ecorating Your New Home

If you are a keen cook or enjoy entertaining, a kitchen is not just about food preparation, as you probably are already aware. A kitchen needs to be functional, accessible and feature as a main room in the house.

Your lifestyle will be dependant on your needs and requirements in the kitchen. For example, my husband and I have created a kitchen/diner in our 1940′s house with the ultimate goal of achieving more space and light. Previously a galley kitchen with separate dining area, we knocked through the adjoining wall and created one large area to build our needs around. A breakfast bar which also has a double purpose of preparing food on, is a saviour and also looks out onto a wall mounted TV to enjoy whilst eating with the kids or cooking dinner. The dining area now in view has created a cosy family-orientated environment which again serves many purposes including painting and play doh with the kids or dining with friends in the evening. It is without doubt one of the main used rooms in the house.

If you are looking to give your kitchen a make over but in not such a drastic fashion as my project, read on…

As mentioned, re-think your work space and invest in a breakfast bar or work station. If your cupboards lack space for saucepans and large items, a hanging saucepan rack centred correctly can be an eye catching feature. John Lewis (johnlewis.com) stocks a good range.

If you are suffering from water damaged laminated work tops, it may be worth your while in investing in something that will last and completely change the look of your kitchen. Again this will add value to your house, such as granite work tops. Granite is an investment and is available in various natural colours to complement any kitchen. Interested?
