12 Tips For An Instant Kitchen Makeover

#1 UPGRADE WITH BUILT-IN APPLIANCES

The kitchen is all about cleanliness and with New-Age built-in appliances, it is no more a daunting task. Functional and aesthetically inclined, they not only make your work easy but also aid in creating a more organised and maximised working space.

STYLE TIP

“Built-in appliances are space friendly and seamlessly integrated. They provide the perfect contemporary finish to your kitchen. Opting for a built-in refrigerator, rather than the stand alone one, helps in saving at least four inches of kitchen space,” says Natarajan A, New Business Unit Head, Whirlpool India.

#2 ADD A FEATURE LIGHT

Though natural light works well during the day, good illumination in a combination of task and feature lighting can uplift the look of the kitchen.

STYLE TIP

“Adding a feature light in the kitchen can be tricky as picking the wrong light means that it can get ruined with all the oil and smoke normally associated with Indian kitchens. Use one simple LED hanging light in a geometric design in the centre, or three or four beautiful pendants above your breakfast counter, if you have one. Keep the design of the light simple and watch it change your space,” says Shezaan Bhojani, CEO, Design Cafe.

#3 ADD SOME GREENS FOR A FRESH LOOK

Nothing could be more enthralling than sniffing fresh herbs while you’re working in the kitchen. Create a container garden with herbs or if you have a window you can place colourful pots with seasonal plants. If space is a constraint, you can use wall-mounted shelves to display small pots of greens.
