When decorating a room like the kitchen, we primarily think about the functionality of the elements that will compose it. However, a few decorative objects can help create a truly interesting atmosphere.
Focus on 5 unexpected decorative objects for kitchen decoration.
A lamp on the countertop
In the kitchen, we are used to seeing spotlights, wall sconces, or pendants. But what about table lamps? If you have space on your countertop, nothing prevents you from adding this light fixture, perfect for creating a soft and relaxing atmosphere.
Do you not have easy access to an electrical outlet? No problem: portable lamps are made for that! Often small and lightweight, they can be easily transported and placed wherever we like.
A rug to define the space
The rug is often confined to rooms like the living room or the bedroom. However, it is just as useful (and pleasant!) in the kitchen. Indeed, it helps to warm the atmosphere and also creates a soft feeling of warmth under our feet while we are busy preparing dinner.
My decorator’s advice: choose a simple cotton rug that can be machine washed. Or a vinyl model, super practical because it is extremely easy to maintain.

Enhance the walls with paintings
Wall decoration is always a good decorative idea to personalize your interior. In the kitchen, you can opt for pretty graphic posters for a contemporary style, or conversely, stick to a “food” theme and adopt still lifes for a more classic style.
My decorator’s advice: you can place your painting on a shelf or on your countertop, or hang it at the level of the backsplash. These paintings will perfect your decor.
Wallpaper in the kitchen
Rather unexpected, wallpaper has managed to carve out a place of choice in kitchen design.
Whether it is applied to all walls, to create a backsplash or an accent wall, it will bring charm and personality to the room.
Beautiful books
Yes: coffee table books also find their place in the kitchen! Of course, we will favor beautiful cookbooks, those that will inspire us with delicious recipes or introduce us to new flavors.
Moreover, having them within reach will also allow us to open them more often!
