Few rooms in the home have as big an impact as a beautiful kitchen. It is one of the rooms buyers look at most. It is important to have the right look to make it stand out from the crowd. Remodelling your kitchen can sell your home only if the rest of your home is in good condition. But good staging ideas can give your kitchen the impact it needs for 2022.
Cleanliness and less clutter
To see all your kitchen in its glory it should be sparkling clean and have clutter-free countertops. Take any magnets and artwork off your fridge.
- Fill canisters or glass jars with decorative items depending on the season (e.g., pinecones in the winter, lemons, or apples during the summer/fall)
- If you have glass-front cupboards remove excess glasses or plates – less is best!
- Add a tray with a French press, earthenware mugs and coffee beans in a canister for an instant coffee bar look.
Breakfast bar
People are always in a hurry! Give your breakfast bar a presence.
- The right lighting over the breakfast bar can add some needed light and make it feel like a special place to be.
- Quality barstools can elevate the look. They can be a funky design, shape, or colour.
- Make sure the colour around you is cheerful. You want to enjoy where you sit to have a coffee or have a quick bite to eat.
Make a splash with a new backsplash!
Adding a new backsplash can be a quick and inexpensive way to add more character to your kitchen. Here are some ideas you might want to try:
- Subway tile – timeless and goes with most kitchen styles.
- Modern glass tile can be a stunning option if you keep it neutral.
- Beadboard is good for a more cottage/country option and can work with many kitchen designs.
Lighting
The right lighting in your kitchen can make it look stylish and modern.
- Stick to contemporary or modern fixtures.
- You can also use more rustic or industrial looks if it goes with your home décor.
- Placement of lighting is also important. Natural light is important but if your home is on the darker side make sure that the lighting you install increases some much needed light in this area.
