Home Decorators Collection® Helps HGTV Improve Unsightly, Outdated Kitchens

Homeowners discover how to Spice Up their Kitchens with help from online home accessories retailer, Home Decorators Collection®.

St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) June 18, 2007 -- A brand new series on HGTV called "Spice Up My Kitchen" cooks up a hot new space for homeowners whose kitchens are as stale as two-week old bread. In each episode, homeowners give designers and viewers an up-close look at their ugly, dysfunctional kitchen, and then tell the design team their dream kitchen wish list. Maybe it's a new refrigerator, new flooring or deluxe cabinets and countertops. The experts then present two design-plan options within the same budget from which the homeowners can choose: essentially, two ways to spend the same budget. Once the selection is made, the makeover gets under way, and the formerly heartburn-inducing kitchen is transformed into a deliciously flavorful new space. Many of the home accessories were provided by home décor retailer Home Decorators Collection®.
   
When it comes to kitchen furniture, nothing can beat the popularity of kitchen counter stools, which come in a variety of designs to match today's modern kitchens. For example, the brushed aluminum finish of the Melanie and Sandra Stools from Home Decorators Collection coordinates perfectly with the current trend of stainless steel appliances. The "Spice Up My Kitchen" design team liked these stools so well that they appear in three different episodes this season. Families that wished for a more elegant look in their kitchen selected the intricately carved Ashfield Swivel Counter Stool and the Leather Breakfast Counter Stool. Most stool designs are available in bar height, counter height or chair height, depending upon the homeowners' needs. The option of swivel counter stools provide additional versatility.
   
Window treatments were also quite popular with the designers on the show, particularly classic Roman Shades. Combining the softness of fabric drapes and the practicality of a shade, they are ideal for use in the kitchen where high temperatures may harm other types of window treatments. Roman Shades are available in a flat style or a full, looped style in which each pleat billows out for a luxurious look. A variety of fashionable colors coordinate with the any kitchen color palette.
   
New episodes of "Spice Up My Kitchen" air on Tuesdays at 10:30 p.m. Eastern/9:30 p.m. Central on HGTV.
