Kitchen decorating ideasnaturally need totake into account the kind of kitchen furnishingsyou have installed- you couldn't imagine a Belfast sink in one ofthose modern glassand stainless steel kitchens anymore than youcould imagine ahigh-tech sink in a totally rustic setting.

Pick the right kitchen decorating ideas in accordance withyourfitments which, when decorating generally, would already havebeeninstalled and are generally expensive enough to remain in situeachtime you feel the need to re-decorate your kitchen. Anotherfactorthat needs to be considered, when thinking through yourkitchendecorating ideas, is the size of your kitchen. Size andfunction dotend to go hand-in-hand. If you have a spacious kitchenyou aremore likely to use it as a centre for the family tocongregate thanif you your kitchen is one of the tiny, galleystyles. Size doesneed to be taken into account: the kitchen mayhave the reputationof being the heart of the home but that wasgenerally in the dayswhen kitchens were large enough to accommodatethe heart of thehome, with a central table for the family to spendtime around.

Modern homes are often much too small for kitchens of thissizeunless, of course, it is a kitchen/diner - in which case, thedecorof your kitchen decorating ideas need to take that intoaccount.There is often a lot of actual wasted space in a largekitchen,requiring the person who uses the kitchen on a daily basisto covera considerable distance between cooker, sink and worksurfaces.This is often not particularly conducive to the mostefficient useof a person's time.

This has led to the innovativekitchenisland which sits in the centre of the kitchen and oftenhouses thesink, work surfaces and usually the hob.

Appliances that tend to be used frequently are then free tostandon the surrounding work surfaces, brought onto the centralislandwhen they need to be used. Not everybody, however, isblessed with akitchen large enough to accommodate a kitchenisland. In smallerhouses the galley kitchen is the norm and,again, the 'workingtriangle' needs to be taken into account whenimplementing suitablekitchen decorating ideas. In most galleykitchens the hob is alongone wall with the sink directly oppositeand work surfaces eitherside of both hob and sink. This means themain working area is thetriangle within the centre of the kitchen.In Western kitchens,regardless of the level of cooking skills thekitchen user has, eachkitchen houses very similar appliances.There are certain items thatare found in all kitchens, such aswashing machine, fridge, cooker -either fitted or free-standing -sink unit and fitted cupboards withwork surfaces built-in.

Most kitchens, regardless of size, find room for adishwasher,even if it is only a table-top size. Juicers, slowcookers, deepfat fryers and pressure cookers are the norm in mosthomes - as arefood processors, coffee grinders and coffee machinesof one sort oranother.
