My one piece of kitchen decorating advice? Decorate with the things you actually use. The prettiest kitchens aren’t filled with decor for the sake of decor. They’re filled with beautiful, functional things that earn their spot on the counter: a great wood cutting board, a crock of utensils, a bowl you actually reach for, cookbooks with dog-eared pages, a pretty bottle of olive oil, a lamp that gives you that perfect glow at night. When you choose quality, functional pieces that are also beautiful, you don’t have to sacrifice precious surface space just to make your kitchen feel decorated. The things you need every day become the decor. It’s what makes a kitchen feel warm, collected and genuinely lived in…not overly styled or like no one actually cooks there.
