Depending on the design and how it is used, most themes will achieve this goal of warmth and welcoming. The key to using the design is always generating something comforting. That is done by using subtle decorations.
An example of such comfort to the guests is the using the country theme with apples. People often think of apples as soothing things such as the aroma of the fresh baked apple pie. The thought of a fresh apple soothes the person and brings memories of childhood with security and peacefulness.
When using the theme or decorating design, use matching rugs, placemats on the table, knickknacks placed around the room, hand towels, and other kitchen accessories that will carry the theme continuously in the area. Framed pictures and wallpaper or wallpaper borders help to expand the effect of the theme also.
Accent the theme with painted walls in colors to enhance the theme.

Make a statement on the walls by accessorizing the things added to the wall matching the theme of the kitchen. The matching items on the wall will carry the theme and designer package even further.

Since the kitchen is the gathering place take the steps to make it warm and friendly. Use a theme that embraces the guests and visitors with a pleasant atmosphere where they feel comforted and peaceful.
