With the UK lockdown, many of us are looking for home improvement projects to focus our time and energy into. Kitchens Colwyn Bay are on hand to guide you through a complete kitchen renovation when the lockdown is lifted, but until then - here are some easy ideas to spruce up your kitchen.

Hang Some Art

Adding some art into your kitchen - framed artwork belongs in your kitchen just as much as it belongs in your living room! The styling is completely up to you, but there are some wonderful small businesses selling prints online that would be easy to source during this lockdown. 

Adding a Rug

The simple addition of a rug can work wonders for sprucing up your kitchen, they can cover ugly floors, adds some colour and can make for a much more cushioned surface for your feet instead of cold tiles or slate flooring. 

Paint

You could paint the kitchen cabinets, create an accent wall or a mural on the wall if you’re feeling artistic and adventurous! You can find some brilliant inspiration on Pinterest or Instagram for those wanting to be a bit more adventurous with their kitchen decor and design.

Swap Out Your Stools/Seating

If you are lucky enough to have a kitchen with enough space for a breakfast bar or dining area - you could swap the stools or the seats you use. You can make a big change in the atmosphere of the room simply by changing these, you could even paint them a different colour for added simplicity. 

Colourful Appliances

Think of small appliances as the ‘throw pillows’ of the kitchen - only way more useful! Invest in some colourful, possibly matching kitchen appliances to spruce up the decor. If you are going to be using them regularly, this will make them worth the kitchen worktop real estate that they take up. 

New Shelving

Open shelving in kitchens has risen in popularity in recent years, you can hang some new shelving and use it to proudly display your favorite kitchenware, or even some beautiful mis-matching glass jars with dried ingredients stored in them. 

Add Some Plants

Bringing some plants indoors can help to make us feel more connected to nature; there are lots of shops selling plants online at the moment - real or fake, depending on your maintenance preference. You could even create a window ledge herb garden, and then you can use the grown fresh herbs within your cooking.
