Get some wall art
Some nicely framed artwork on your kitchen wall can add sophistication to the room and make it feel more like a hub than a workspace. We’ve used https://johannarossiart.com/ for some of our artwork, we love her style. But locally based artists in Surrey and Sussex are always encouraged. It’s good to support local.
Pops of colour add interest
We love to use bright colours in areas of what can be a neutral kitchen. It adds a bit of fun and texture to your space. So, whether it’s the oven gloves, a tea towel, a vase or even an appliance, getting all of these in the same colour can really bring out a bit of personality.
Clear surfaces, clear mind
It’s no fun making your homemade ciabatta bread if you have to battle around space taken up by the food-processor and the ice-cream maker. Try to keep those extra appliances to a minimal, if you don’t use it more than twice a month, it belongs in storage.
Have a mail and clutter box
Do you keep unopened letters in a pile on your kitchen side? You’re not the only one. Get yourself a lovely little basket or box dedicated to that “stuff” and move it AWAY from the kitchen. Alternatively, find a lesser used drawer or cupboard and keep it in there.
Dress your windows
All too often kitchen windows can get forgotten. Enhancing the kitchen window is a beautiful way of adding personality and warmth to the kitchen. We often use https://bodeinteriors.co.uk/ for our clients, but there’s plenty of local curtains and blinds companies out there to support.
Go green with indoor plants
Whether this is having a small kitchen herb garden or some beautiful indoor plants, bringing the outside in is a lovely way to get your kitchen looking fresh and happy.
Pet pampering
Making the kitchen a happy space for our cats and dogs is important, too. Having a beautifully made dog or cat bed that matches the kitchen space will make our canine and feline friends feel at home, the same goes for their food bowls. Try this lovely company https://poochperfectbramley.co.uk/ in Bramley for some handmade dog beds.
