•Backsplashes: Often regarded as the heart and soul of a Tuscan kitchen, kitchen backsplashes make more than just a splash in eye-catching colors. Green, rust, gold and cream are sure to drive away those Monday morning blues. But just like in a French bistro Tuscan kitchen, tile murals play a pivotal role in bringing out the iconic essence of the space. These murals on tumbled stone tiles pay rich tributes to everything Tuscany- olives, pears, cheese and other mouth-watering treats.
•Kitchen counters: Stone counters- granite, slate, travertine, and the like remind you of the well-placed and well-heeled quality of a Tuscan kitchen’s existence. Your open fealty to them will only get stronger once you see them in action in the kitchen.
•Cabinet doors: If you’re wondering about the reason behind your wife’s million dollar smile, it’s because of the delicious dark tones of cabinets and cupboards. You can choose either red or green, but your envious neighbors will be left with no choice when it comes to displaying their appreciation, in grudging shades of green.
•Furniture: Dining with the family continues to be an emblem of Italian tradition and culture. So investing in a big kitchen table assumes enormous significance. It may seem rather banal to you, but things can be turned around with the use of opulent table linen in luxurious hues. The textures and designs on the table linen seem to have an exotic quotient. Chair cushions in sultry shades add to the drama and intrigue. Also, don’t forget the kitchen island, another mainstay of Tuscan theme kitchen decorating.
•Accessories: Urns, racks, dinnerware and glass jars are often considered to be the perfect adjuncts to a delightful kitchen, but here, these wondrous accents are credited with altering the mood of the place completely. Show off your love for spices and pulses in glass jars. Copper and pewter vessels, pots and pans on metal racks create quite an impression on eye-candy addicts. Metal urns and bowls, potted herbs, ceramic canisters and wrought iron candle holders get the mercury rising in the kitchen with their hottie factor.
