How to add style and creativity back into your kitchen

modern-kitchen
Does you kitchen need a facelift? Are you finding cooking a chore rather than a pleasure? Then your surroundings definitely need some attention.

No need to despair though…if you don’t know where to begin, your first step is to get going with vinyl wall stickers.

Wall stickers are fun, creative and imaginative and come in some lovely bright colours and a variety of sizes, to give your kitchen a new lease of life.

De-clutter 

Large, modern kitchens tend to accumulative items which probably don’t get used. If you’re a hoarder, be ruthless with yourself and de-clutter.

Removing unwanted bits and pieces and then cleaning the area, automatically creates a sense of space and freshness.

Replace clutter from a shelf with a few of your favourite cook books, either lying down or supported by colourful bookends.

Use decorative wall art

The beauty of wall stickers for all styles of kitchens  is that they are hugely versatile. Their usage is not confined to walls, and decals can work wonders on cupboard doors, fridges, freezers and any surplus worktop space.

In fact, any surface which is grease free and smooth will accommodate a sticker effectively. They are remarkably easy to apply, leave no mess and can be wiped down to retain their clean, sharp appearance.

Vinyl stickers with a gloss finish, tend to present better on wood or white goods, and a vinyl matt finish on walls which give a more ‘painted on’ effect to the point that it is hard to recognise it as being a sticker at all, but the choice is yours.

If you feel you have made a mistake in where you have located your decal, you can so easily remove it, and replace it elsewhere with no mark or residue left behind.

A chalkboard is a must!

In the kitchen many people resort to cork boards to pin up messages and reminders.

A novel idea is a self-created blackboard, which can easily be made using a piece of hardboard bought at a DIY store and painted with special blackboard paint.

You can buy a metallic paint for extra interest enabling you to attach decorative magnets, or you could apply a decal to one end and use the other end as a shopping list reminder.

There are many practical uses for such a board, even if it is simply to keep the kids from under your feet while you are cooking.

AS SEEN ON GEORGE CLARKE’S BEAUTIFUL BUILDS: FROM DATED LAYOUT TO DREAM ENTERTAINING SPACE

When Katherine and Andrew purchased their property, they always knew a full renovation would follow.

With both the outdated kitchen and untouched garden requiring significant transformation, the project soon became part of Channel 4’s George Clarke’s Beautiful Builds – it was an opportunity they felt perfectly aligned with their vision for the property.

While searching for a local kitchen specialist, Kitchen Design Centre immediately stood out thanks to its long-standing reputation, glowing customer reviews and welcoming showroom experience.

The brief focused on creating a sleek, contemporary kitchen that would feel open, social and highly functional, while complementing the wider architectural renovation of the home.

The finished design delivers a beautifully balanced space that combines clean lines with luxurious detailing.
One of the standout features is the striking worktop design. The waterfall edge peninsula creates a bold focal point within the room, while the continuation of the material across the side panels introduces a seamless, premium aesthetic.

Functionality was equally important throughout the design process, with carefully considered storage solutions and high-quality appliances helping to simplify everyday living. Among Katherine and Andrew’s favourite additions is the Neff oven, praised for both its versatility and pyrolytic self-cleaning function.
The completed result is a sophisticated contemporary space that completely transforms how the home looks, feels, and functions, perfectly reflecting Katherine and Andrew’s original vision from the moment they moved in.
