6 Great Additions You Can Make To Your Kitchen

Throughout the pandemic, which we are still suffering from mind you, many people have turned toward interior design and home renovation to stave off the lockdown blues. It has become a massive talking point in the media, in Australia particularly. If you are stuck at home enduring a lockdown that seems like it will never end, then you might want to consider making a few renovations to one of the most important rooms in your home – your kitchen. There are so many amazing things you can do with a small budget and a bit of creativity.

In this article, we are going to tell you six of our favourite additions that you can make to your kitchen to make it a more efficient, pleasant, and effective room. If you have any of your suggestions, please leave them down below in the comments section.

Here are six great additions that you can make to your kitchen.

Water Softeners

Hard, slimy water can be a big problem for many homeowners who are not fortunate enough to have good quality tap water. For these homeowners, it is either they spend a fortune on bottled water, or they endure almost undrinkable water. Well, you can buy softener systems for water that are installed in your pipes and make your water drinkable and palatable. These systems are easily installed, do not cost a lot of money, and are a great addition to your kitchen, whether you have hard water or not.

Neon Stripes

Have you ever thought about installing neon strips underneath your cabinets, or even LED lights? Under-cabinet lighting has become very popular in the last few years. If you want under-cabinet lighting quickly without much hassle, then you can attach neon strips, whereas if you want round-the-clock high-quality lighting then you can have LED lights fitted, but that will require an electrical connection. Under-cabinet lighting is a great way for you to accentuate your kitchen cabinets and make your kitchen look modern and trendy – give it a go.

Copper Fittings

Have you ever had the pleasure of walking into a kitchen with copper fittings and faucets? It is, unquestionably, one of the most inspiring things you can ever see in a kitchen. You may think I am exaggerating, but seriously, have you seen how cool they are? While this is not necessarily a beneficial addition to your kitchen in the sense that it has any benefits other than looking cool, why wouldn’t you want copper faucets? They can be a bit expensive, admittedly, but they make up for their cost with durability, aesthetics, antibacterial properties, and lifespan.

Waste Disposal

Over in Europe, waste and trash disposal units are very uncommon. They are a thing most often found in the United States. If you are reading this from Europe, or anywhere where they do not have trash disposal units, why not consider investing in one? Rather than having to dredge food waste out of your sink and clear your drains, a waste disposal unit can break it down and help it to pass through your drains for you. Waste disposal units are a great way to improve efficiency in your kitchen and just generally make your home a more comfortable place.

Cabinet Fridge

If you want to create uniformity in your home, why not invest in a cabinet fridge? A cabinet fridge is a fridge that is installed as if it were a cabinet or storage unit in your kitchen – it is attached to the wall and other cabinets but is just a normal fridge. Cabinet fridges have become incredibly popular over the last few years, especially in new build homes. If you are into modern appliances and want to make some cool changes to your home, then a cabinet fridge is a great place for you to start, though it can be mildly expensive.

Flooring

Changing the flooring in your kitchen can be a fantastic way to not only make it safer but to make it look better. Kitchen floors are notorious for people slipping over and injuring themselves when barefoot. Why not invest in some non-slip flooring or at the very least, a non-slip mat that you can put on the floor. Flooring is something you should think about when you are making any renovations to your home. It should be one of the first things that you start with. Give some thought to it.

Our kitchens are often our favourite rooms. It is important then to make adjustments and changes to them to make them more efficient and generally better. If you want a personal touch, start getting yourself an interior design degree so you can manage your future home renovation projects. We hope you like the suggestions that we have made on this page.
