Brighten up your kitchen this summer

Still searching for summer? If you’re still on the hunt for sunshine and summery brights, why not inject a touch of it directly into your kitchen? Come rain or shine, a seasonal kitchen design that’s rich in bright summer colours can do wonders for your mind and home.

Here are our 5 top tips to brighten up your kitchen for summer:

  1. Zip round with a quick tidy up.
  2. Refresh your kitchen’s colour scheme!
  3. Accessorise with some seasonal odds and ends.
  4. Equip your kitchen with summer-ready appliances.
  5. Grow your own herbs in the summer sunshine!

Now you’ve read them though… it would make sense to find out more, right?

  1. De-clutter your kitchen space

If you’re looking to brighten and freshen up your kitchen space, you’ll benefit from doing a good tidy up. Over time, condiments and pots and pans find themselves on worktops as your cupboard space begins to overflow. Taking time out to clear your cupboards and sort out your storage will do you the world of good.

  1. Add a lick of paint to your kitchen

If you’ve got the time, it’s also worth refreshing your kitchen walls with a lick of paint. Opt for summer colours like duck egg blue, lemon, or bright white. Bright, clean colours like this also help to open up a space, making your kitchen feel spacious and taller.

  1. Style your kitchen with seasonal accessories

You can transform your kitchen in no time with a selection of bright, summer accessories. Add a pop of colour with bright oven gloves, new table placemats and colourful tea towels. Flowers make a great addition to the kitchen space too. If it’s time for an appliance update, you could also invest in a coloured kettle and toaster and perhaps some bright pots and pans to match.

  1. Invest in some summer-ready appliances

When we think of summer we tend to think al fresco dining, gatherings with friends and fresh fare. Luckily, there are a number of great kitchen appliances that make summer catering that little bit easier.

Neff’s product line features a great range of summer-ready products like its wine cooler. Neff dishwashers are also ideal for that post-party clean-up. And for those summer canapés, why not make the most of Neff’s warming drawers to keep all your finger food at its optimum temperature.

  1. Keep things fresh and tasty with homegrown herbs

Homegrown herbs in pretty pots are great for adding a touch of summer style to your kitchen. Choose pots to complement the style and theme of your kitchen – for example, copper pots for an industrial style space and shabby-chic iron pots for your cottage-style kitchen.

What’s more, you’ll be able to use all your homegrown herbs in your cooking too. Throw some basil into your summer pasta, mint into your seasonal salads, and pop some thyme on your homemade pizzas.

AWARD-WINNING KITCHENS FOR AN AWARD-WINNING DEVELOPER

As you may know if you’ve visited any of our showrooms in Manchester, Blackburn, Liverpool or Barrowford, we manage more than 250 kitchen projects each year here at Kitchen Design Centre. Many of these kitchens are for individual customers, but we also specialise in providing exceptional designer kitchens to housebuilders and developers. We have a particularly successful longstanding relationship with Candelisa, a prestigious Yorkshire-based property developer that is (like us) known for the peerless quality of its designs.
The company already has an impressive array of awards on its shelves, and its team have recently managed to secure their latest accolade: the Best High Volume New Housing Development at the prestigious LABC Awards!
In case you need a quick refresher, the LABC Awards are the largest business-to-business awards in the UK’s building control sector, aimed at celebrating and rewarding building projects, and the people behind them. The Best High Volume New Housing Development in question was Candelisa’s project at Countyfields, Embsay. Due to our strong relationship with the company (largely through Simon Thomas, the head of our Barrowford showroom), Kitchen Design Centre was chosen to deliver every kitchen at the Embsay development – and like Candelisa’s team, we’re hugely proud of the results.

Latest case study now live incase you missed it.

With a keen eye for design, Nicole knew the look she wanted and approached a local kitchen company. They came up with a range of designs but although there was nothing wrong with them, the couple felt that they would like an alternative design. They were already dealing with a lot of different companies for other rooms in the house and were reluctant to involve another but Anthony suggested they visited Rowan at Kitchen Design Centre Urmston to see if he could improve the design, and they were absolutely blown away with what he came up with.
