The kitchen is often the heart of a home. It's the place we reconnect with our loved ones in the evenings, and a gathering place of friends and family during dinner parties and holidays. Your kitchen is most likely one of your most well-loved places within your home and the perfect place to create design moments that reflect your personality, while maintaining it's function for daily routines. We've gathered a few ideas to help you create the kitchen of your dreams.
1. Form meets function. The easiest way to ensure a beautifully styled kitchen holds up to daily demands is to select items that marry beautiful design with function. Think high quality wood cutting boards, bowls to hold your fruits and vegetables, trays and canisters for storage, and even small appliances. If it's out in view everyday, make it pretty.
2. Corral your stove top accessories. One of our favorite moments in a kitchen is the stove-side essentials. It is easy to recreate this look in a variety of ways! Simply gather your most used cooking accessories on your favorite tray. Think cooking oils in a pretty oil bottle, salt and pepper mills, and a handmade spoonrest. You can store your wood cooking spoons in a simple utensil holder, but we love the added character a vintage vase brings.
3. Layer in lighting. An unexpected detail we never forget is a countertop lamp. The added ambience the warm light from a beautiful lamp brings your kitchen to luxury status. Be sure to choose a shape and material that complements the finishes of your kitchen, and perhaps brings a little texture and dimension. Style into countertop corners or on shelving as a bookend to your favorite cookbooks.
4. Leaning Artwork. Another unexpected detail that brings maximum charm is a petite piece of framed artwork. We love them leaning against a backsplash with a vintage breadboard, or on a small ledge within a vignette. While this tip may not provide any function, it does bring joy and personality to your space.
5. Stylish Sink Essentials. Make dish duty a delight with stylish sink-side essentials. We love a sleek brush and dish soap combo you're not embarrassed to keep out. Treat your hands and senses to a little luxury with soaps and lotions pretty enough to show off as well. Whether your drying off the dishes, your hands, or even cleaning up a mess, a durable but soft kitchen towel is a must. And you guessed it, bonus it's pretty enough to drape over the sink.
