FRAMA's Guide: How to decorate a functional and aesthetic kitchen


The kitchen is without a doubt one of the most important rooms in any home. It's where we cook delicious meals, spend time with loved ones, and create memories that will last a lifetime. However, designing a beautiful, functional, and aesthetically pleasing kitchen can be challenging. It's easy to become overwhelmed when there are so many factors to consider, from furniture to layout and decor.


One of the most important factors to consider when designing a kitchen is functionality. At FRAMA, we understand the difficulties of designing a kitchen that is both good-looking and functional and we’re here to help you. After all, a kitchen is first and foremost a workspace, and it must be efficient and practical in order to function properly. Let’s go through our advice on how you can decorate your kitchen.

1. Essential storage solutions for a functional kitchen


Storage solutions are essential when creating a well-organized and functional kitchen. A disorganized and cluttered kitchen can cause frustration and stress, making it difficult to prepare meals and enjoy the cooking process.


Open shelves are a great option for storage. They are easily adaptable to the size and layout of your kitchen, allowing you to display your most beautiful kitchen utensils and decorations while keeping them easily accessible. It also creates an airy feeling in the room. Look through our shelves for ideas; we have both warm wooden shelves and bold aluminum and stainless steel shelves that will complement your other metal pieces.

Drawers are another excellent storage solution for organizing your kitchen. Drawers provide quick and easy access to all of your kitchen essentials, allowing you to find what you need while cooking. You can maximize drawer space and keep everything in its proper place by using drawer inserts. Drawers can also add an elegant touch to your kitchen. You can choose a more subtle option or choose a unique statement piece, such as our Sutoa drawer that will be the center of attention in your kitchen.


You can incorporate cabinets into your kitchen design. Cabinets allow you to organize your utensils, plates, bowls, and cutlery. This ensures that everything remains in its place and is easily accessible when needed. Furthermore, the closed doors of the cabinets give your kitchen a sleek and streamlined appearance that contributes to its overall aesthetic.


If you want a combination of cabinets and open shelves, our Shelf Library Cabinet is the right piece for you. The cabinet section keeps your kitchen essentials organized and out of sight, while the open shelves let you display your favorite ceramics, glassware, or cookbooks.

2. How to choose the right dining table for your kitchen


Finding the perfect kitchen table is key, especially if you have a combined kitchen-dining area. You may need to consider different table options depending on the size of your kitchen. A multi-functional table that can be used as both a kitchen and a working table may be the best option for smaller kitchens. On the other hand, a long table with seating for family and friends can create a welcoming atmosphere for meals and gatherings if you have a larger kitchen. A round table can add a cozy and intimate feel to your space. Here are a few more things to consider before purchasing a dining table.


Size:
This is one of the most important considerations when choosing a kitchen table. It is critical to choose a table that is appropriate for the size of your kitchen and the available space.


Material:
Another important factor to consider is the material you choose for your kitchen table. There are numerous materials to choose from, each with its unique features and benefits. Wood, for example, can provide a warm and inviting atmosphere, whereas granite and marble are more durable and easy to clean. Explore our collection of tables made of either wood, marble, and stainless steel to get inspiration.

Features: Consider whether you require additional features for your table such as storage drawers, pull-out tables, or integrated cutting boards. These features can improve your kitchen's functionality and convenience.

Design aesthetic:
Another factor to think about is the style of your kitchen table. It is important to select a table that complements your taste and matches the design aesthetic of your kitchen.

3.  Find chairs that are comfortable and versatile


When it comes to decorating your kitchen, selecting the right chairs is just as important as selecting the right table. If you want your kitchen to look cohesive and harmonious, consider whether you want your chairs to match your table or other elements in the room.


Material:
This is always an important consideration. Wooden chairs can provide a warm and cozy atmosphere, whereas metal chairs can provide a more modern and minimalistic appearance. If you're looking for ideas, browse our selection of both wooden and metal chairs.


Comfort:
This is also important, especially if you spend a lot of time in the kitchen. It is a good idea to select chairs that are comfortable to sit in.


Finally, space is an element to think about. How many chairs are necessary for your kitchen, and how much room do you have? Choosing stackable chairs, such as our Chair 01, or chairs that can be folded away when not in use, can help you maximize space in your kitchen.

4. Home Goods that will personalize your kitchen


To truly personalize your kitchen, think about incorporating aesthetically pleasing and useful kitchen tools and accessories. Including stunning wooden cutting boards or sleek stainless steel, utensils not only add a functional element but also introduce unique design elements. You can also use ceramics or beautiful glassware to decorate your kitchen by placing them on shelves or on your table. Check out our Ceramics Collection for one-of-a-kind and handmade ceramics.

5. Kitchen lighting that matches your overall look and atmosphere 


Finding the best lighting for the living room can be a challenge. Lighting is crucial to consider when creating the perfect atmosphere in your living room. As the heart of the home, the living room is where you spend most of your time, relax, entertain guests, and engage in various activities. Therefore, it's important to choose the proper lighting that illuminates the space and adds a cozy and inviting feeling.


When it comes to kitchen lighting, there are two factors to consider: functionality and design. Let's take a look at some important factors to help you choose the best kitchen lighting.

Functionality: Because you need to see what you're doing in the kitchen, good lighting is essential. Ensure your lights are bright enough to illuminate every detail while cooking. Consider incorporating different light sources, such as spotlights, pendants, or built-in lights that can be adjusted to meet your needs.


Design:
The lighting in your kitchen should reflect your style. Do you prefer a sleek, modern appearance or a more traditional, cozy atmosphere? Consider whether you want your lamps to match the décor of your kitchen or to complement other elements in the room. See our lighting collection for ideas on kitchen lamps that are both functional and unique.

Color: The color of the light can affect the overall atmosphere of your kitchen. Consider lights in warm colors like yellow or orange if you want to create a warm and inviting environment. Alternatively, for a more modern and sharp appearance, choose cool-toned lights such as white or blue.

Placement: Consider where you want to put your lighting in your kitchen. Do you want lights directly above your kitchen table or scattered around the room? Adjustable lights are also a great option because they allow you to change the lighting whenever you want.


Taking these factors into consideration, you can select the ideal lighting for your kitchen that matches your style and meets your functional requirements.
