Update the countertop

The countertop of the cabinet and the shelf opposite were updated using white tiles and bright yellow grout. Small-format tiles can be an excellent choice for updating the countertop. They are affordable and available in a wide range of colors and textures. Installing tiles requires minimal skills, and the result will delight you for years to come.

Change the table to a round one

A round table is an excellent choice for small kitchens, as it saves space. In this kitchen, the table was covered with a white tablecloth and complemented with original vintage chairs — making it look cozier and more stylish, creating a warm atmosphere for family dinners and friendly gatherings.

Set up a coffee corner

Along the wall opposite the cabinet, a coffee zone was created. This is not only functional but also stylish. Install a small shelf or cabinet where you can place everything needed for making coffee: a coffee machine, cups, sugar bowl, and other accessories.

Add a rug

A rug can add coziness and warmth to your kitchen. Choose models that are easy to clean and not afraid of humidity. A vibrant or textured rug can draw attention to the work zone or dining area.

Plan the lighting

Proper lighting significantly transforms the interior. It's recommended to use a combination of ceiling lights, spotlights, and decorative lighting. Take a look at how beautifully and uniquely the lamps and disco balls look in the window area. They create a warm, comfortable atmosphere with nostalgic notes.

Add personalized decor

To make your kitchen more personal and stylish, add decorative elements. On the walls of this kitchen, you can see posters with culinary motifs and quotes, and on the table — candles hand-painted. They enhance the interior and bring uniqueness to it.

As you can see, updating your kitchen can be a simple and accessible process. With these tips, you'll be able to give your interior a new, fresh look without major financial investments. Use creativity and enjoy the results!
