Zest up the Space Above Your Kitchen Cabinets
When it comes to decorating kitchens, the awkward space between the top of the cabinets and the ceiling is often forgotten about or ignored, leaving it to simply be a spot that looks empty and collects dust. However, this space actually has a lot of potential to transform the look of your kitchen. By incorporating these ideas for utilizing that space, you can make your kitchen look snazzy and stylish.

Putting a collection of certain items above your cabinets can help define a theme for the kitchen. For example, wicker baskets and rattan bags will provide country charm, while wire baskets will give it a farmhouse look. The space can also serve as your own art gallery by displaying various framed pieces of artwork. Or, if you’d like a natural and vibrant accent for the kitchen, place artificial or real plants on the cabinets to make an indoor garden. Artificial ones are the easiest to manage, but if you opt for real, be sure to select plants that do not require much sunlight.

If you feel like you have tons of stuff and nowhere to put it, there are many ways you can use this space for additional storage. Consider stashing your horde of cookbooks above your cabinets to create your own library within your kitchen. Or, utilize small wine racks to store your wine bottles.

Adding Flavor with Paint or Paper
Adding Flavor with Paint or Paper
If you’d rather spruce up this space without adding any objects, wallpaper or paint can do the trick. A uniquely patterned wallpaper can redefine your kitchen and give it more character. Painting the walls of this space can also make a statement if it’s a different color from your cabinets, ceiling and backsplash. If you want to make it a more creative space, use chalkboard paint to craft a place to draw on or even write down notes to remember (Just always have your step stool handy!).
By following these tips, you can spice up your kitchen and make it an even more “appetizing” place to be!
