It’s Time To Refresh Your Cabinets 

As cabinets take up a lot of real estate in every kitchen space, it’s no surprise that the style, colour and finish you choose can make a huge difference to the overall atmosphere within the room.

If you’re happy with the overall layout and space offered by your existing cabinets, simply replacing your kitchen cupboard doors is a straightforward and cost-effective way to give your space an entirely new look and feel.

Panelled kitchen cupboard doors such as the Bella Richmond and the Bella Aldridge will instantly add character to your space in any colour or finish. However, more contemporary options such as the Valore slab door in a beautiful oak finish can also bring warmth and texture to your kitchen, so it’s all about finding the right style to suit your home.

Does Your Colour Palette Need Refining? 

The right colour palette can breathe life and warmth into a kitchen instantly so if your space is feeling cold or harsh, auditing the colours that you’ve used is a great place to start. Too much of a single colour can create a sense of disharmony, as can trying to mix colours that just don’t work together.

While warm tones like oranges, yellows and pinks layer beautifully and can effortlessly increase the cosiness of your kitchen, mixing both cool and warm tones can also be an ideal way to establish a sense of equilibrium.

Pro Tip: You can also bring warmth to your kitchen through small flashes of colour within an otherwise very neutral space, so don’t feel the need to drench your space in bold tones if that’s just not your style.

You Need More Storage 

Clutter and disorganisation can instantly undo all the hard work you’ve put into designing a space that looks beautiful and offers a place to unwind. If you always struggle to find certain ingredients or you simply feel overwhelmed every time you walk into your kitchen, you definitely need more storage.

The great news is that there are so many storage options that can be incorporated into a kitchen space, including extra cabinets, open shelving, and ottomans with concealed storage.

Your Space Needs More Personality

Whether you enjoy minimalism, maximalism or something in between, incorporating artwork, ornaments and decorative items that reflect your personality is one of the simplest ways to create a space that feels like it belongs to you.

We’re certainly not saying that you need to fill every inch of wall space or that every surface needs to be adorned with personal items, but incorporating some personal touches will make your room feel more characterful, which will increase the overall sense of warmth and comfort every time you step inside.

Ambient Lighting Can Make a Huge Difference 

While overhead and bright task lighting is important for safe food preparation, incorporating ambient lighting as well is a straightforward and effective way to make your room feel cosier. There are a range of options to explore, including statement floor lamps, chic table lamps, intricate chandeliers, and even warm LED lights beneath your kitchen cupboard doors. 

Pro Tip: Tailor your lighting solutions to the overall style of your space. Choose chic lamps with material shades for a country cottage style kitchen and brushed metal lights for a cool, loft-style space.
