Kick off Summer by giving your kitchen a new lease of life. By incorporating the following design features, you can create a bright and hospitable environment for the whole family.

1. Kitchen Colours

Introduce Summer Colour Palettes

One of simplest ways to create a Summer inspired kitchen is by utilising some of seasons most recognisable colours. It goes without saying that dark tones, such as black and graphite, should be avoided when trying to brighten up your kitchen. Instead, why not consider bright blues, sunny yellows, and of course sparkling white. Whether you’re going all the way with a complete kitchen renovation or just looking to add a few splashes to your existing design, these colours are perfect for achieving the desired visual.

4. Kitchen Accessories

Accessorise With Kitchen Plants

This is the perfect time of year to introduce flowers to your kitchen. The simple addition of a flower filled vase is all that is required to bring that extra bit of Summer into your home. The most suitable way to display flowers in a kitchen would be to create a stylish centrepiece on an island. However, not everyone has this luxury so pottering 1 or 2 smaller plants around your kitchen can have a similar effect.
