We all know kitchens construct for an expensive re-model - together with sometimes there's only non much incorrect amongst them other than they're non exclusively to our gustation downwardly to the terminal details. When nosotros moved into our solid the kitchen was inward many senses perfect - it was simple, had lots of storage together with decorated inward white together with wood. Not much to complain nigh it really. Except I'd create got done it slightly differently (#husbandofinstagram rolls eyes!!). Do yous experience the same nigh yours? The practiced affair is, I've learned there's plenty nosotros tin produce to update the 'engine room of the house' without spending an arm together with a leg - together with this pretty dark-green together with white kitchen inward Gothenburg, Sweden is a fine example of this (FYI the abode is for sale - therefore rather than steal, yous could ever upsticks together with adopt this real kitchen - tempting, huh?!). Otherwise, hither goes:
1. Throw inward a free-standing island: Sometimes the piece of work surfaces inward a kitchen exactly aren't plenty - together with that's where a stand upward lone kitchen isle comes in. We genuinely added i to our own kitchen and it created a whole other dimension to the amount of surface infinite (incidentally, one-half of it's currently taken upward past times piles of postal service - but still...). This industrial i is a hacked version of the RIMSFORSA from IKEA (they've swapped the bamboo for marble which I intend works genuinely well!).
2. Add an accent colour: if there's an expanse of your kitchen yous tin paint, why non give it a lick of coloring textile inward a pretty, muted note similar this pale green? It volition add together roughly other dimension to the space.
3. Update the door handles: swapping out the door handles for something different, similar these leather pulls is genuinely unproblematic to produce together with tin construct a huge divergence to the overall await together with feel. You tin purchase similar here!).
4: Exchange the tap: Swapping out a tiresome tap for something to a greater extent than inward melody amongst the vogue you're looking for is a corking agency to add together a personal touch. Go sleek together with contemporary or vintage for a budget friendly option. Think nigh balancing the await of the novel textile - for example if yous add together a brass tap, yous mightiness desire to also add together a few brass lights to ensure a to a greater extent than consummate look.
9. Get comfy: If yous create got the infinite a sofa turns the kitchen into a relaxed sociable area.
Oh together with plants. Obviously!
Perhaps you've got a charge of things to add together to this list - if therefore I'd honey to listen your thoughts inward the comment department below.
If you're curious nigh the balance of the abode - yous tin run across the total tour together with snap it upward over at Entrance.
Other kitchens I honey include this calm, neutral space together with a beautiful bluish Swedish household unit of measurement kitchen.
