SEASONED WITH STYLE

Ahh, the kitchen...arguably the most functional space in the house! Even so, it deserves to be fluffed and buffed so that "heart of the home" a peaceful place, somewhere that reduces stress and offers rejuvenation rather than chaos. Read on for our top kitchen styling tips!

First step - as always, clear your canvas. This means emptying your countertops completely and wipe them down, hiding small appliances and tucking away eyesores like paper towel dispensers and compost collectors. 

PRETTIFY FUNCTIONALITY: Time to decant and fancy up all those things you use everyday but that aren’t great to look at, like dish soap, olive oil, utensil holders or coffee containers. This is a great chance to put antique or keepsake vessels to work! Check out our Kitchen Collection for some great solutions!

Beyond that, displaying your fruit and veg in a fetching bowl makes food be part of your decor and can pep up the colour in your kitchen. 

LAYERING: Kitchens may be all about function, but that doesn’t mean they have to fall flat on style. The secret? Layering! Go vertical with layered cutting boards, art, and plants. Or keep it grounded by stacking trays, books, and beautifully styled bottles. Small touches, big impact.  

Also, make items do double duty! For example, trays help define a collection of items AND keep mess contained. Live herbs are both pretty AND good for the soul AND easily accessible for cooking.

CREATE JOY SPARKS: This one is totally up to you! What addition to your kitchen would please you? Maybe a coffee or a wine corner all set up and waiting for you? Some artwork that transports you away from dish washing? A scented candle that reminds you of your favourite place? It's your room, just do it! 

One final perennial tip of ours...

SPACE: Negative space is a design element too.  Leave room for yourself to operate and for your eye to breathe a sigh of relief. Space helps establish visual clarity as well as balance.

The result of all this? A kitchen that feels curated, cozy, and effortlessly put together without sacrificing function. As always, give us a shout if we can help in any way. And happy styling!
