Most of us will say that kitchen is the heart of the home…
and we couldn’t agree more! As December comes to a close and our schedules are shifting, we’re spending more and more time in our kitchens and prepare for the coming new year.
No matter how big or small a kitchen space is, there are a few things we like to consider when designing and styling them to make sure they are filled with form, function and design we want.
Here are the 3 best tips to improve your kitchen space:
1: Add a Runner
If you’re hesitant to style a rug in your kitchen, we get it! Kitchens are high-traffic areas that typically involve frequent spills and happy accidents. However, the right runner will surely add so much warmth and texture to the kitchen, and using a piece made with a highly durable material like wool can actually simplify clean-up time.


2: Bring Unexpected Texture with your Stools and Chairs
Incorporating eye-catching designer details into your seating pieces is one of the easiest ways to add a layer of thoughtfulness to any kitchen or dining look.
Whether it’s a warm leather wrap or a subtle woven detail, textural seating elements instantly bring more interest and dimension to your space.
3: Incorporate Elevated Details
When it comes to kitchen styling, it’s all about the little details that bring both personality and functionality to your space. We love adding vintage-inspired art, textural cutting boards, and pretty serve-ware to open shelving and countertop surfaces.
One of our favorite ways to add functional beauty to the kitchen is by styling a tray or pedestal next to the stove or sink to keep olive oil, salt, pepper, or other frequently used necessities.
