We all spend enough time in our kitchens – we may as well make it the coolest space in our homes.

Here are five ways to modernise your cooking space:

 

 

 

 

1. Add a statement light
We are seriously obsessed with the copper trend right now, but if that is not your vibe then go for a farmhouse inspired hanging pendant lamp. See a selection of hanging lights, like the ones below, at Weylandts.

2. Update your taps
Gone are the days where an ugly tap has to ruin your entire kitchen space, there are so many great taps out there. All you need to do is call in your plumber to swap your tap – and your entire kitchen will look brand spanking new. Visit Antique Bathrooms for a wide range of beautiful taps.

3. Get a coffee machine!
We kid you not, a coffee machine is a sure way to add a cool factor to your kitchen and trust us, everyone will want to hang out in your kitchen if there is delicious coffee on tap.

4. Add some colour to your space
Adding some colour to your space is super easy. If your budget is limited think about small items that will have a high impact, such as a fun, bright tea towel or a vase that is any colour other than clear glass. If you have a bit more to spend, think about big-ticket items, such as these bright stools, which make a serious statement in your home.  (These stools are from Superbalist.)

5. Up your storage ante
Coffee, tea, sugar etc can look so boring and very ’80s. Have fun with your storage tins… this season Mr Price has some seriously playful tins – and we love them. How fantastic is this laundry-powder tin?
