kitchen
okay My Kitchen is all white. My cabinets are that weird plastiky white kind with red handles, the appliances are white and everything. The whole thing looks horrible. The floor is old and disgusting linolium, and since we moved our door to the other side of the room theres sheet rock showing below some of the cabinets.We aren't getting the whole thing done until summer possibly. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to make it look not so white? Is there any kind of decorations i can use to liven this mess up? is there any some typical things out there that make the kitchen look any better? becasue really, nothing matches, and looks good.It's just so horrible looking sometimes. I really can't bear it.

I cant really help you extremly because i havnt seen your kitchin...BUT i have an idea...You said you handles on the cubords are red? Base your decorations off of that!! Get a red rug to go on the floor...Like a color to match the handle....It will bring out your kithcin and cover up some of the sheet rock. If your door is leading outside, and has a window on it put some red curtins on it. Or if you door isnt leading outside or just doent have a window, put a little decoration on it like a sign that says home sweet home or kitchen sweet kitchen on it! make sure its red thoguh! Or you can make your owne that says that! Or something differnt...On your walls to spice those up, find a pritty red border that matchs all your red things you have in the kitchen! And put that up around the walls. Also buy some little red nick nacks to go on your counters! If you dont want red change that colors up a little bit! At least youll have some spice untill the summer time! I hope i helped! I know im young but i want to become a interior designer as my careir and ive been studying it some what! Anyways hope everything turns out!

put up pictures, put magnets on the fridge, little things really make a big difference, a border for the top of the wall, a carpet/rug type thing for the floor, if theres a window, get some curtains, any of these things can make a really big difference, also theres that stick on tile stuff that looks pretty real and good, er.. hope i helped :-D -a.ro

If you are going to pull all of the cabinets down and redo them soon, you can put contact paper on them. The paint will peel off when you do this, so don't do it unless you are going to refinish the cabinets. Or you could even use gift wrap on the cabinets that won't get splashed.
Try little bottles of water, soap or even vinegar here and there. Pot holders. Small pictures on the walls. Anything to break up the monotony. And if nothing matches, its ok. Just do it like you meant that nothing should match. Like the table could have 4 different styles of place settings. A quick trip to the thrift store could yield some things.

OKay iwill try this dont knwo if i can realyl help. Lets see i would start wit th the little like new appliances with cool clorlos like lime green and red or yellow. Gets new funn salt shakers... smething crazy that will livin up the place. gets fun oven mits as well.
Then i would get new cabnets for your kichen... make sure everything will match choose lke a color combination... not red and yellow tho... those colors are supoose to make you lose yro uappitie after a while. they are not welcoming colors together.
I would say maybe green and blue... thats what i would do.
Okay once you get new cbnets i would paint the wall. nohng 2 bright or dark... umm if you ar e2 use green and blue i would go with just a new coat of white paint... dont want 2 fgo over board with color.
For extra put like a colorful rug in the middel of the room or little mats but the stove and sink and counters... etc.
Getting bigger redoe the counters and flooring and
ithink youll be set.
hope i helped

You can try painting your kitchen a new color , like all of the cabinets and stuff.If you have a theme for your kitchen you can decorate it with that, like apples for example you can paint come apples on the cabinet. You can also get new cabinet facings. Put rugs on your kitchen floor til you get new. I don't know what to do with the appliances. Good luck. Also if you go to like home depot or something they have a whole bunch of books with ideas of what you can do with your kitchen.
Good luck xox

Okay, since its getting ready to be chrismas, hang some mistle toe.. not for what it means, but just cause the red would match the red handles and sorta bring it together. Also hang some wreaths, stuff like that, holiday stuff. every thing matches white, so all you have to do is incorporate red into it!
