How to Create Cozy KitchensUse this search feature to quickly find the information you’re looking for. Amid the kitchens congestion of the fridge and the stove, table and chairs, and hardworking countertops, this room usually has little leftover space for decorative touches. 
Still, you can add character to this functional room by using the treasures you probably already have in your home. Arrange cooking utensils in a decorative ceramic vase rather than a plastic holder. Stash the sponge and scrubber in a small painted pot instead of leaving them strewn haphazardly on the countertop. Hang bright dish towels from the refrigerator or oven handle to add a splash of color to the room. Place baskets, bowls or other decorative containers on a windowsill or countertop near the sink, or atop your breakfast table or fridge. Fill them with seasonal accents: gourds in autumn, chestnuts in winter, bright lemons in spring, limes in summer. Flowers can perk up the room any time of the year. Even a bird feeder outside the window lends life and color. Spiffing Up Bathroom Storage Areas
