Go Green

Put small pots of indoor plants on the edges of the kitchen to give it a fresh and green look. For instance, green herbs on the kitchen window will not only come handy while cooking but will also add to the overall look, making it prettier!

Keep It Smart

Be smart and make use of all possible spaces in the kitchen. For example, instead of cluttering your frying pans and spatulas on the rack or slab, you can go for hooks to hang the utensils and use the slab to store other items.

Accessorize

Empty spaces here and there, like the space above cabinets or beside the refrigerator can be decorated with beautiful accessories. Paintings of fruits and vegetables can add flavour to the kitchen or a simple chalkboard wall can take up space right beside the refrigerator.

Light It Up

For areas in kitchen where you will be cooking, experimenting or reading recipes, consider a ceiling-mountable fixture or track lighting system to bring out an even glow. Try to supplement it with fluorescent or halogen lamps.

Add your favorite hue to the hardest-working room in your home. Give walls a cheery coat of colours like kiwi green or light yellow that add a modern flair to the space and also inspire the rest of the decor.
