Kitchen Wine Racks
The addition of a wine rack to an unused corner of your kitchen
can go a long way to enhance the sophistication of the room.
As attractive as they are functional, the wine bottles you
store wil themselves become one of the decorative centerpieces
in the room.
However it is important to note that wine can be spoiled by external
factors such as too much heat or sunlight. For this reason many
people will set aside a special side room, or storage area, for
setting up their wine rack. This allows them to keep their wine
out of the elemnets, while still having it close enough on hand
to show off the sophistication of its presence.

with details, and the care you spend protecting and enhancing your
personal posessions.

using them as a mobile decor throughout the space, which you can change

Home Bars
There are few accessories more impressive than owning your own home
bar. Its mere presence can transform your kitchen from just a
work and cooking area into the center of the home; a place which
parties will revolve around, where friends can gather and have a
quiet chat, or where you can sit alone after work and just relax.
If your kitchen doesnt have the space for a whole bar, try placing
it just outside of the area in an adjoining room. This can have the
effect of extending the kitchen either as an open bar for friends and
family to enjoy, or as a service area where food and buffets can be
spread out. |

Kitchen Barstools
The barstool is such a simple piece of home decor that it is often
overlooked. However its presence in a kitchen can revolutionize
the way the room is used and experienced. By providinga space in
which people can sit, relax, and chat, you add a social element to
the space, and subtly invite people to come in, congragate, and hang
out.
However, unless they have their own dining tables most kitchens don't
have very much seeting. Usually the owner is more interested in having
plenty of foot room in order to move throughout the space and accomplish
the variouse tasks they need to get done.
In an area such as this the barstool is ideal. It is long and thin,
so it doesnt take up much room. Further, it is stackable, so that
in a pinch several barstools can be easily consolidated intoa single
column, which can then be stuffed ina closet or whatever storage arrangement
you like.

Portable Kitchen Wall Units
These wall units are a lot less portable than some other mobile
fixtures, due to their height and top heavy nature. However
the positive benefit of this is that these sheves will fit
rather naturally into your space, appearaing to be a seamless
part of the overall design.
However, if you do get the itch to make a change, the wheels
on the bottom do give you a little help in moving the unit
across the room or out of the space. However you have to
be careful to remove any electronics or breakabvle accessories
which you are storing on it, as it is not designed
for constant movement and there are no braces which have
been designed to protect items on its shelves.
As far as utilitarian storage, you cant beat a mobile
wall unit. Adding
one of these to your kitchen is like adding a whole extra
wall, complete with cabinets, shelves, drawers, and almost
anything else you could want to get your kitchen organized
and neat.

Lazy Susans
The lazy susan is not necessarily in and of itself a decorative piece.
However, it does have the unique capability of creating a cullinary
centerpiece within the kitchen, upon which you can display fruit,
snacks, cold cuts, sandwiches, or even your own elaborate culinary
creations. The idea here is not to necessarily choose the most attractive
or exciting display, but to let the food be the display itself. In
this way the cook gets to show off the visual as well as the tasteful
beauty of their work.

Wall Art
One of the most important things, which is often overlooked when
decorating a kitchen, is to add a personal touch, a piece of yourself
to the room. The kitchen is a place where you get creative, where
you develop new tastes and concoct new food creations. It is a place
where you want to be inspired, and the things which will inspire
you most are those which have personal meaning to you. That is why
so many people hang works of art in and around their kitchens. Not
only does it make the room more comfortable and your own, it will
also help to spark the flames of your imagination, driving you to
acts of creative brilliance.
One thing that it is important to note about works of art ion the
kitchen is that you shoudl always be careful to hang it away from
stove areas where simmering pots can pop and boil leaving stains
across the surface of the work. You may also want to invest in a
decorative glass casing to protect teh art from spills and splatters.

Wall Clocks
The wall clock is one of the most common accessories found in a kitchen.
This is because time is an essential ingredient in any recipe. You
have to know how long you have cooked something, and when it needs
to be checked.
In many kitchens the stove will have a timer of its own. However,
this can only keep track of one recipe at a time. The wall clock
helps you to expand this feature so that you can safely watch multiple
items without having to worry about getting them confused. |

be biased but we have to go with natural stone. Especially stronger
stones such as slate, quartzite, and sandstone. These materials resist
stains, are very hard and durable, and will be able to withstand
the many heat and mess ravages that will occur in the kitchen.
