5 Luxurious Changes to Elevate the Glamorous Ambience of Your Kitchen
Your kitchen is the most practical and functional room in your home, and as such, health, safety and ease of use are all of optimum priority.
However, the kitchen also needs to express your personality and your individual style and generally become a room the entire family and guests alike enjoy.
With this in mind, here are five luxurious changes to elevate the glamorous ambience of your kitchen.
1. Upgrade Key Items of Hardware
The little details make a huge difference, and for your kitchen, when you step back and stand at the door, your eyes will be drawn to the minutiae and particularly the key elements of kitchen hardware.
Door handles, trims on your kitchen cabinets and taps can be far more easily replaced and upgraded than you may think, and instead of the standard silver chrome appearance, inject some brass elements instead.
2. Parquet Click Flooring
Parquet click flooring is an excellent choice for kitchens of any shape or size and conveys an overall ambience of luxury and glamour.
Essentially unparalleled in terms of elegance, parquet click possesses a huge range of advantages, including:
- Incredibly simple maintenance requirements
- Perfect for those who suffer with allergies
- Natural insulating properties
- A timeless and classic design
- Durable and functional (ideal for a busy kitchen)
- A way to enhance the overall value of the property
3. Indoor Greenery
Indoor plants and flowers will clean and freshen the air throughout the kitchen, serve to boost your levels of concentration and focus, and even help to elevate your mood on a winter’s evening.
Obviously, different species of indoor plants thrive in different environments, so be sure to do your research and remember to position your plants in the sunlight on the windowsill or kitchen counter.
Peace lilies, snake plants, English ivy, spider plants and pothos are all ideal plants to keep in the kitchen (as long as you remember to water them regularly, of course!).
4. Utilise Statement Fabrics
When shopping around for a new kitchen table and chairs, people often automatically choose wooden designs as they are, of course, the expected style.
However, with your focus set firmly on a more glamorous finished aesthetic, buck this trend and instead choose seating with fabric coverings in a lush, thick velvet or a geometrically designed set of chairs with quirky and unusual legs.
5. Upgrade the Kitchen Worktops
Should you be fortunate enough to have enough money set aside for your kitchen project that you can afford to make more drastic changes, then it is definitely worth looking into quartz worktops to replace your ordinary ones.
Quartz worktops are slightly more expensive but are one of the toughest natural materials of all and can handle more than twice the weight and pressure that granite can.
Not only are they hard-wearing, but quartz will also last far longer than inferior worktop materials and produce a stunning finished aesthetic. They are incredibly hygienic due to the application of antimicrobial technology to the surface.
