Open plan shelving is growing in popularity, due to its functionality and style. By incorporating open shelves into your kitchen, you’ll let air move through the space, and won’t have trouble trying to find things ever again when it’s right in front of your eyes!


4. Add a chalkboard wall

Chalkboard paint is now a thing. By putting it on a section of your kitchen walls, you’ll create a place to write whatever you please, without having to cover your fridge with unattractive notes and lists.


5. Update your cabinets

With the amount of choice in the market these days, changing the doors on your cabinets and drawers can be a very fun task! Whether you want some wooden cabinet doors to add a traditional touch or go super chic to modernize the space, transforming your cabinets is a quick solution for improving the kitchen.
