Change dated lighting
If your up -to -date kitchen room contains attached lights or chandeliers, it can be a tellty sign that it is time to update the lighting because these types can date with your space.
“Simply the lighting coast of your kitchen can lose for years in your kitchen and is minimally invasive,” explains Borcherding.
Simone suggests a statement supporter over the island or under-cabinet lighting in order to achieve better visibility of tasks so that the room feels brighter, modern and functional.
Choose for mere curtains
According to Rick Berres, the owner of Honey doses, one of the simplest ways to highlight your kitchen by choosing sheer, light curtains to contain natural light filters. This helps to set a bright ambience that feels warm and airy.
Organize storage items
An overcrowded and messy cuisine can overwhelm a room and make a bad impression on the guests when they come by. To optimize your articles, Simone recommends organizing her dried goods in clear glasses or canisters.
This will help create a cleaner, deliberate aesthetics for your counter or open shelves, explains Simone.
“Everyday objects such as pasta, rice or flour suddenly don't look styled and not overcrowded, and you will always know exactly what you have at hand,” says Simone.
