For many of us, 2020 will go down in history as the year we became better acquainted with our kitchens (amongst a few other defining moments). More cooking, more at-home meals, maybe even a little bread baking in the mix, if you were feeling ambitious. Our kitchens serve as tiny havens that spark creativity and inspire comfort, which is why spending a little extra time to make sure they look good is an endeavor worth embarking on.
No, we’re not talking about a full kitchen renovation (though that’s also encouraged if it’s in the budget)—rather, a small upgrade or two to give your culinary zone a much-deserved facelift. These improvements can be as simple as swapping out your monotonous sponge for colorful scrubbers. Or grabbing your cooking utensils from the drawer and artfully displaying them inside a ceramic vase. If you’re going the extra mile, you might even consider installing an interesting light fixture or experimenting with a stick-and-peel backsplash. Even the most seemingly subtle details can all come together for a final effect that’ll make whipping up your signature dish a more enriching experience. Ahead, plenty of ideas to get you started.
