You can upgrade your kitchen in time for Christmas!

If you’re playing host for this year’s festivities, you’ll want to get your house in order (quite literally) ahead of the big day.

The good news is that you haven’t left it too late to make some significant changes to the heart of your home before December 25. And what better time to use your upgraded space and show it off to friends and family than the holiday season?

Here are some tips to give you some inspiration:

Upgrade the sinks and taps

This doesn’t involve a full kitchen remodel, but distinctive fittings like taps and handles can transform the look of your kitchen more than you may have realised. Seamlessly integrate sinks for an elegant look – why not go for an eye-catching natural stone such as marble?

Wonderful worktops

One cunning idea is to combine say marble worktops with affordable cabinets to maximise your budget. Remember, a kitchen’s whole look can revolve around a worktop or island. Again, marble is the standout stone here.

Don’t forget the floor

The floor of your kitchen can sometimes be overlooked, yet it’s an important area nonetheless. Change it with an industrial or contemporary geometric pattern and create the look you want.

Invest in the right storage

Make sure your budget includes the right drawers and cupboards which maintain your room’s clean lines. This helps keep countertops clutter-free.

Have a standout feature

Think statement appliances in bold colours, from orange to matt aubergine. Equally, luxury extractor fans will help create a unique look.

Contrast colours

Contrasting shades will highlight a breakfast bar or workstation. Or you could have wall units and base cabinets in varying hues. If you paint inside your units, you also get a flash of colour as the doors open. LEDs or overhead spotlights can also set off a colour scheme’s intensity to perfection.

Get in touch

If you’re happy with everything in your kitchen, then that’s great. But even if you’re not upgrading anything, you still have time to make sure your natural stone countertops are in peak condition before the invading hordes of seasonal guests arrive.
