It is not necessary to have a lot of knowledge in design to decorate kitchens with good taste. With ingenuity and willingness to do it, we can make this vital space of the house, look nice and cozy, and above all, practical. We will show you some easy and inexpensive tips.

As the heart of the home, it is important that your kitchen looks good. A stylish, updated kitchen will make everyone in the family feel great.

Separate Areas

The kitchen, along with the bathroom, is one of the places that get dirty the most on a daily basis, so it is advisable to have them well organized and everything stored in its place. One of the ways to have the kitchen always well organized, is to divide it into two spaces: cold zone and hot zone.

This makes our kitchen always tidy, because the different things in it will not get mixed up. If, for example, we are going to cook a salad, only the cold zone will get dirty while the hot zone will remain clean. Believe me that if you separate the room well, you will be surprised to see your kitchen cleaner for longer.

Hot Zone

In one of the spaces will be placed the hot things or things that require fire. That is to say, the oven, the microwave, the stove or ceramic hob and everything that is for cooking.

Cold Zone

In the cold zone will be placed dishes, dishwasher, refrigerator, cutters and everything that does not require hot things. Normally, the cold zone is already established by the sink, so where the sink is located will be this zone.

Color

White kitchens never go out of style. White tiles, open shelving and perhaps cabinets with glass doors make a kitchen look more spacious.

Lightning

Lighting is key to making a kitchen comfortable and beautiful, so invest in a spotlight or cleverly placed pendant lighting.

If you have cabinets above the countertop, it might also be worthwhile to place LED lights underneath, and even inside the cabinets to illuminate the space.
