The kitchen has long been just a cooking space. Most kitchens are very friendly places, where the family gathers just to talk or have a hot chocolate together.

That is why the kitchen has entered the category of spaces that are frequently renovated and improved. If you also love your kitchen and want to make a change that will help you feel even better when preparing the best desserts, choose to combine practice with aesthetics, for fantastic results.

Here are some ways you can transform your kitchen!

Replace the classic table with an island-type countertop. By placing it in the middle of the kitchen, the space becomes much larger, it can be reorganized, you have more room to move freely and you can, at the same time, cook and talk to people.

Here's how to put one together for use with your loved ones. The trick also works for very small kitchens, where it is ideal to choose a U or L-shaped countertop, reconciling both the need for space and the desire to have a practical and modern kitchen!

Opt for wallpaper. You may not have thought about putting wallpaper in your kitchen, but it has an incredible effect, especially in the case of older homes, with uneven walls or where the paint does not look exactly aesthetic.

Not only does it completely change the air and the atmosphere, but it immediately covers the small imperfections and gets rid of the dreaded dampness. If the kitchen is new and the walls have no problem, it's okay to stick to a light, washable shade. It can be easily cleaned in case of small culinary accidents! Of course, if you want to give it more heat, wallpaper remains a viable solution!

Do you find it difficult to maintain perfect order among kitchen accessories and are you willing to give up design for the sake of comfort? Then choose cabinets and drawers in dark colors.

No matter how good and modern everything looks, if the organization of the kitchen consumes too much time, it is better to choose closed drawers, which help you to have a more spacious kitchen, not to hit all the objects and, especially, bring to the surface just what you need. It will be less tiring.

Otherwise, if you are in love with the kitchen and the modern design is not a problem for you, try the open shelves, leave everything in sight and enjoy having them at your fingertips!

Solid wood furniture can make a big difference to your kitchen. For more warmth and a welcoming atmosphere, wood is a perfect idea.

Especially if you think it can be polished, varnished, and can look new at any time! If you live at home, a wooden kitchen has a special charm, so keep the furniture shiny, modern, and bright for the apartment or for situations where you have an extremely modern home, where the wood would be like walnut on the wall!

Give your kitchen extra pragmatism with quartz countertops. Quartz withstands hot water, steam, hot dishes and does not degrade. In this way, you give the kitchen a neat look and a longer life.

If you want elegance and stick to the design of the kitchen at any cost, then marble remains the emblem of good taste. But beware: it is sensitive to any scratches!

Provides cabinets with a practical, timeless mechanism with stainless steel handles. Easy to use, very comfortable, and durable over time, these handles save you from the annual kitchen renovation.

If you want state-of-the-art furniture and are willing to give up practical solutions for modern ones, choose glossy white cabinets that work with fingerprints!

In this situation, you should know that you can wake up every day with the surprise that they will no longer work. In such situations, you need to be prepared to make changes whenever needed. Luxury involves sacrifices!

Choose hardwood floors. Here's how to put one together for use with your kitchen.

Both are extremely durable and are unlikely to need to be replaced. It withstands scratches, in very rare cases they become visible, and if you happen to get rid of certain toxic or staining substances, you can rest easy, most of them can be erased, no stains remain, no damage, and, of course, you can always resort to an extra layer of varnish.

You can transform your kitchen by choosing a sink installed under the mask, deep and embedded in the countertop, which cannot be seen.

Not only will you give the kitchen a big plus, because the sponge and other cleaning products will no longer be visible, lined up on the edge of the sink, but you won't splash around. Keep the design and order in the kitchen with such a choice!

Are you thinking of beautifying your kitchen by choosing a corner sofa? Yes, it can be a practical idea, if you think that you save space and you can store a few boxes under it.

But when it comes to gathering more at the table… you may crowd. Here comes the choice of comfortable, practical chairs, maybe even folding ones. Depending on how many people you assume could eat in the kitchen, the choice is yours!

Opt for warm colors, to break the monotony and give the kitchen a happier atmosphere!
