4 . ACCESSORISE WITH STYLE
“ The little touches can often have the biggest effect , so if you are time strapped , consider paying attention to the smaller details in your space , such as soft furnishings , artwork or furniture .
“ Accessories are a great way to add a pop of colour to the space without any commitment , so be fun and bold with your choices – you can recycle into another room if you fancy a change next year .
5 . INSTANT ILLUMINATION
“ Wireless innovations make it easier than ever to install and control lighting – even DIY novices .
“ Rearranging existing sources or incorporating additional features will improve the ambience of the space – especially as we move into autumn . Under-cupboard spotlights are a great way to not only set the mood , but illuminate spaces that you may want to draw attention to , such as stand-out worksurfaces or strategically-placed accessories .
“ Strip LEDs are another handy addition to create impact under worktops or shelving , with plinth lighting providing the opportunity to layer illumination in all areas of the kitchen .
6 . THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAIL
“ Swapping out the hardware on kitchen cabinets and sinks can transform your kitchen in moments . These small changes can have a large impact , elevating your kitchen to create a cohesive and well put together scheme .
“ I ’ d always recommend co-ordinating these elements for a consistent look . Whether you opt for brushed brass , stainless steel , matt black or copper – ensure this finish is the thread that ties together any metallics in your kitchen ’ s design scheme .”
