Here’s a fun project - create a kitchen that is not only functional but also stylish and inviting! Over time, the kitchen has evolved beyond its traditional role and has become a focal point for social gatherings and culinary creativity. 

1. Choosing a Colour Scheme

One of the first steps in styling your kitchen is selecting a colour scheme, which sets the tone for the room. Soft, neutral colours like beige, grey, and white are classic and portray space and cleanliness. For a bit more energy, consider adding vibrant hues through accessories or a feature wall, or hang a lively colourful apron like this Chihuahua apron from Sterck & Co.

2. Incorporating Kitchen Textiles

Textiles can add texture to your kitchen like a set of stylish oven mitts. Or to infuse a sense of British charm into your kitchen decor, Sterck offers a fantastic Union Jack kitchen range including this popular Union Jack Apron

Coordinating items such as napkins and tea towels can pull the look together, making your kitchen appear thoughtfully curated rather than haphazardly put together.

3. Adding Decorative Elements

Consider hanging art pieces that complement the theme of your kitchen or displaying unique cookware that doubles as decor. For instance, a beautiful set of pots hanging from a ceiling rack can serve as a practical storage solution but also enhance the aesthetic appeal of your space. Or a classic hub cover, while serving as a practical solution to protect circular hob lids, also serves a decorative purpose in your kitchen. 

4. The Role of Furniture

The choice of furniture in your kitchen can dramatically influence its overall appeal. Opt for pieces that resonate with the style of your home. A farmhouse table, for instance, can lend a rustic charm, complemented by our gingham napkins, it can create a nostalgic theme in your kitchen. 

Personalising your kitchen makes it feel truly yours. These personal touches make the space more inviting and reflect your personality and style. Create a kitchen that you love and feel comfortable in by shopping for kitchen essentials at Sterck & Co.
