“If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen” as the saying goes and after the recent heatwave, a kitchen has to work on a practical level but what about how your kitchen makes you feel?
Brewers Decorator Centres have put together five ways you can refresh your kitchen to create a standout space and there’s some savings to be had here too!
Kitchen paint colours
There are so many things to consider when creating a kitchen – worktops, cabinets, splashbacks, flooring…so getting the colour scheme right is crucial. According to colour psychology, red is the best colour for a kitchen as it stimulates appetites.
Earthy browns are also a great choice as it resembles the very place our food comes from.
Yellows and whites are ideal if you start your morning in the kitchen and want to feel energised for the day.
Colour psychology aside, darker kitchens have soared in popularity in recent years, with earthy greens remaining a firm favourite across the board.
Painting kitchen cupboards
This is a budget friendly way to update your kitchen without breaking the bank. And, if you like to keep an eye out for a bargain, why not look at painting an ex-display or factory kitchen?
Whether you want to use the same colour on every unit for a coherent scheme or mix things up with a quirky colour palette to introduce some fun into your kitchen, painting your cupboards can be transformative.
It is important to choose a finish which will stand the test of time in a busy kitchen.
Update kitchen worktops or flooring with woodcare
Refreshing wooden worktops and flooring is a great way to update the look of a kitchen. Osmo Polyx Hardwax Oil can help to make the job even easier. Combining natural oils and waxes to form a hardwearing and durable finish, it is ideal for wooden flooring and furniture.
The hardwax oil provides a warm and rich effect that brings out the true beauty of all woods by emphasising the grain and promoting its natural characteristics.
It is microporous, durable and will not crack, flake or peel.
Resistant to common household spillages, it’s ideal for kitchen worktops and wooden floors.
Kitchen wallpapers
While wallpaper may not be the first thing that springs to mind in a kitchen, wallpaper does now come in a variety of different colours, patterns and textures and can be a great way to update the space.
For a coherent look, select a wallpaper which complements the existing kitchen scheme…don’t forget you can order your free wallpaper samples in your local Brewers store today.
Kitchen styling
Adding in those finishing touches such as shelves are a great way of adding extra storage to the kitchen whilst adding a decorative element to the space.
And once you’ve found some you like, it’s time to decorate them.
If you have a pantry or utility area, these are some fun spaces to design too.
Whether you choose a bold wallpaper or colour or decide to create a little slice of calm in a busy household, create an unexpected space in your home that celebrates your individuality.
