Three Ideas for Giving Your Kitchen A Facelift In 2021

We all know that the kitchen is the beating heart of any home. It’s not only where we go to cook, it’s where we go to be together as a family, to talk through the issues of the day, to rest and relax. It’s a haven from the stresses and heartaches of the outside world, and during the pandemic it’s also been a place where we can channel our creative energies as we explore new and exotic cuisines and put our culinary skills to the test.

The chances are good that this isn’t a trend that’s going to change any time soon. So, as we head into a new year full of optimism and uncertainty, why not treat yourself and your family to a renovated kitchen?

From small tweaks to a full-scale, all-new dream kitchen, there are so many ways both great and small that you can bring new life to this very special space. Here are a few ideas to help you get started.

Consider Your Surfaces

Let’s face it: the surfaces in our kitchens take a lot of punishment. From chopping knives to searing hot pans, from spills and stains to natural wear and tear, our kitchen tops have seen it all and there will always come a time when a quick wipe-down will no longer cut it. So, why not think about how a new look for your kitchen surfaces could bring some new life to the room?

For the rustic chef, an oak worktop is a beautifully understated choice that could go perfectly with a country-style décor. If your home is more in tune with the cool textures of urban living, then a concrete worktop is incredibly eye-catching. Or, for some timeless elegance, why not explore the myriad options that quartz or marble provide?

Go All-In With A Brand New Kitchen

There comes a time when we must admit to ourselves that we have had enough of those little piecemeal changes. We have all spent an awful lot of time in our kitchens over the last twelve months, a lot more than we would have normally, so it is absolutely understandable that you might be ready for a big change. What does that mean? Well, it means everything from your cooker to your cabinets, from your sinks to your work-tops, a full start-from-scratch project.

There is no denying that this is a big undertaking but with a lot of planning and a little bit of vision, this could transform the kitchen into the space that you have always dreamed of having. Let’s Talk Kitchens has been creating kitchens since 2005, working with a range of some of the most respected brands in the business and catering to a range of different space and budget requirements, and they will work with you to deliver your vision.

Is It Time For New Equipment?

We have all had that stomach-dropping experience of a broken major appliance in our kitchen. Whether it’s the fridge-freezer going on the blink in the middle of a heatwave or the oven deciding to pack it in just as you’re getting started on a roast dinner for the whole family, there are many things that can go wrong and a kitchen appliance break-down is incredibly stressful and repairs can be costly. If you’re getting tired of the same old temperamental behaviour and repeated blips in functionality, then it is definitely time to treat yourself to something new.

Have you always dreamed of having a beautiful Aga in your kitchen to warm the hearth as well as the kettle? Are you fed up of struggling to find space for everything in a fridge that was clearly installed for a single occupant? Adding something that is not only fit for purpose but which actually suits the kitchen as a whole will transform the space.
