How Do You Decorate A Kitchen With A Summer Theme?
From succulent strawberries to marvelous melons, fresh produce is a high point of summer. Eat it at every opportunity–and use it as the theme for your kitchen decor. You won’t break the bank by adding simple touches featuring bright colors and delicious summer edibles. Put away your dark-colored, more formal accessories for fall and winter, and bring in a casual, fresh look for the summer season. Use real fruit as a centerpiece in your kitchen. Let melons ripen on large platters, and intersperse lemons and oranges for color. Tomatoes taste best at room temperature, so keep a bowlful on your cooking island or counter. Grow fresh herbs in colorful pots in a sunny kitchen window. They’re decorative, and you always have them at hand when you need them–think basil for your pesto, or cilantro for guacamole. Brighten your countertops with summery canisters. Fun choices include round glass canisters hand-painted with flowers; square glass ones decorated with chilies; and ceramic ones in blue
