The kitchen. The bane of many mother’s lives, the dumping ground for letters and school bags, the desk for your 9-5 stint, and most definitely the heart of the home.
So, it’s no wonder we all want a kitchen that feels just right, a place that has that special something when we’re whipping up or sipping up that special something too.
Ready for a standout kitchen? Here’s five things to try:
- Add a kitchen island
And no, it doesn’t have to cost thousands (unless you want stone countertops, bespoke storage and top of the range appliances), you can pick up trendy compact designs for as little as £300. To make an extra statement, choose a different colour to your cabinetry.
2. Choose the right splashback
Ready to elevate the vibe of your kitchen? Decorate the background by choosing a splashback that oozes creativity and style to transform the feel of the room. Paint over existing tiles, choose tile stickers or completely re-tile for an instant elevated feel.
3. Lighting is key
From re-configuring the lighting in your kitchen to reflect the different moods and
usage, to changing the fittings or suspending lighting over dining spaces/islands, you can instantly change the vibe with a flick of the switch.
4. Make your worktops work
Switch up your worktops for an instant kitchen revamp. From laminate surfaces/stickers (around £500 for an average kitchen) and wood, to quartz and stone (into £1000s), there’s a way to transform any kitchen at any budget.
5. Add statement style pieces
If you’re ready for an instant Scandi-inspired style injection, add open shelving dressed with cookbooks and glass jars (filled with spices and ingredients) to add pops of colour and even more personality.
