If there's one room in the house that you should decorate as a special family room and an extension where you entertain guests, the kitchen should be in the top of the list. There's this popular quote that says food brings people together, that no two hostile people can remain enemies after sharing a meal. Doesn't that speak highly too of the place where you make your meals (added to the importance of eating and good food)? The kitchen should be regarded as a special part of the house and not merely where you prepare your meals. Transforming your kitchen into a lovely space can make it an instant favorite in your house.

A favorite place is usually a happy place. Just think of Disneyland, the happiest place on earth! It's a beloved destination for young and adults alike. Making your kitchen a cheerful place starts with having good lighting. Take advantage of natural light by using fluffy curtains, window blinds or sheer panels. Even at night, these window covers can make peeping out to the starry sky effortless.

Make the kitchen more attractive by adding decorative items. A surprise twist of ornaments transforms the kitchen into a special place. Who says the kitchen can only have pots and pans? Showcase your collectibles, cute knick-knacks and beautiful only-for-super-special-occasions plates, teacups and silverware. You can build a shelf to hold the decors. Your kitchen will look classy in an instant.

Kitchen shelves aren't just for storing utensils. You can use it as your display case. If you have a collection of china or other nice silverware and teacups, you can line them on the shelf as pretty add-ons to your kitchen.

Moods can be reflected through colors. Exude the warmth and jovial feelings in your kitchen by painting the walls a jolly color. Go for lighter shades to have a refreshing look. Remember, you'll be cooking too so you don't want to create an impression of more heat by using dark colors. You can be perspiring like crazy while baking the stuffed chicken, but the room will still look airy with a light-colored wall.

To maximize the positive mood, decorate with area rugs. Choose rugs that are stain resistant, lightweight for easy wash and dry, durable to withstand the coming and going of you and your family and guests, and soft for a better cushioning for your tired feet. Match the area rugs with the color of the kitchen. You can place one under the table and chairs, under the sink, by the entryway, and under the cooking stove or oven, whichever you use more often. Area rugs will boost the color and enhance the entire room. It will really look like welcoming place.

Lastly, don't forget to keep your kitchen clean. Delegate chores even if you are voted as the family's chef to maintain its polished look. Let's admit it, the kitchen if not properly cared for can really take the toll of grease, oil, spills and incessant meal-preparing activities. Not to mention the unpleasant sight of unwashed dishes piled up in the sink. Decorate your kitchen for a new look only if you and your family are willing to maintain its cleanliness. Otherwise, poor decors the dirt and clutter will just ruin the supposedly cheery mood and the pretty kitchen design.
