Your kitchen is the heart of your home. Some may argue it’s the bedroom but food always comes before sleep. As years fly by, trends shift. It keeps getting better and better.
Although some Kenyans prefer a traditional look, others want to go big. The design of your kitchen speaks volumes about your home. Hence, you should really spice it up. These days more and more Kenyans are investing in their kitchens. You don’t want to be left out.
Coloured kitchen cabinets
Out with the brown in with colours. Honestly, the love of house developers with brown cabinets is beyond anyone. Each house has brown kitchen cabinets. Is it a standard government issued colour? ( You can’t put it passed our government thou). This year how about you bring sunshine in your kitchen with colouring them. From dark colours to brighter colours, the list is endless.
Open Kitchen Cabinets
As long as you don’t live in a dusty location. This option is just for you. It is casual, classy and modern. It helps you be more organized. Additionally, you won’t have your items hiding away from you.
Take off those cabinet doors, expose your shelves. In addition, this makes your small scapes appear bigger.

Unique fridges
Forget the classic fridge. We are now adopting fancier and cooler fridges. These designs will have you loving your fridge far more than simply its convenience. Critics may wonder why you want a bright yellow fridge but the aesthetic is everything. You would feel happy each time you walked into your kitchen and see your fridge there.
Open pantry
For those who don’t know what this is. It’s a store where you put excess ingredients or cereals. Most times we have a food store. But that is the past. Most apartments or even homes don’t have a store so what you are going to do.
Get a shelf and make it into a pantry. It provides the kitchen with a homely feel. In addition, you can see all your items, it will help with organization and knowing when you need to go shopping.
More appliances
Oh! We just want the coffee maker, the blender, the juicer and the list goes on and on. With the convenience of technology, our kitchens are becoming smarter. The dishwasher and microwave are helping us with every hustle. As people get on the rat race. They want to make their work easier at home as well.
Invest in the appliances.
Countertops
Aha, my dear, you ask what this is. Let me save you the agony. This is the kitchen counter you hardly use or some don’t have. The counter can be used as a makeshift dining table. Especially for those with kids, it is perfect for breakfast before school.
Adding unique stools or chairs brings out the modernity of your kitchen.
Decorate your kitchen
It’s not meant in a literal sense. It means to add aesthetics. Most Kenyan households don’t decorate their kitchens as their living room. We all decorate our fridges but the kitchen is basically dull. Add a painting or make your kitchen colour coordinate.
Decorating gives you a thrill while you are in your kitchen. It makes you want to be in there. It doesn’t have to be big just small details turn the kitchen into a work of art
Make it green
Plants. Yes, plants. You can plant spring onions in a pot and add them to your kitchen or any spice. Some may be sceptical about plants in a kitchen but the advantages are tremendous. Plants clear the air making it free. They also act as decorations.
