Anita RE: Advice On Kitchen Decoration Post by cookwie (820) | (08/14/2007) Profile | Contact Thought I'd mention that our kitchen has a brick red linoleum floor, federal blue and white wallpaper and chair pads that are oatmeal. All of the colors are somewhat muted, so it looks pleasingly colorful, yet not too loud. The wallpaper and flooring were there when we bought the house and although they need replacing, I've enjoyed the match. Cabinets are a med. dark brown.

Perfumed Fan had an excellent suggestion. Remember that anything that is 'loud' becomes tiring, if you have to look at it day after day. RE: Advice On Kitchen Decoration Post by Karen G. (3) | (08/12/2007) Profile | Contact Anita, I just redid my entire kitchen myself and it was a very daunting task to say the least. I did alot of research on the internet though and redid my wood cabinets all myself. It saved us a bundle! If you go to some of the home improvement stores (I'm sure you have different ones than we have here in the states though) you can see kitchens already made up. They'll have cabinets with countertops and backsplashes, etc. You don't have to buy from them, but you can sure get some ideas. Also, if you have new homes to going up around you, alot of my girlfriends get idea from looking at them. Good luck to you and remember, you're the one that has to be ultimately happy with it.... kc RE: Advice On Kitchen Decoration Post by perfumed fan (71) | (08/11/2007) Profile | Contact To avoid a "busy" look, match two items and let the third coordinate. For example: white back splash and counters, white floor with a design including the pale blue. Home do it yourself stores often have kitchen displays, free brochures, and employees to give advice.
