Kitchen Soffits. How are yours decorated?
 

Hubs has taken down all my stuff again and I have washed it all and I want a new look.

Anyone want to share their kitchen soffit scene?

Less is more. And safer! When I see large platters and vases up top, I think it looks nice but dangerous to keep clean. I personally don't like artificial plants dangling down. I have considered adding above cabinet lighting.

we're in Gilchrist, our home built in 2014. We don't like clutter - but simple, tasteful, different things. I like my flying horse the best...

I have sculptures collected from my two favorite Michigan artists. Four are whimsical birds done in ceramic with metal plumes, legs, and goofy shoes, and then in metal are a bicyclist and a dog. Guess which kind of dog. It's all rather whimsical and probably wouldn't go well in your more formal home, Gracie. I had pictures but they're on an old computer. Or phone. Or somewhere...

I went to home goods, bought a bunch of things I liked. Put them up and only had to return one urn. Used some greens but like the other poster, I don't like flowing vines. I also have puck lights that operate by remote. Looks beautiful at night.

Also check out YouTube for tutorials from professional decorators.

Dust!

storing more stuff with less dust

how do you get up there & clean, do you use a ladder? i have to climb on top of the counters to get a decent clean job. most of the time it's ok except when arthritis is acting up.

Who installed your lights?

Dust. I like it and you do not have to wash it. Make believe it's a new decorating idea LOL who knows it might catch on. Call them dust bunnies

We have trays that we collected from our travels, many are more like works of art. I think decorating with meaningful items when you can is always better than chotskies.

I was told by a decorator less is best which I prefer as well. The older I get the simpler I like things. 3 items of interest to you was her suggestion.

Regardless of how much space you have? I think you should use whatever makes you happy. I want my house to look like a home not a page from a magazine.

For what it's worth, I did a lot of Googling before I decided what to do. I found a lot of cool ideas on the Houzz website. Here's what I ended up with.
