Organize the compartments by product type, and you'll know exactly where to go for the floor cleaner, dusting spray, or whatever you might need .</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNgepL5Qf-lStMNxpn59u5qFA3j4SUZJGbui8cdp5RilxOv7ddQdmrUs35W3r1hMZhM4-y4f3TqmYx2IUl2igyLv3XRl4Q6IaMPtbZWEZgFWeGLytaGQJ6raxdAZ8kY9Xvk4YPXtzLibs/s1600/More-Storage-for-Every-Room-2014-Ideas-15.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Clever Storage : </b><span style="color: orange;">Make Space </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finding extra storage in a small living room, where space is already limited, is tricky. To make space for a bookcase, move your sofa away from the wall a foot or two and slide a bookcase behind it. Use the top shelves for frequently used items, and stash seasonal items on the hidden lower shelves .</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfSGIM5p2R5TGIaAUNS-Xm-R48bSspfNjVYbSJTa7Lz51uaJpMXz1W4tGG7_qsKbJC5FsxM2tPa-Xv8QXk94upmnI27puqHm0Co6Dr3C2batpBgMkOuBiUNGojFNp-Wy3_ksOQ7y9MDvE/s1600/More-Storage-for-Every-Room-2014-Ideas-16.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Clever Storage : </b><span style="color: orange;">Going Up </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bathrooms often have small footprints but plenty of unused vertical space. A tall but narrow cabinet can be used to store toilet paper, towels, and toothbrushes. Look for a model that has both closed storage (such as cabinets and drawers) and open shelves to both conceal items and provide easy access to everyday items .</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>
