Let’s face it, we can’t all have the brand new, gourmet kitchens we see on our favorite DIY shows. Perhaps you are saving up for a major kitchen remodel, or maybe you are just looking for small changes and a few interior design ideas you can use to take your kitchen from depressing and drab to being your favorite room again.
Here are 5 things you can do to cozy up your kitchen and transform it into the warm and inviting space you’re looking to create in your Central, CT home.
- Give Your Walls Some Love- Do you have dated wallpaper or an ugly wall paint job that drags you down every time you flip on your kitchen lights? Take a weekend and bring some joy into your life by changing your wall paint to fit your personal style. Remove the ugly wallpaper and cover your walls with a fresh new paint color that you will love. (For detailed tips from our professional painters on wallpaper removal, check out this post.)
- Au Natural- Nothing gives cheery brightness to your kitchen like bringing in natural, outside elements. Wood grain countertops, a natural paint job, greenhouse plants, fresh fruit and herbs all breathe life into your kitchen and give it a warmth that will keep you and your family returning to the coziness of your kitchen time and time again.
- Clear Your Counters- Clutter breeds chaos, but clean countertops bring a peaceful feeling to your kitchen. Ask yourself which items, such as spice racks or small appliances, need to be on your counter for everyday use and which can be stored in your cabinets to create a cleaner, more open feeling.
- Textiles That Speak To You- Window treatments make a surprising impact on a room and choosing fabrics and styles that blend seamlessly into your kitchen will help create a more inviting atmosphere. Pick colors and patterns that play nicely with the paint colors and cabinets you’re working with. You will be surprised what a little fabric can do to help you love your kitchen.
- Your Kitchen is YOUR Kitchen- At the end of the day, creating a kitchen that you will love is all about figuring out what interior design ideas will bring you personal joy. Add your favorite paint colors, cookware and artwork to your space—make it your own. Adding personal elements will draw you into your kitchen as you feel your energy reflected in the space.
The kitchen is the heart of the home, and we can help ensure that it continues beating.
