5 Simple Kitchen Styling Ideas
Planning to give your kitchen a new look - without making big changes? Don't let Pinterest confuse you. Stop before you save hundreds of Reels. How about approaching this with a few easy steps? Here are simple kitchen styling ideas that won't need you to make significant shifts!
Simple Kitchen Styling Ideas for a Brand New Look
Indian kitchens are all about colours, sizzling sounds, and fragrances. You cannot treat them entirely like western kitchens, right? But that doesn't mean you cannot get inspired! So here are a few manageable and acceptable changes you can bring to your kitchen. Take a look:
Open Spice Racks
An easy way to give your kitchen a fresh look is by adding a spicy touch. Hang racks with Indian patterns like paisleys and leaves on the walls. And fill them with old-school spice jars with glass elements to display a range of colours and textures for an exotic “Mistress of Spices” feel.
The Wood Finish
Cabinets with a wooden finish are a sure-shot way to add texture - with a vintage farmhouse vibe. But that’s not all! You can also add the exotic touch of wood to the walls and floors of the kitchen. You can choose options like floor stickers and wallpapers - or go for wood-finish tiles!
Minimal Pattern Usage
Throwing some Bagh and paisleys here and some Sanganer and flowers there is tempting. But minimise the use of patterns to prevent a cluttered look. Instead, use Indian motifs in the backsplash, borders, or highlighters. They may also look great on sections of pillars or walls.
Similar Shades
Light colours, especially earthy shades, are ideal for kitchens. So when you pick colours for the walls, accents, cabinets, etc., pick different hues of one colour. Similar shades create a soothing monochromatic charm, but you can certainly throw in splashes of bold but complementary hues.
Creative Wall Storage
While closed cabinets and uncluttered walls are a must, you can still optimise your kitchen storage by using creative, open shelves on walls. Use as much vertical space as possible with floating wall shelves and hooks. Don't forget baskets and rotating shelves for the floors!
Waterproofing Before Planning a Kitchen Styling Project
Waterproofing is one of the major requirements in any kitchen. Yours may be hiding wall dampness, peeling paint, mould patches, and more.
- Roof Waterproofing - If your roof hasn't been waterproofed during the construction phase, pay attention to roof waterproofing during the renovation stage.
- Tile Waterproofing You can choose waterproofing options before setting tiles. You can also opt for tile waterproofing from the outside by applying a top coat.
- Wall Waterproofing Wall dampness is a hidden enemy that can ruin all your styling. So get your walls waterproofed, even with an external coating.
Final Words
It's not enough to change the look of your kitchen. Every renovation project is an opportunity to analyse hidden prblems. Once that's taken care of, kitchen stylish can be as fun as you want. So start small to prevent changing the look and feel of your kitchen from becoming intimidating.
