How to Decorate a Kitchen With Green and Produce

Just as trees and plants are food for good climatic conditions, indoor greenery is food for our aesthetic sense and has a direct impact on uplifting our moods. If you’re somebody who loves interior decor, setting up the kitchen space is always super exciting — it’s the center point of a home where beautiful memories are made and delicious foods come into being.

Like most places, decorating your kitchen with plants and greens gives it a fresh look. Better yet, show off your fresh homegrown produce to set up a nice, natural kitchen theme. So, let’s get started in helping you set up your dream kitchen.

Plants and Leaves

Money plants, artificial leaves strips, and hanging plant pots are some of the quickest ways to ornament up your space all green. And honestly, it can never go wrong! If you pair that up with some large or small plants — perhaps a banana palm if you have a huge kitchen or 2-3 little plants that speak green as soon as you walk into the kitchen, it’ll be perfect. 

A crucial part of setting up indoor plants in the house is choosing the pots for them. The pots should complement your furniture, cabinets, and the overall interior of your house. 

White Paint and Ceilings

If you’re setting up a green space, it’s important for it to be a bright space. A combination of a wooden floor and white paint on the walls and ceilings is a safe bet, and always fits with the green perfectly. Plus, it allows you to see the greens properly. The cabinets should ideally be in the same light color palette for the best aesthetics.

Proper Lighting and Windows

The next vital part of setting up your kitchen is having proper lighting, and preferably, a window. Now, a large window next to your kitchen sink is always ideal but if you don’t have a large window, that’s fine as well. Plus, if you’ve got a window, you can always amp it up with some more leaves and greens, giving your place an even better nature-loving look.

Vegetable Baskets 

If you’re a nature-lover to the extent that you grow your own veggies and fruits, you have to show off your hard work and produce in your kitchen — that’s the law. An excellent starting point would be to buy some vegetable baskets and mount them in reachable spots. You can also get vegetable baskets made of net and hang them around your window — it will give a nice exotic vibe to your kitchen. 

There are multiple types of fruit and vegetable baskets out there in multiple shapes and sizes. Get one that complements your kitchen’s decor and is a good fit for your produce.

Use These Tips for Flawless Aesthetic Execution

• Position tall plants near the walls or at a spot that doesn’t get in the way while you’re working.
• Avoid positioning large plants around a small window or you’ll be blocking the light.
• You can use a combination of plants to separate eating and cooking zones in the kitchen.
• A standalone small plant will be unable to create a lasting aesthetic impact.
• If you’re getting real plants, it will be easier for you to take care of them if they require similar light and water.
• If you’re not passionate about taking care of them, getting artificial plants is always a better choice.
• Placing a tall and slim plant will help visually raise your kitchen’s ceiling.
• Avoid placing money plants or artificial leaves at spots where they may restrict your operations when cooking. 
• Bright-colored vegetable baskets for vibrant-colored veggies and fruits (like tomatoes and oranges) will always help you flaunt them better.
