Collecting Fat Chef Items for Your Kitchen

Those of us who enjoy collecting can be quite creative in what we collect and how we display it. In a Fat Chef themed kitchen, that can be expressed in all sorts of ways.

Types of Collections

There are many items that can be collected in a Fat Chef kitchen. Figurines are usually just for decoration, as are wall art and various kinds of pictures. But, what about collecting functional items? Here are just some of the examples that you could use:

• cookie jars
• canister sets
• salt & pepper shakers
• placemats and table centerpieces
• coffee mugs

Displays for Fat Chef Collections

We know that the display places in a kitchen can be as varied as the types of items to be collected. On the wall above cabinets are favorite places for hangable decor collections. Frankly, any open wall space can work just great.

For those who have room in their kitchen, extra furniture like a curio cabinet or bookshelf can work as well. If you do have some spare try adding several small hanging shelves. Then arrange your collection on them.

Don't forget about tops of appliances. The refrigerator can work great for large items like cookie jars. The back of the stove can house a few salt and pepper sets. Window ledges if you have them can great for many types of Fat Chef kitchen collections.

Remember to feel free to spread your decor around your kitchen, sending the eye to various levels to see your great collections. You and your guests will enjoy that. 

Fat Chef Kitchen Mats and Rugs

My kitchen has several rugs and mats. The most important being the one in front of my sink. Sure, I could use a plain boring one, but I figure why not have one that adds to my fat chef decor theme.

Like all of us, the sink is the most used place in my kitchen. I wash and chop vegetables and fruit. In fact, all of my food preparation is done at, or close, to the sink. Then all the time washing dishes and cleaning up after meals is done at the sink.

With all that time spent standing at the sink, a good kitchen mat or rug is valuable to me. And I want it to be a decorative kitchen mat. One that I like the look of and complements my decor.

A fat chef kitchen theme has plenty of fun choices for those mats and rugs. I found great designs on anti-fatigue mats. You know, those ones with the right kind of cushioning to be easy on my feet and legs. With the amount of standing that I do at the kitchen sink, a good anti-fatigue mat is perfect.

But, I also use fat chef kitchen rugs in other places. Besides at the backdoor, I also have a small wall section in my kitchen that I use for a fat chef decor vignette. I have a shelf on the wall with several fat chef canisters, an apron hung below that and a rug on the floor. The effect really adds to my fat chef kitchen decor.

These simple things are easy ways to create my decor theme. And they don't involve great expense to get the look I want. Easy decor is my way!

Using Black and White Accents for a Fat Chef Kitchen

Ah, the joy of a fat chef kitchen theme. That cute little guy that we all love. Whether you call him a fat chef, a bistro chef, or even a French chef, he still has a natural color scheme built in. Black, white and red are the perfect color combo for him. So let's look at ways you can accent your fat chef kitchen with black and white.

Wall Decor for a Fat Chef Kitchen

My favorite way to add more accent is through my wall decor. Of course, you probably have lots of fat chef things in your kitchen. Things like cookie jars, canister sets, even towels. But these all keep the eye drawn to the counter level. Wall decor works to bring the eye around the room better.


Wall clocks are certainly a good addition for wall decor. They are just one of those things that make sense in a kitchen. Besides being part of your functioning, we all need to know the time, they can also be a great addition to your kitchen decor.

The Simple Effect of Black and White

Black and white has a naturally simple look. Yes, that color combination can be designed to be busy looking, but it doesn't usually. That's why it makes a great way to complement your other fat chef decor items.

A simple addition can be a black and white wall clock. Going with your other fat chef items, this can bring in the look of the chef, while not over doing the effect of the guy all over the place. Let's get real here. Our little fat chef is a busy-looking effect. To bring more simplicity and less clutter to the look of your kitchen, more simple designs work well.

Creating a fat chef kitchen with accents is the easy way to decorate. Make use of the natural color schemes in the chef look to get your kitchen designed just right.

Vignettes for Decorating Style in a Fat Chef Kitchen

What do you do with odd little out of the way places in your fat chef kitchen decor? You create simple vignettes is what you do. And there are great and easy ways to do this.

First, let's look at what makes up a vignette. This term is one of those that interior design professionals like to use. It just means a small grouping of decor items. Making use of an odd number, especially 3, is ideal. You want to have a focal point for your vignette with several other complementary items around it.

For example, I have a counter corner in my kitchen. It's tucked away and not very easily reached. So I can't do something like put a small appliance there. Since it's open, I don't want to use it for storage space either. A vignette is the perfect solution.

I have 2 great fat chef cookie jars. One is much taller and fatter than the other. So the taller one becomes my focal point. I set the other one next to it and added a solid colored red mug to complete the effect. Now, my otherwise useless space is part of my decorating. It also works great to display 2 pieces from my fat chef collection.

You aren't limited to just counter space. Make use of a section of your kitchen wall for a vignette as well. An open shelf in your kitchen can work, too. Maybe it's the top of the refrigerator that you want to redo into a fat chef vignette. Just about any space can be turned into part of your decor scheme. See, I told you it was easy.

There's even more ways to create display space in your kitchen. Take a look and see if there isn't lots of space in your kitchen for fat chef vignettes.
