Simple Ways To Add A Touch Of Luxury To Your Kitchen
Renowned TV personality and celebrity chef Rachael Ray said that “good food and a warm kitchen is what makes a house a home.” There is no denying that the kitchen is the heart of every American home. It is, after all, not only the place where delicious meals are lovingly prepared, but also where many families get together to unwind after a long and busy day. Even if you love spending time in your kitchen, however, you may be dreaming of it being slightly more luxurious than it currently is. While a big budget may allow you to do a large-scale revamp, not everyone is that fortunate. Thankfully, there are a few simple (and budget-friendly) things you can do to add a hint of opulence to the heart of your home.
Give your backsplash a makeover
The days of plain, boring backsplashes are, thankfully, long gone. Modern-day luxury kitchens often sport a brightly-colored or textured backsplash that serves as a focal point in the room. Although an elaborate backsplash installation can set you back a good few hundred dollars, you don’t have to break the bank to make a bold statement. Eye-catching tiles with a lush finish don’t cost a fortune, and if you possess basic DIY skills, you can easily install them yourself. Depending on how much you end up loving your new luxury backsplash, you can use the same effect elsewhere in your kitchen – for example, on your island.
Add hints of greenery
When it comes to luxury interior design, especially in the kitchen, it is often the little things that count. These ‘little things’ can be in the form of beautiful elements of nature that can lend a subtle touch of lavishness to a kitchen. While an indoor herb garden is the perfect addition to any kitchen, there are other ways to incorporate greenery into the most popular room in the house too. Easy-to-care-for indoor plants that do well with humidity are a great choice, as are bunches of cut flowers in shimmery vases. As long as you water your plants regularly and ensure that they are pest-free, they can continue to add luxury to your kitchen for a considerable amount of time.
Create striking displays
You can accomplish great things by creating a few classy displays in your kitchen. Open shelves are a wonderful way to show off your creativity. You can fill them with a range of lavish items, such as unusual glass canisters, antique or autographed cookbooks, vintage candle holders, or even your best dinner service. Don’t feel obligated to display everything in uniform rows, but instead experiment with items grouped in odd numbers or a series of small clusters. You don’t even have to have shelves to create mesmerizing displays. You can bundle groups of fancy canisters together on your counters, or hang your beloved copper cookware from hooks on your wall to create a luxurious yet rustic atmosphere in the kitchen.
It’s not difficult to add small luxury touches to your kitchen. As long as you possess even just a hint of creativity you will be able to transform your kitchen into a vision of opulence.
