Brenda Thomspon of HouseLift Design told The Spruce that removing clutter can have an incredible effect on your space.
“Because kitchens are one of the most functional spaces in a home, we like to style counters with items that will actually be used — like cutting boards, cookbooks, wooden spoons, and hand towels — so that we’re not adding unnecessary pieces, just enhancing what would already be there,” she told the outlet.
“Using natural materials like wood and greenery helps to keep the space from feeling cluttered. We love plants and fresh herbs in small pots!”
Better Homes &Gardens agreed that using natural elements and keeping things minimal and uncluttered is a great approach. The outlet also reported that you can make a statement piece out of any collections you have in the kitchen.
Unique cookbooks, cutting boards, wooden spoons and platters can all make for interested displays and conversation pieces, while still earning their spots in the space by being usable cooking tools. This can also be a great way to establish a theme in your kitchen space.
According to HGTV, lighting is a wonderful way to upgrade your kitchen’s look without taking up any of its precious countertop space.
Good lighting can add warmth and style to your space, especially recessed lighting. Accent lighting can help brighten up the darker corners of your space, making working in the kitchen much easier.
Better lighting can also allow you to make the most out of any collections you have added to your counter space, ensuring you have the best looking kitchen around.
