Sunflower Decorating Ideas for Kitchen
If you're looking for sunflower decorating ideas for a kitchen, you're in luck, because sunflower kitchen décor is popular and easy to find at any store with kitchen decorations. The three most popular color matches for sunflower decorating pieces are cobalt blue, forest green and mustard. Items that use sunflowers and one of those three colors are in ready supply. However, if you're looking for a more obscure matching, such as sunflowers with aqua or magenta, you may have to spend some time searching around.
Tile
The most popular sunflower decorations for a kitchen are decorative tiles. Adding a sunflower patterned tile backsplash across your counters or sink helps brighten up any kind of room. If you cannot afford to install sunflower tiles on your kitchen floor, walls or counters, think about adding the tiles as accent pieces. You can hang the tiles on the wall like pictures, use small tiles as drink coasters or use large tiles as hot pads.
Towels
Towels are common items found in every kitchen and are usually hung in convenient locations for immediate use. Since towels remain visually present in your kitchen, they become perfect palettes for sunflower decorations. You can use white towels printed with small sunflowers and green stripes, mustard towels edged with several lines of sunflowers or cobalt blue towels embroidered with large sunflowers. You can drape the towel over an oven handle or you can buy wall hook sunflower decorations to hang the towels in style.
Window Treatments
The average kitchen contains at least one window that can be incorporated into any kitchen theme. You can add some sunflower decorations to the existing window treatment, such as plastic sunflower curtain ties and/or a sunflower-decorated curtain rod. You could also quickly stitch some sunflower-patterned ribbon along the edges of the curtains to create a bright trim.
If you don't mind spending a little money, you can put up a new sunflower-themed window treatment to match your new sunflower-themed kitchen. Think about using materials that match the pattern of any tile or towel sunflower decorations to create a matching valance and/or curtains. For example, if you chose cobalt blue sunflower tiles and towels, you could use a thin, blue valance with sheer, sunflower-patterned curtains.
Finishing Touch
You need to use some finishing touches to your kitchen to help tie the room together after you add some large sunflower decorations. You can use silk, plastic or sculpted clay sunflower magnets to help draw your fridge into the theme. You can buy some sunflower bordered notepaper to place next to the kitchen phone and a sunflower-shaped soap dish to place next to the sink. You can also make or buy some sunflower-themed floor mats, vases, spoon holders and/or wall wreaths.
