If you desire to cook more at home this year, these interior design hacks can help you accomplish your goal.
Whether you have a small or bigger space, having an inspiring, functional, well-organized kitchen can make the difference between wanting to order takeout or getting your hands dirty and your creative juice flowing for dinner.
This isn’t just a functional place to store and cook food. We can actually spend a lot of time in our kitchen, especially if you plan on cooking more this year! It can also be a place where people gather while cooking or during parties when prepping. This room deserves to be both functional and beautiful.
Give your kitchen the love and attention it deserves by bringing convenience and elegance together.
The more you cook, the messier your kitchen is going to get. That’s just how it is! When designing your kitchen space and picking materials, select materials that can be easily cleaned.
Having beautiful expensive curtains that can’t be washed won’t do any good if there’s a big tomato stain in the middle of it.
With the right material, you won’t be scared to spill and that will help you to experiment more.
Here are a few areas you want to take into consideration:
The kitchen is often the space that tends to be forgotten when we’re decorating the rest of the house. But as we’ve seen this room deserves some love too. Hang a bold piece of art, place big or small house plants, and display herbs in beautiful pots that you can easily reach while cooking.
Your kitchen doesn’t have to be all white to be elegant. With this interior design hack, simply choose a color palette that inspires you and go bold with an accent wall that will make your space pop.
You want your space to be well-lit, that is non-negotiable. The lighting you’ll need in a kitchen won’t be the same as in a living room or bedroom for example, overhead lighting will bring a brighter light to help you see what you are cutting, prepping, and cooking but you will also want to add ambient lighting to create a cozier mood.
You might complain that you don’t have enough space to make “magic” happen in the kitchen. Before adding any additional countertop space, make sure to declutter as much as possible the ones you currently have. You might be surprised to see how much space you have once everything is properly stored away.
If you’re still missing some room, consider adding a kitchen island or kitchen peninsulas that are great for smaller spaces.
More countertop space allows more room to spread which makes cooking a lot more enjoyable and creative! It also offers the opportunity to cook with other people.
Turn cooking into a pleasurable experience by upgrading your kitchen.
