You can also press some flowers and frame them for a natural addition, which will fit well in any contemporary, vintage or farmhouse style kitchen.

Grab some flowers or leaves from your garden to be the subject of your art, heavy books to act as a press, textured paper to go behind the framed flowers and a frame itself.

Our tip: Press your flowers for 2-3 days.
