It’s spring here in the upper Midwest and flowers are blooming everywhere!  They are always a welcome burst of color after a dreary winter. But there’s no reason why we can’t have the bright, cheery colors of flowers surrounding us year-round.  Whether a subtle nod to blooms or an eye-catching wall of blossoms, flowers can infuse your kitchen design with beauty, freshness, and personality.

Let’s start with different ways you can introduce flowers to your kitchen cabinets.  For an easy-to-do project, swap out existing knobs with floral ones. Add a unique touch to cabinet doors with hand-painted floral details, stencils, or vinyl decals.  Replacing solid cabinet doors with glass inserts and lining the interior backs of open cabinets with vintage floral wallpaper can give your kitchen a nostalgic and charming look. Choose wallpaper with small-scale floral patterns to avoid overwhelming the space and use wallpaper adhesive to secure it in place. This allows the floral design to peek through the glass, adding visual interest without overwhelming the space.

For more dramatic effects, wallpaper with bold floral prints can be used on an accent wall, behind open shelves, or on backsplashes.  Consider incorporating individual floral tiles into your backsplash design or opt for a floral mosaic design.  A fresh vase of flowers, or pretty floral napkins, tablecloth, or placemats are a quick and easy way to bring a little color into your kitchen.

Incorporating floral designs into your home allows you to personalize your space and infuse it with charm, character, and visual interest. Because who doesn’t love the bright, cheerful colors we see out our windows at this time of year?  Think spring!
