Ceramic Canisters. Ceramic kitchen canisters are a decorating dream as they offer so much more design flexibility. These days, you are no longer stuck with white as the one color available in ceramic pottery. Instead, you can choose from beautiful colored ceramic canisters in deep shade of red, blue, green or just about any other color that you need to coordinate with your kitchen design. If your kitchen already has emphasizes lots of different patterns and details, you'll find a solid colored canister set will blend without fighting with the other design elements.
But if you kitchen suffers from the plain-vanilla disease, you can always spice it up a bit with one of the fun themed canister set. How about a set of rooster canisters where the head serves as lid? Or a village of ceramic house canisters? But if a theme is repeated too many times, it can create a claustrophobic effect in the space. So if you chosen design pattern has already been repeated in the wallpaper and other accessories, you will want to stick with a solid color canister that coordinates with the theme without taking it too far.
Glass Canisters. For a very traditional kitchen theme, you will want to consider a glass canister set. When shopping for kitchen canisters, you'll find many options that mimick the traditional apothecary jars. But unlike the old apothecary jars, the newer versions come with airtight glass lids to keep out moisture and oxygen.
Glass canisters can be either extremely ornate in design, which works well in a Victorian kitchen. Or they can come with sleek clean lines that compliment a very modern kitchen. The most important thing is to coordinate your canister design with the overall style and theme of your kitchen decor.
Stainless Steel Canisters. If your new kitchen is based on an uber modern style, you will definitely want to choose a stainless steel canister set. In a modern kitchen, it's important to keep the visual distractions to a minimum, so you have to trade off a bit of function in favor or visible form. If you must know what is inside that stainless steel canister, choose a style that comes with a glass lid.
By taking a few minutes to consider the style of your kitchen decor, you can choose a set of kitchen canisters that will enhance, rather than fight, your decorating theme. If you get home and find that your new canisters look hideous with your kichen decor, well, just put them away in the pantry and make use of the extra counter space.
