5 Ways to Revitalize Your Kitchen

Get fresh this spring.

Spring’s bright days cast light on projects that have been neglected through the winter, making this the perfect time for a kitchen refresh. We got some great suggestions from Edmonds Appliances on ways to update a kitchen this spring, so whether you’re planning on gutting your kitchen and starting over or just looking for easy, budget-friendly ways to update the space that’s the heart of your home, read on for useful tips for a spring kitchen renewal.

1. So Long, Clutter!

Unnecessary counter clutter crowds our valuable workspace, so the first step in any successful kitchen refresh is a good purge. Take a page from Marie Kondo’s The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up, and rid yourself of the weight of things that aren’t of use and don’t bring you joy: whether it’s a food processor that has been collecting dust since you received as a wedding gift or a pantry full of items past their expiry date.Once you’ve rid yourself of clutter, careful organization of what remains makes a tidy space easier to maintain. Tuck as much away in your kitchen cabinets as possible, allowing only regularly used—and attractive—items to occupy premium countertop real estate. A dedicated wine or bar cabinets is an eye-catching storage solution that keeps your bottles at the ideal temperature, so you’re ready to entertain at a moment’s notice.

2. Choose Appliances That Give You Space And Peace

Consider using flush-mounted appliances in your kitchen renovation. Whereas traditional, proud-mounted appliances protrude from cabinets, flush-mount appliances align with cabinets and countertops to create a clean, streamlined look, making your space feel as airy as a spring breeze.Since noise pollution can be just as bothersome as visual clutter, a whisper-quiet dishwasher that’s unobtrusive to conversation, even in a small space, makes a kitchen makeover feel complete.

3. Double Duty Appliances

Appliances streamlined for optimum functionality are a terrific spring kitchen upgrade. Those that serve dual purposes, such as steam-combination ovens that function as both convection ovens and steamers, reduce the number of appliances in a kitchen, minimizing visual clutter.

4. Let There Be Light

Even during spring’s longer, sunnier days, a well-lit kitchen is a must, and lighting updates make a space feel fresh and modern. Keep your workspace bright with under-cabinet task lighting, or add your signature touch with unique pendant lighting.

5. Show Your Spring Colours

A well-organized kitchen with sleek appliances is like a canvas waiting to be accessorized with pops of colour, and nothing says “spring” like greenery, whether it’s potted tulips, a fresh bouquet, or a basket of herbs hanging conveniently in a kitchen window. Likewise, meant-to-be-displayed kitchen tools, such as colourful Le Creuset cookware or a KitchenAid stand mixer, read as intentional accents, rather than untidy clutter.
