Russian Kitchen Magnets – Brighten Up your Kitchen with Vivid Colors
Russian kitchen magnets are brightly colored art pieces, created in typical Russian artistic style that enhance the décor of the kitchen and infuse a degree of brightness to it. These magnets are typically wooden figures that are hand painted in intricate detail in bright colors. The Russian Store offers a variety of Russian kitchen magnets created exclusively by individual artists in Russia. The process is not easy as it involves detailing features on small size figures such as nesting dolls or cats or other contemporary designs.
To create the kitchen magnets, the hand painted wooden figures are fitted with a powerful and strong magnet at the back, due to which they hold on to any metal surface. Naturally, one of the most common places in the kitchen, where you can ‘stick’ the magnet would be the refrigerator. The Russian Store offers a range of kitchen magnets that are available in typical Russian design motifs. A common kitchen magnet is in the shape of the Matryoshka or nesting doll. The nesting doll is unique Russian creation and never ceases to amaze children and adults alike with its ‘doll-in-doll’ characteristic.
Besides the Matryoshka shape, we also have several contemporary designs including a ladybug shape design that is extremely striking with its bright red color, accentuated by the black spots. Several of these kitchen magnets are available in sets of two or even three. A popular animal amongst Russians that figures significantly amongst the kitchen magnets is the cat. Keeping with the latest and popular trends, there is a ‘slimmer’ version of the Matryoshka doll magnet. Typically, the Matryoshka dolls represent the typical Russian peasant woman who works hard and eats well, not caring much about her waist, which is generally quite rounded.
In any household, the kitchen represents the nerve centre of operations, as it were. Families that spend more time in the kitchen cooking food together and eating together tend to remain together. Having these brightly colored kitchen magnets can further enhance the quality of time spent in the kitchen. Apart from a decorational purpose, you can use these magnets in a variety of creative ways. Use them to pin important ‘to do’ things for the day or how about a list of “Do not Eat” items if you want to lose those 10 pounds before your holiday. Encourage your little ones to create their own stories around the magnets on the refrigerator. It enhances their creativity and keeps them busy, while you wrap up your tasks in peace.
