Designer Approved Tips for Personalising your Kitchen
Save With Storage
Storage is one of the absolute best ways to make your space feel like more! The right, smart storage solutions will keep your kitchen clutter-free while adding to the overall mood of the room. What’s not to love? For a high-impact look, choose the Byron Ladder Bookcase and position it against a wall that you would like to make a feature point in your kitchen. The expansive dimensions and fresh neutral finish will breathe new life into the space as it gives you all the room you need to stash dinnerware, accessories, cookbooks and more.
For a multi-use storage solution, pick a sideboard. This piece is the perfect balance between form and function, offering plenty of space to stash plates, dishes, silverware, decorations and more with the added benefit of a chic, smooth surface to display your keepsakes and accessories. For smaller kitchens, the Byron Medium Sideboard gives you all the storage you need with that timeless, perfectly rustic finish you’re sure to love for countless years to come.
Layer Up Your Lighting
Adding a few touches of lighting can create that inviting sense of cosiness we all look for in the family home. Layer kitchen lighting with ceiling lights, lamps, and subtle reflective surfaces to encourage an open, airy atmosphere. Plus, you can also customise your levels of illumination and switch between bright and beaming, soft-focus and comfortable or low, moody lighting that is ideal for entertaining, dinner parties, and special celebrations.
Add Touches of Texture
Adding a few touches of textures with the use of different fabrications, materials, and finishes is one of the easiest ways to bring any room in your home to life. You’ll also find that you are able to achieve a high-style effect without cluttering up your kitchen. Choose upholstered chairs, throw rugs and pillows or a plush fabric ottoman with extra storage capabilities (more space never hurts!) to define the space and bring that chic yet welcoming touch into your cooking, living, and mealtime moods! For a classic yet characterful effect, turn to the Savannah Breakfast Stool – crafted from woven, white-washed reclaimed materials, a set of these stools is sure to add interest and texture to the space without overwhelming smaller dimensions.
Add Elevation with your Accessories
Accessories are always going to tie your design vision together, and in the kitchen, they are the secret final detail that gives you a beautiful, personalised feel. Add sculptural vases, forever flowers, family photos and striking wall art to instantly define the space. Each detail will add extra warmth and a unique, stylish edge to your home. Items that you can mount onto your walls, like the Byron Long Mirror, will amp up your design without overpowering the dimensions of your room.
