2. Group pieces into 3 pieces, weave pigtails.
3. Stitch blanks in the shape of a circle, square or oval.

Cozy do-it-yourself textile

To spend a minimum of time and money, you can partially or completely replace kitchen textiles - from curtains to napkins. Kitchen textiles are curtains on windows, bedspreads on upholstered furniture, towels, potholders, tablecloths and even table napkins.

Any woman can sew simple curtains and decorative napkins

To create a cozy kitchen textile, it is worth starting from the style of the interior.

• The Provencal charm of the atmosphere will give a floral print on curtains and decorative pillows. You can combine several variations (size of the picture).
• Transparent tulle and massive, dense curtains in bright colors will give the classic interior rigor and elegance. So that the kitchen does not seem too gloomy and gloomy, window textiles can be shortened (for example, so that it falls 15-20 cm below the window sill).To match the curtains, it is worthwhile to pick up wraps on furniture, towels and even an apron for the hostess of the house. if desired and the availability of creative skills, all details of the textile can be decorated with embroidery.
• Country is the easiest solution for those who decide to create kitchen textiles with their own hands. This style is special in that curtains, curtains, napkins and even potholders create an ideal harmonious composition only when all of the listed parts are sewn using one fabric.
• It is possible to emphasize the modesty of minimalism or the restraint of hi-tech with thin curtains made of translucent fabric, and it is best to abandon the curtains in favor of the blinds. In these styles, plain kitchen towels and potholders will harmoniously fit into the interior, and a tablecloth will be superfluous.
• Multilevel textiles are inherent in the oriental style - you can use 3-4 types of fabrics with different textures, densities and contrasting colors. And the main thing is not to forget that the East is the birthplace of decorative tassels and fringes, so they must definitely decorate curtains, wraps on furniture, serviettes for serving.

Light, simple curtains and a beautiful long tablecloth are suitable for a modern kitchen

Grips, handles and napkins are useful little things for a cozy interior

When deciding to create a textile kitchen decor with your own hands, it is important to remember such a moment as practicality: curtains, wraps on furniture and a tablecloth should not interfere with movement and are easy to clean. But the most important thing in the kitchen is the observance of safety measures, so fabrics for sewing decor should have refractory properties.

Idea number 1. Change the color of the walls

Designers, builders and all those who have already experienced kitchen repairs are unanimously inclined to the idea that it is more profitable, more comfortable and more reliable to paint the walls, rather than pasting them with wallpaper, ceramic tiles or PVC panels. It is not necessary to move furniture and repaint all surfaces, you can limit yourself to one wall or create a picture with a brush, stencil and roller.

In a small kitchen, it is better to leave plain walls of a light shade and add a light unobtrusive ornament

In a fairly spacious room you can highlight the entire wall as a work of art

Idea number 2. Change the kitchen apron

If the walls have not lost their freshness after repair and the owners of the house are quite happy with their appearance, you can transform the kitchen apron, which is also easy to do with your own hands and with a minimum waste of time. If you completely change the tile, then it is costly and long, so it is better to use simpler materials - decoupage cards or stickers. In the first case, after transferring the image, it is necessary to cover the surface with colorless varnish, so that in the future it is easy to clean the apron from grease and dirt. In order not to use a special coating, when the choice fell on the stickers, you need to select special stickers that adhere tightly to the ceramic tile or stone, clean neatly even with heavy dirt.

Stickers can tear off small irregularities and chips

Stickers on the apron revive the kitchen in just a couple of minutes

Idea number 3. Changing the look of furniture

In almost every kitchen, the basis of furniture is a kitchen set of cabinets, cabinets, tables and chairs. Much less often in this part of the house or apartment you can find upholstered furniture - sofas or armchairs. And if in the second case, objects can be covered with bedspreads and wraps, then in the first case, the option of minor alteration is relevant.

The doors of kitchen cabinets can be decorated with a stencil pattern or applied using decoupage technique with napkins

You can change the appearance of kitchen furniture with the following materials:

• self-adhesive film;
• decoupage cards;
• paper and fabric napkins;
• acrylic paints.

Self-adhesive film that easily simulates almost any material allows you to quickly upgrade facades

Self-adhesive film is a simple, but not original version of the decor of cabinets and nightstands; napkins, decoupage canvases and paints look much more interesting. All types of decor are united by one moment - the surface after decoration needs to be opened at least once with colorless varnish.

Idea number 4. Beautifully decorated fridge

“Everything ingenious is simple,” it is this famous expression that should be used when decorating a refrigerator. In most modern kitchens, you can see the simplest method - magnets. This is a good option for those who like to travel, home-lovers can choose another, no less popular type of jewelry - a magnetic board with markers. This option is relevant for families with children. On such a board you can draw funny pictures, write nice wishes to your family or an action plan for the day.

The refrigerator can be painted, pasted with film or painted on the doors of a real masterpiece

If you take into account not only practicality, but also beauty, it is better to transform the refrigerator with drawings. Stencils and acrylic paints in sprays will help in this (they are easier to apply than liquid in a jar). Ideas for composition, colors and possible additional details (for example, rhinestones or embroidered appliqués) can be gleaned from the Internet.

Idea number 5. We are engaged in a table and chairs

The use of rattan, soutache cord or burlap thread is an actual option for kitchens in the Provence or country styles; for other designs, paint is more suitable. Threads and cords can fit the legs of tables and chairs, which will look very unusual and original. Paint is also a good option for a simple restoration of kitchen furniture. It is best to use paints in sprays that evenly coat surfaces and dry quickly.

For the decor of tables and chairs, you can not apply such drastic measures as rattan or painting, just cover them with textiles - a tablecloth and specially sewn wraps. Such a design is not relevant in kitchens decorated in modern, high-tech styles. The main thing is not to forget about the combination of colors: the curtains should be in harmony with the tablecloth and the capes on the chairs.
