Design On A Dime Kitchen Ideas

Glass jars give your kitchen a unifed appearance as well as an inexpensive design option.


Redesigning your kitchen does not need to be an expensive or exhausting procedure. Your kitchen is a place where you need to feel comfortable and where everything should be easily accessible. This goal can be achieved cheaply and effectively, so choose the options that allow you to relax and do exactly as you please.


Hanging Pots


Install towel racks on your kitchen wall and hang large S-hooks from them. Then pull your pots and pans out of the cabinet and hang them up on the wall. Not only does this allow you to have more cupboard space, the pots and pans give your kitchen some visual variety on otherwise plain walls. You can limit it to one towel rack to display your nicest pots and pans, or you can simply hang all of your cooking ware up on the wall and free up space.


Plate Hangers


Pick up plate hangers from a local hardware store and use them to hang up your nicest plates. These plates can be arranged as a casual backsplash in your kitchen or they can be arranged as a border near the ceiling. Plate hangers are attached to the wall quickly and simply, and then the plates are simply mounted on the hangers. This frees up cabinet space and puts your nice plates in a place where people can see them.


Glass Bottles


Save clean glass bottles and then fill them with water. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bottle and place it on a windowsill in your kitchen. The light coming through the water makes for a multi-colored light effect that looks a little like stained glass. Refresh the water whenever you feel like it, and if you get tired of it, simply throw out the water and recycle the glass.








Framed Calendar Prints


Take apart an old calendar and frame the prints that you cut out. Frames can be acquired from bargain stores or rummage sales, and you can paint them with acrylic paint to match your kitchen design. Look for country-themed calendars that happen to be on sale late in the year.


Glass Jars


Buy a set of glass jars from a yard sale or simply save the glass jars that sauces and pickles come in. Rinse them thoroughly in hot water to get rid of labels or glue and then use them to store your dry goods. Lentils, salt, sugar and flour can all be stored in glass jars, and the glass jars can be displayed on your counter for a country kitchen look.
