Would you like to give your kitchen some old fashioned personality? One way to do this is to create an apple themed kitchen. An kitchen with an apple theme is warm and cozy with lots of vintage character. Here's how to create an apple themed kitchen of your own:
Decorate your Windows and Walls
Country plaid curtains in a deep burgundy or dark country green shade are ideal for adding a backdrop for your apple kitchen items. Walls can be kept simple by painting them a neutral shade or a soft burgundy or country green that picks up the coloration of your apple theme. If you'd like to add an additional decorative effect, consider using borders with an apple motif or stencil the designs along the borders of your walls.
Make your Floors Cozy
Cozy braided rugs with shades of burgundy and deep country green create a nice floor covering that's warm and consistent with your apple theme. Plus, they feel good on your feet when you sneak down into the kitchen at night for a snack.
Keep your Furniture Consistent
Darkly stained, sturdy pieces of furniture with a primitive look will enhance your apple themed kitchen. A large table with lots of chairs will provide an inviting place for your friends to gather for, what else, apple cider!
Accessories your Table
There are so many possibilities for playing up the apple theme on your kitchen table. You can find country themed placemats with an apple theme in country gift stores and online. Play up the look with apple themed salt and pepper shakers, old fashioned ceramic bowls with apple designs, and even chair pads in burgundy, country plaid to coordinate with the apple theme. Display some old fashioned baskets on your table filled to the brim with fresh apples or apple potpourri. When you set your table, use apple themed napkin rings and ceramic mugs with an apple design.
Add Even More Atmosphere
To give your home even more apple atmosphere, lightly spray the room with apple essential oil spray. (only use natural products in the kitchen) and display some scented apple scented candles on iron candle holders. Bundle some fragrant cinnamon sticks and tie them with country fabric to display in potpourri bowls in your kitchen. Cinnamon goes beautifully with apple kitchen items.
You now have the perfect apple themed kitchen for entertaining friends. Why not invite them over for a slice of homemade apple pie?
