4 tips for kitchen accessorising

Tip #1
Remove all clutter from your kitchen before you begin accessorising.

Tip #2
Turn functional items into decor.
Examples:
Purchase colour coordinated soap dispenser bottles to put your dettol hand wash in!
Use your fruit bowl as a decorative piece on your bench.

Tip #3
Pick a statement piece. Keep your kitchen minimal and clean throughout and make room for a big statement piece like a light fitting.

Tip #4
Shelving – open shelving in a kitchen maximises space and makes a strong design statement.
