Some of the different types of kitchen home decor include kitchen furniture, such as dinette tables and chairs, or food preparation tables. There are various themes for kitchen home decor, including country kitchen, chef kitchen decor, and fruit themes. Some of the country decor for kitchens may include animal themes. An example might be salt and pepper shakers in a cow or pig design, to reflect farm life. Kitchen interior decorating also involves window treatments if applicable, such as kitchen curtains to match the theme of the decor.

Kitchen home decor may be reflected in novelty pieces or what are typically known as kitchen knick-knacks. Keeping with the example of a country decor, some design elements may include ceramic pieces placed on a wooden kitchen shelf or even a baker's rack. Ceramic country cat cookie jars may be part of the decor. Spoon holders, pot holders, and oven mitts are also part of the kitchen decor.

Besides themes depicting farm life or country themes, kitchen decor may involve decorating in a French bistro theme, or a Victorian theme. Whichever theme is the focus, matching pieces typically will be utilized. Placemats, and kitchen dish towels may have designs depicting a European cafe, for example, if the theme is bistro.

Other types of kitchen decor include wall art. Some pieces may be framed, while others may simple be matted on canvas. Again, the style of the artwork will typically reflect the theme of the decor. Some wall art for the kitchen may be in the form of a three-piece matching set of wall prints.

Art deco designs are another popular choice for kitchen remodeling and decor. Kitchen home decor for a kitchen with an art deco concept may include stylish designs for bistro tables or other furnishings. Toasters, toaster ovens, and stoves typically will have metal trim, rather than enamel. Art deco kitchen decor will reflect the appearance of yesteryear, with nostalgic prints and fabrics as well.

Those who decide to change the appearance of a kitchen may also decide to remodel. As part of the new kitchen decor, new cabinets may be installed. Various types of remodeling projects can change the look of kitchen decor dramatically. Other than kitchen cabinets, light fixtures can be another essential part of kitchen decor, especially when choosing to remodel.

Butcher block tables and cutting boards are another part of kitchen home decor. These are typically constructed with wooden tops and may be placed in the center of a spacious kitchen. Some larger kitchens also incorporate bar stools to use with a block table. Stools may also be used with a corner kitchen nook, convenient for snack time or casual breakfasts.
