In the interior design world, it’s important to think big because in some projects you can’t get all the things you want. Setting the bar high means you will get a great result even if you have to compromise on some items.
So let’s say you have a wonderful kitchen but it still lacks in the WOW factor department? How do you pull it together so that it is a functional, awe-inspiring kitchen that truly is your dream kitchen?
First I must say that for any kitchen to be a dream kitchen you can not have clutter on the countertops or in the kitchen area. If that is how your kitchen is then you really have to declutter before any of these ideas or tips we are talking about today will work.
Starting with a clean slate, here I’ve compiled my list of must-have accessories for a dream kitchen. A few are extravagant, many are just downright practical and all are worth considering as you might want to include in your next kitchen renovation — even if for now it’s only in your dreams.
table or cart
Having your dishes, cooking utensils and other needed items handy make for a smooth and stress-free food preparation experience. It is so frustrating to be in the middle of preparing a meal and you can’t find what you are needing or you are expecting guest at any moment and need to have the dishes available to serve. One of my favorite items in my kitchen is my plate and serving items table/cart.
small Appliances
Having great appliances that work hard for you means you can get your cooking done while working smarter. I am a kitchen-aid girl so much that all my small appliances are Kitchen-Aid brand and they have never let me down. If you are going to skimp on something please do not make it on your small appliances, I learned this the hard way. Now I only buy quality. If I had to pick my one favorite it would be my Kitchen Aid Classic Mixer. I work it hard and it keeps right on keeping on.
dining area
My house is an open floor plan so the dining area is really just a continuation of the kitchen. Having a stunning dining table is a top priority in making the kitchen and dining area fabulous. I am in love with this Schaffer Extendable Dining Table. Isn’t it remarkable? This is on my wish list must-haves to complete my dream kitchen. DREAMING!
final Decor touch
The icing on the cake for any kitchen is the decor items that add that unique and beautiful look to your kitchen. Less is more in this case for the kitchen. Remember we do not want clutter. Adding a little greenery is a must for any room. Faux or real. Next is to select a rug that will age well and be something you love for years to come. Don’t go with bright colors or fad designs. Think classic, traditional with neutral colors such as gray, off whites etc.
