5 Quick Ways to Make Your Kitchen Feel Brand New

If your space is feeling a little stale, you don’t need a full renovation to give it a fresh, new look. A few simple and stylish updates can do the trick. Here are 5 quick upgrades to make your kitchen feel brand new!

Bring In Greenery

Adding plants to your kitchen instantly breathes new life into the space, plus, small indoor plants are super versatile and easy to care for. Consider hanging some plants, placing a few succulents on the benchtop, or investing in a small terrarium. Plants not only add a splash of colour, but they also improve air quality, creating a fresh, welcoming atmosphere. Also, for a functional touch, try growing herbs like basil, mint or rosemary that you can use in your cooking!

Install New Handles and Knobs

Small details make a huge difference when refreshing your kitchen. Upgrading handles and doorknobs is an easy and effective way to transform your kitchen. If you’re into the contemporary look, opt for sleek, minimal finishes like matte black or brushed brass. If you feel like making a statement, consider incorporating funky shapes or adding a unique pop of colour with ceramic handles.

Add a Splashback

If you’re looking for an instant kitchen refresh, with a bit more budget, consider a new splashback. Glass and stone are great options, with their own unique benefits depending on your preferred style. At a functional level, splashbacks protect your walls from grease and grime, but that’s not all they’re good for! They also serve as a stunning focal point that adds character and personality to your space. Plus, there are endless colour and material options, so you can easily match your splashback to your aesthetic.

Add Fresh Tea Towels

A super simple but effective upgrade is replacing your old teatowels. Get rid of those stained and faded old ones and purchase stylish fabrics in on-trend colours that complement your cabinetry and benchtop. Your kitchen will feel instantly renewed!

Organise the Pantry

While we understand that a full pantry spring-clean can be time-consuming, we promise it’s totally worth it! Organise your pantry by transferring dry goods into clear containers, labelling everything and clearing out anything that’s past its prime. Not only will your kitchen look and feel more spacious, but you’ll also save time searching for that elusive can of chickpeas. We love Pinterest for the ultimate pantry-inspo!
