Autumn is coming to the kitchen. Decoration ideas so you can enjoy it

You agree with me that the kitchen is undoubtedly one of the most important parts of a home. It is not only a place to cook or eat, but also, very often, it is the key point of the home, because it is where we meet with family or friends. Cooking is much more than just mixing ingredients. For me it can even be a moment where I can relax, where I can escape and create new recipes. That is why having a kitchen that is not only functional but also welcoming is essential. We don't always think about the decorative character of the kitchen and the truth is that we can use different decoration ideas to turn it into a warm and charming space. It is important because you will spend many hours in the kitchen.

If you don't know how to decorate your kitchen, I invite you to visit mine to find inspiration. Would you like to join me?

As I mentioned, the kitchen is part of my day-to-day life and is one of the main spaces in my home. For this reason, I have opted for a kitchen that is open to the rest of the house. This allows me, on the one hand, to make more use of the space; if you look at mine, it is laid out in a linear L-shape. On the other hand, it increases its decorative possibilities, as it coexists with other spaces such as the dining room.


To make it fully integrated, I have chosen to use wood as a common material with a neutral palette of light colours, in order to match the rest of the room and share the same decorative style. It is important to combine all the elements: kitchenware, kitchen accessories, lighting, textiles... to create a cosy space. Don't forget to add your personal touch, so that it reminds us that it is your own space that speaks for you.

While it is still a place of enjoyment, the kitchen is essentially a working area. That is why it is important to have good lighting. Even though I have plenty of light, thanks to its orientation, it is always good to reinforce it for the most delicate tasks, for example when I am chopping and cutting food. That's why my Tacana table lamp is a must on my worktop. Its transparent glass base doesn't clutter the space and gives it a very original design, together with its natural fiber lampshade.

Another must-have are my kitchenware accessories: trays, chopping boards, fruit bowls... They are so beautiful that, as well as being practical, I can leave them on display. You can only give a new look to your kitchen by renewing them and making sure they are in the right place. Shelves are ideal to avoid falling into visual monotony. They generate a certain contrast with the other pieces of furniture, and you can use them to place objects that help the decoration and are also functional, such as jars with spices, vegetables, pots with aromatic plants, bottles, sets of cups, baskets...
 
A good set of tableware is a must. For this time of year, my favourite is my Evora ceramic tableware because it is quite complete and has very autumnal tones and two finishes that I can mix and match to make different table decorations. As it is so pretty, I like to place it in plain sight on the worktop and use the cupboards for other types of tableware. 

Like other rooms in the house, the kitchen will take on a new and attractive look if you decorate one of the walls in a very different way. For example, I used the brick wall to put up a mirror, which, in addition to its ornamental character, gives the room a more spacious feel. You can also choose to place some frames and prints. This decorating tip will make all the difference, I can assure you.
 
If you have an open kitchen like me and you want to visually highlight it in relation to the rest of the space, a rug is the perfect way to achieve this. It will give you an original, cosy element that you can easily change depending on the season. Kitchen textiles are a must. Cloths, napkins, tablecloths and even aprons have a lot to bring to the table. Their designs and colours add to the warmth and are also easily renewable.  


Also remember that it is not only the sight that does the decorating. Smell can make you feel cosy sensations. You can use scented candles as well as aromatic plants and herbs. For this season, I recommend cinnamon or ginger. Could there be a warmer, more autumnal scent?



Cooking is all about comfort, but that doesn't mean you have to give up creating a beautiful space. If you don't know how to prepare your kitchen for autumn, follow these decorating tips and visit our online shop. Enjoy the style and feel the chef in you!
