During this time of year there are many, many different things calling out for your attention. Work, shopping, preparations, travel, you name it… In addition, you more than likely are scrutinizing your home too; after all, guests are coming and there is a certain element of fun in going for the “wow factor” when it comes to your decorations and design.
How does your kitchen look? This is the central hub of holiday life after all. With this in mind, we’ve put together a few ideas for adding some extra style to your kitchen before the doorbell starts to ring.
A Few Smaller Ideas Make a Big Difference
- Artwork - No need for a Picasso, but any piece of artwork that adds a little extra life and color to your walls is a bonus. And, as a rule of thumb, try to choose a piece of art that could be at home anywhere in the house and isn’t kitchen-specific (for example, sliced bread on a cutting board). Avoid stereotypical decorations.
- Rug - While it’s true that a rug in a kitchen can be a dangerous idea (especially if you like to let food fly while you cook), they add an awesome stylistic element. Try an indoor/outdoor rug; they’re often stain-resistant and easy to clean.
- Cabinet Painting - Depending on the scope of your specific project, cabinet painting by a professional painting company often does not take long but can transform your kitchen. And, it can be done at a fraction of the price of new, custom cabinetry!
- Accent Wall - Because so much kitchen wall space is taken up by cabinets, counters, and appliances, painting even one accent wall can make a big difference.
