Being one of the most important rooms in the house and also one which surely has the most traffic going through it all day, your kitchen should be functional to say the least.
Everything you need to make the food preparation experience pleasant must be on hand.
If you are on a tight budget, there are the few essentials you will prioritize on obviously.
But being a little tight on cash doesn't mean you can't have an ideal kitchen both aesthetically and functionally.
Here's how.
For your artwork, cut out photographs and pictures of delectable dishes and have them framed in simple wooden frames, then hang them up.
You may also do the same with old special recipes and similarly hang them up.
The mouth-watering photos of prepared dishes should even induce the appetite of your family members further, whenever they walk into the kitchen.
For your accessories, get pieces of mismatched colored-glassware from garage sales and discount stores.
Arranged them in a colorful display, on your window sill, in the direct sunlight through your window and watch how their colors dances off your walls.
Personalize your kitchen and allow your personality to shine through.
If you are a collector, whatever it may be of; neatly display your collection, say of porcelain dolls, on a shelf.
This will always catch the attention of anyone wandering into your kitchen.
Remember to remove any and all items that you don't really use from your kitchen.
This is because once it is decongested and uncluttered; you might realize your kitchen isn't really in need of much of a makeover.
Have everything tidily arranged in their area; groceries on the shelves, vegetables in the pantry etc You do not have to replace your cabinets.
Instead, have them painted over with a few coats to spruce them up.
If you do not have enough storage space, you can simply buy a sideboard or bookshelves from thrift shops and discount store.
You may then sand paper them then paint them over with a neutral tone color such as grey, and use it as a perfect place to store your tinned products.
And don't forget your area rug that will add dimension to your room.
Place it somewhere noticeable, on display for wanderers in your kitchen.
Get a multicolored and patterned area rug to add some color to your kitchen.
Accidents will help and do happen; especially when it comes to porcelain and glass dishes.
You do not have to always replace the entire set when two pieces are broken or missing.
What you can do is go shabby chic by buying different pieces from a discount store, and matching them yourself, the best way you know how.
This is classy and will save you money at the same time.
Remember it is cheaper to paint your walls than do anything else with them.
Get your family or friends to join in and have a painting party right there in your kitchen.
Getting others involved will always strengthen that feeling of belonging whenever they walk into the kitchen thereafter.
