Apple Decoration Ideas for a Kitchen

Paint, Paper and Murals

• Incorporate an apple theme through your selection of wall paint, wallpaper or through in-house murals. A simple apple border applied between brown and green paint works in a traditional or cottage kitchen. A large green apple sketched on the wall of a contemporary kitchen is high style for a hip homeowner. Red, cartoon-looking apples on wallpaper make a complementary accent wall in a retro, kid-friendly space.

Artwork and Wall Decor

• Make your walls stand out with your apple decoration concept in landscape photography or traditional oil on canvas or even through simple DIY crafting projects. Frame images of apple pickers, apples in season and apple trees for a traditional kitchen; brown wooden frames are an ideal complement to these colorful images. Oil on canvas profiles of a single red or green apple or even apple slices are an ideal complement to a modern space. The budget-conscious and retro renovator can cover a piece of wooden board in fabric with an apple print and add it to the wall as a personalized piece of wall decor.

Accessories

• Accessorize with a plethora of apple decorations, such as a vase embalmed with an apple theme, a cookie jar shaped out of an apple or an array of apple-themed ceramic dishes. Make the accessories fit your personal style: select a traditional red apple with a down-home style printed on the dishes for a classic kitchen, or opt for an an array of modern-looking contemporary green apples for a newer home. Use old school apple advertising, drawn from 1960's commercials from apple juice companies, for kitschy and suitable art work in vintage, retro-inspired spaces.

Windows and Cabinetry

• Weaving your theme through windows and cabinetry is also possible. If you're looking for more of a high-end apple theme, stained glass featuring contemporary-looking apples on a tree is an ideal addition to the space. Cabinetry emblazoned with apples engraved as a border adds a traditional yet country-esque feel to a country kitchen style home with fine finishings.
