Decorating With Wall Planters – Transform Your Kitchen Into A Room With Designer Appeal
The kitchen truly is the heart of the home. It is where meals are prepared and where family and friends enjoy spending time together. This is why it is important to decorate the kitchen to make it more comfortable and inviting, and wall planters can give it a warm and welcoming feel. Whether the decorating theme is Tuscan, floral, or cottage, metal wall planters are versatile works of art that can transform almost any kitchen into a room with designer appeal.
Create a Cottage-Style Kitchen Window Display
A kitchen window with plenty of space below the sill can be decorated with a series of metal wall planters for a unique cottage appearance. Measure the width of the window, and choose a number of metal wall planters to span the entire width. Hang them side-by-side, and fill them with beautiful faux flowers of your choice for an ever-blooming cottage-style kitchen display. The flowers and foliage in wall planters can easily be changed according to the season or an upcoming holiday, and it will make the kitchen feel like a warm and inviting country cottage.
Unique Window Treatment Finials
Finials are the signature of fine window treatments, and for a really impressive kitchen display, forget the decorative curtain rods and finials. Choose ordinary curtain rods, and mount beautiful metal wall planters next to the corners of window treatments for an impressive finishing touch. Add realistic looking ivy for a very impressive display that will match many different kitchen styles and themes.
Creating a Focal Point with Wall Planters
If you have an empty wall, create a stunning focal point with metal wall planters and a beautiful clock. Instead of choosing a typical clock, choose something more impressive, and surround it with planters filled with flowers that compliment the color of room decor. Add a few trailing vines for added design and three-dimensional appeal. This striking display will add a great deal of beauty and style to room. The metal wall planters can be altered with different blooms and foliage, and they will never look tired or outdated.
Ideas for Blooms and Foliage
Almost any types of faux flowers and foliage are ideal for displaying in a kitchen, but dried herbs are especially lovely, especially fragrant varieties. Consider arranging colorful dried flowers with springs of dried sage, lavender, basil, or even cilantro. The herbs will fill the kitchen with delectable scents while adding interest and design.
If dried herbs are not as colorful as you would like, add a few artificial blooms. Consider choosing beautiful artificial snapdragons, Shasta daisies, or geranium blooms, and tuck in a few smaller flowers such as forget-me-nots or miniature carnations. Dried fern leaves, baby’s breath, and strawflowers are also wonderful fill-ins for metal wall vases displayed in a kitchen.
In any case, metal wall planters are an excellent choice when looking for unique ways to decorate walls. Whether the kitchen is large or small, you can find the wall space necessary to display metal planters. The metal wall planters you choose are sure to become favorite works of art that will be passed down from generation to generation, and they will add beauty and style unlike any other decor you might choose.
