Five Touches That Can Change The Kitchen's Entire Look

The seasons are changing and, with them, a lot of people are looking to transform spaces in the home. The kitchen is often one of the spots first considered, since it’s a space that the whole household uses and we spend so much time in there, preparing food, eating, washing up, and the like. However, you don’t need a complete restyle to transform the look of your kitchen. Here are a few changes that can switch up its aesthetic alone.






A dash of color makes a big difference



You don’t need to go replacing anything if you’re happy with how everything works in the kitchen and you just want an aesthetic change. Sites like dulux.com.au offer a range of specific tips and colors of paint that work best for the cabinetry and the backsplash if a dash of color is all you need to rejuvenate your kitchen and breathe some new life into it.


Watch where you work



One of the biggest contributing factors to the aesthetic of a kitchen is the worktop. There is all manner of worktops you can take a closer look at, including wood, laminate, granite, stone, and much more. Each of them offers some functionality, too, but you should make sure you at least choose one that is easy to clean and not likely to stain easily, due to how much mess can be made in a kitchen.


Floor it



Kitchens tend to have a lot of floor space since most of them, at least those without an island, keep the furnishings and fixtures to the walls. As such, investing in a new floor, such as epoxy concrete from brackdesigns.com.au can completely change the look, offering a much more modern and minimalist look. Floors bring the added benefits of offering practical advantages, as well, such as how epoxy concrete is much more resilient and easier to clean than most floors.


Offer a little more space



There are many reasons to invest in a kitchen remodel, but one that can completely change the look and feel of the space is rearranging the workspaces. For instance, reducing the worktop and cabinetry to instead create an island can make a kitchen feel a lot more spacious and lighter, and can also help deal with the issue of clutter.


Light it up



Instead of changing what’s there or moving things around, you can also make a few additions that can help you change the look of the kitchen. Changing the lighting can work by either opening up the windows to more natural light with window treatments or by looking at accent lighting options from teams like beaconlighting.com.au. One popular method is to add recessed lighting under cabinets to help brighten up the task areas in the kitchen, for instance.


Any one of the changes above can offer a marked transformation for the kitchen. However, if you can combine one or two, then you can completely change how the room feels, as well. Consider your budget and which options best fit into it.

    I made sure our kitchen has good lighting and is very well ventilated. I also have lots of shelving to keep things organized and tidy looking. I would like to have new flooring though. We'll see if we have the budget for it.
