Helpful tips – Staging your kitchen
After 25 years in business, we know a thing or two about staging a kitchen.
Putting the finishing touches on your kitchen is like putting icing on a cake. It makes the space come alive and invites the eye to look with delight!
-
Start with a clean slate – clear everything from your kitchen. This way you can declutter the space and see what areas needs to be highlighted
Group items in clusters and place in areas that make sense – such as oats and canisters near the bowls, and oils and vinegars near the stove. Also, vary the heights and textures, and aim to group in odd numbers
Use wooden chopping boards to add warmth and texture to the space.
Highlight the colours of your cabinetry, backsplash or neighbouring room – as you can see from the photos, we incorporated lots of greens in our styling to make these cabinets sing
Display beautiful cookbooks – they look great sandwiched between a canister of cooking utensils near the stove
Create a focal point on your island with fresh produce and greenery – fruit and herbs are an inexpensive way to add a pop of colour
Don’t forget the "pretty" – upgrade your tea towels (they look lovely draped over the sink or counter) – and place stylish hand soap bottles and washing up liquids near your sink

Remember, you can’t get this wrong. Test and swap things out until you get the feeling just right
