5 Stylish Ways to Transform the Look of Your Kitchen

When you think about your kitchen, you might not think of the word chic going with it. Kitchens are far too often just decorated and designed in a practical way, even though they are one of the busiest rooms in the home, it often gets forgotten about. Kitchens can cost a lot to replace in it’s entirety, but there are a few some things that you can change, without having to replace everything. So if you are looking for some stylish and chic ways to update your kitchen with, look no further.

Flooring

In my opinion, flooring can complete the look of a room. It can make or break it. For a chic and stylish look, it is best to keep it as natural looking as possible. Having flooring or tiles with too much pattern on them can look rather messy, so choose some simple flooring to add a touch of class. Neutral flooring often makes the room look bigger too, as it will blend better with the units, so if this is your thing, look for some natural kitchen floor designs and ideas online. There is a lot on Pinterest to give you some inspiration!

Monochrome

Black and white is always in fashion in the clothing department. So why is that not good enough for the kitchen too? A monochrome kitchen can look so stylish and chic. It gives the room a modern and minimalist look and going for mostly white, gives the room a crisp and clean feel. Then you could accessorize with black tiles or black floating shelves. Black appliances would look ultra suave sat on the countertops too. Don’t think of black and white as being boring; you can still inject your personality in there! Injections of yellow and turquoise can look great with monochrome if you want splashes of color.

Freestanding Furniture

If you have a kitchen that is a bit on the small side, you might not have much space for units or cabinets. So getting some freestanding furniture can make such a difference for your storage. It could be shelving to hold appliances, dishes and other essential.

Lighting

Lighting and the fixtures that you use can add so much to the room. Ultra modern wire pendant lighting looks great for a stylish kitchen. You could even think about getting a modern looking chandelier, for the main light in the room. Having lighting for the countertops is important too. You want to have lighting as you prepare food. It adds more sparkle to the room too.

Windows

You might be limited to what windows there are in your kitchen, but if you can make some changes, it is worth doing. Opening out on one side of the kitchen to large folding window doors can make the room look much bigger. It looks stylish, as well as improving the lighting in the room. How nice to be able just to wander and eat in the garden when you want to? Good luck with your kitchen plans!
