You family and friends probably know it too. Bessie and the rest of the herd may adorn your Christmas tree and almost certainly have pride of place in your kitchen. To make the most of your bovine passions, these tips will help you showcase your collections and share your style without overdoing it.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Include solids and neutral colors.<\/strong>\u00a0Cows are colorful and can appear busy, even if they\u2019re rendered in black and white. The popular meandering black and white pattern you\u2019re probably so fond of can look great in moderation, but to achieve maximum effect, include some neutral elements. Solids in white, ecru, red, black and even yellow can make your cow cookie jar and salt and pepper shaker collections pop without people seeing spots before their eyes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Give the eye somewhere to rest.<\/strong>\u00a0Cow placemats, canister sets, dishes, wall art and rugs all have appeal, but they\u2019ll get lost if you don\u2019t provide a place in your design for the eye to rest. It can be the center of a countertop, a tile floor with a neutral throw rug or simple checked curtains.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change the scale.<\/strong>\u00a0Small checks and tiny prints look beguiling with cow motifs because they play around with scale, playing off those large meandering curves. If you\u2019re using a cow pattern in your area rugs, use a check in your curtains and include a solid tablecloth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bring in other elements.<\/strong>\u00a0Cows bring to mind pastures, barns, cowbells, fences, milk bottles, cowboys and lots of other things too. Make your kitchen a haven for cows, but be sure to include other related elements so things don\u2019t get too monotonous.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make groupings.<\/strong> The human eye finds uneven groups of objects pleasing. Organize your cowtastic collections in groupings of three or five pieces, and allow some space between them. Varying the height of objects in a collection is a good idea too. Another good choice is to anchor collections together by including them on top of something, like a placemat or dedicated shelf, or in front of (or below) something, like a plaque or wall mounted print.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"LtkBlockTop\">\n<h2>Sources for Cow Kitchen Decor<\/h2>\n<p>You probably have plenty of pleasing cow decorations to beautify your space, but there may be a couple you missed. A black and white\u00a0\u201ccow\u201d toaster\u00a0on a red checked placemat will look charming on a countertop, and you can update your backsplash with faux cow tiles that peel-and-stick easy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"LtkBlockTop\">\n<h2>Cows Make Charming Kitchen Decor<\/h2>\n<p>Cow kitchen d\u00e9cor has a lot to offer. It can be fresh, sweet and eye catching. It\u2019s naturally whimsical.
