We’d love marble countertops, brass sconces and a French cooking range. But since we don’t foresee an unexpected inheritance befalling us anytime soon, we’ll be using these ten super-easy, super-gorgeous styling tricks (foraged on Instagram) to fancify our kitchens.
10 Truly Easy Ways to Fancy Up Your Kitchen
1. Add Oversize Potted Greens To Your Counters
Fresh flowers in the kitchen are nice and all, but these guys pack major drama and design cred.
2. Create a Spa-Like Moment At the Sink
Style a fancy soap, hand lotion and scented candle to elevate your dishwashing experience.
3. Lean Art On Your Countertops
Bonus: no nails.
4. Or Hang A Bold Kitchen Gallery Wall
If you're a maximalist and you know it, clap your hands.
5. Corral Your Cooking Essentials
The first step is stowing most supplies out of sight. But for everyday basics, like oil, salt and pepper, a chic tray makes a world of difference when it comes to visual organization.
6. Tack Your Favorite Plates To the Wall
Why leave your finery lingering in the china cupboard...when they can be used as stylish kitchen decor?
7. Leave A Prized Pot On Permanent Display
Consider this your excuse to splurge on Le Creuset’s new lavender line.
8. Upgrade Your Vessels
Try a pretty ceramic cachepot for your cooking utensils, decant your packaged olive oil and store your produce somewhere unexpected and whimsical—like on a cake stand.
9. Introduce Heirloom Ceramics
Your massive ginger jars? Totally kitchen-appropriate.
