It’s true! Creating a homey look with country-inspired kitchen curtains really helps give your kitchen that great “country kitchen feel.” And it can be done much cheaper than you think! Read on for some helpful tips on how to decorate your home this way.

First, what is a country kitchen and why is it so popular these days? Also, what can I do to make this happen in my house? How much will it cost? We will answer these questions and more.

Think of home-cooked meals simmering in the hearth, burning with a warm, glowing fire. Perhaps there are gatherings of friends and family where guests enjoy the warmth of your hospitality in your kitchen. Sitting at his kitchen table and gazing at the matching gingham curtains hanging from the kitchen windows, and taking in the allure of the ambience of the moment.

To achieve that effect, here are some cheap ideas that are very easy and quick to create:

• Gingham or plaid curtains. Be sure to buy washable curtains, as they will get dirty fast.
• Old style vintage curtain rods. Find a great variety on eBay or at local thrift stores.
• Some quaint teapots, vintage rolling pins or other vintage kitchen utensils, food containers like an old box that once held Sunkist oranges
• Some fabrics like lace work very well with this theme. Combining lace panels with your new country-inspired curtains adds a fresh touch of charm to that homey feeling.
• Kitchen Café Shades – Shades that typically have a short valance at the top and a much longer privacy valance on the bottom half. This allows much-needed light into the kitchen while also helping to provide privacy – very important as you’re probably not really in the country! You don’t want to sacrifice privacy for aesthetics!
• Themes like flowers (especially miniature roses for that French country kitchen style) and herbs, farm animals like roosters, cows, are naturals for this theme.

No, you do not need to be on the farm to enjoy your country kitchen; It doesn’t have to be an expensive or arduous task. You can comfortably enjoy your urban oasis and still have fun. Create the home feeling you’ve always wanted now.
