handmade home decor

Primitive home décor or rustic home décor is good for such areas like kitchen. From a place of utilitarian tasks to a cozy nook for family gatherings, the transformation of your kitchen will be worth little effort from your side.

Many modern kitchens are anything but cozy. Stainless steel appliances and round, black center island surrounded by barstools leaves something to be desired. Bring a sense of family and togetherness back to your house with a little primitive home décor.

What Can Help Achieve the Effect

An interesting addition to primitive home décor is the dry sink. It doesn’t have to serve any function other than as a conversation piece, but this item definitely brings you back to the “old country home”. Dry sinks are not all that easy to come by, so if you can’t find one of these pieces there are other ways to achieve the rustic look.

An old fashioned, free-standing cupboard with a hanging wooden towel rack to match are easier to find and relatively inexpensive. You can even make your own sturdy wooden bench to use along one side of your table. You don’t have to spend lots of money on actual antiques for your primitive home décor – you can create a faux antique look for any piece of wooden furniture by using paints and glazes from your local home center.

Special Little Additions

To add beautiful touches to your primitive home décor, get some folk art in the form of hand-crafted items. You can create them yourself or purchase them at flea markets. Wooden cutouts of cows, sheep and fruit can be painted and hung on your walls, or placed on counters and shelves. You can fill wicker baskets with wooden fruit, and display handmade candles with country candleholders. A red-checkered tablecloth with matching napkins and towels, accompanied by hand painted salt and pepper shakers and a matching sugar bowl are also inexpensive and practical additions.

There are many more ways to add quaint primitive home décor. You can use signs with welcoming phrases like, “Home is where the heart is” to add warmth to your country kitchen. Keep in mind holidays, weekend breakfasts and Sunday family dinners for more inspiration and think of more ways to incorporate primitive home décor to your kitchen.
