Your kitchen is one of the most essential and used rooms in the home. It’s a place to cook, entertain, and enjoy a cup of coffee on a sunny morning. You won’t regret putting time, money, and energy into making it look better.

There are improvements worth considering that will help make your kitchen space more functional and attractive. You’ll not only enjoy being in the room more, but you’ll be adding value to your home as well. A well planned-out and maintained kitchen will bring you and your family many benefits and homebuyers alike will notice these upgrades when you go to sell your house one day in the future.

Adding A Backsplash

One kitchen improvement worth considering is to add an interesting backsplash so you can bring in more colour and texture. There are many designs to choose from, and you can opt to tile an entire wall or just part of your kitchen or above the sink. If you want your kitchen to truly stand out in a positive way then you may want to install hand painted tiles as a focal point over the stove. It’s an element of surprise that will add character and a unique touch to this space.

Decluttering & Re-organising

It’s also in your best interest to set aside time to declutter your kitchen area and reorganise your belongings. Make sure all the items you own are put away neatly and that you can easily find what you’re looking for when you’re cooking. There are plenty of kitchen organisational tools you can purchase to help you achieve this goal. Also, sort through old Tupperware and only keep what you use and make sure your spices are aligned tidily. The cleaner and more presentable your kitchen is the more beautiful it’s going to look and easier it’ll be to get around in the space.

Installing an Island

Another kitchen improvement worth considering is to install a kitchen island. They’re lovely to have because they act as additional counter and storage space. You can also use it to add an area for casual seating for you and your guests. It’s not only a focal point but can be a separate workstation space for you as you cook and entertain. Once you have an island, you will wonder how you ever lived without one. There are even small kitchen islands on wheels you can use if you’re working with a tiny space.

Painting Old Cupboards

Your kitchen cupboards are another vital aspect of any kitchen. They’re the first element you see when entering a kitchen. Before you rip them out and spend time and money replacing them, consider painting old cupboards an attractive colour of your choice. If you’re unsure about adding more colour, then painting them white is always a safe way to go and will help to make your kitchen look more modern and bright. Replace the hardware to a more contemporary style, and it’ll feel like you’re walking into a brand new kitchen when you’re all done.
