Ensuring your kitchen always looks lovely is a tough task. It's never going to be clean all the time if you actually use it, so forget that notion, but what about a kitchen that is easy to clean and that you actually enjoy spending time in and entertaining in? It's possible, with even the smallest of kitchen. Sometimes it just takes a bit of creativity and change.
Instead of feeling you need to shove everything inside a cupboard, think of things that can live on the countertops. Everyone likes the idea of clean spacious uncluttered countertops, but there is no rule that says they have to completely empty. A nice cutting board can certainly live on top.
A few jars of Olive oil and vinegar certainly accent a kitchen and give it some character. Also having large glass containers full of pastas, cereals, and baking ingredients can also add a touch of warmth to the room. It definitely adds a layer of reality in that it says that clearly this is a kitchen people live and work and eat in!
Having an actual cake stand on display can seem a bit over the top, or even old fashioned, but you can have a cake stand that also serves as a place for seasonal decorations, as well as baked goods you've made (or bought) that you wish to share.
For those people who look in your cupboards, as well as for your own sense of ease in your kitchen, it's sometimes helpful to transfer all your random ingredients into glass jars. It certainly looks tidier, and it gives a kitchen a sense of order.
Kitchens are meant to be places that people hang out in and chat, but it's hard to do if you have to stand all the time. Many kitchens don't have kitchen tables and if they do, they are either directly in the centre of things or they are off to the side. Having a few stools up against the counter tops is a great way of creating a more inviting feel to the place.
