Spring time is just around the corner and with Winter bringing a dark and gloomy feel over you house, it’s a good time to refresh your home, and what better place to start than the heart of the home, the kitchen. We’ve got 5 great weekend projects, including some simple DIYs to update your kitchen for spring.

Create calm in your cupboards

Nothing is going to make your kitchen more of a joy to be in than clean, organised cupboards. Opening up your cupboards and finding everything where it should be makes life so much easier. A good place to start is in your pantry. Begin by sorting out all the packets of food at the back of the pantry and wiping down all the sticky sauce bottles. Then organise your food in a way that works for you. Perhaps you could group all your baking goods together, arrange your tins so that like items are stacked together and corral all your packet mixes together in a basket or small tub. Maybe now is the time to invest in some stylish new canisters? There are so many affordable options available these days. Never underestimate the power of a well organised cupboard to update your kitchen for Spring!

Deep clean sink area

Whilst we are tackling cleanliness, an often overlooked area is the kitchen sink. We think that because it has water running through it everyday it must be clean, but look a little closer, it isn’t! Giving your kitchen sink and taps a deep and thorough clean will update your kitchen instantly. If you’re looking to really give your kitchen a fresh and revitalised look, it might be a good idea to upgrade you taps. There are a broad range of taps that come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Many of which don’t require a plumber to install.  So, consider investing in a new set of taps or kitchen mixer as part of freshening up your kitchen for Spring.

Bling up your cupboards

An easy way to breathe new life into a kitchen is by swapping out your old door handles for new ones. Kitchen handles are the “jewellery” of many kitchens adding personality and charm. However it’s easy for cupboard handles to start to shabby just through everday use, and, just like out of vogue accessories can ruin a gorgeous outfit, outdated kitchen handles can make a kitchen look tired and old very easily. So say goodbye to chipped and tired kitchen cupboards handles and update your kitchen in time for Spring with some fashionable new cupboard bling.

Gorgeous fresh herbs

Another great way to update your kitchen for spring is to create a herb garden. There are many herbs that grow well indoors including sage, parsley, coriander, mint and basil. A little herb garden in the corner of your kitchen will liven up with your kitchen with some greenery that will come in handy every day. An added bonus, it’s going to make all your cooking taste that much better!

Trendy small appliances

Finally a very simple and effective way to update your kitchen for spring is to invest in some new small kitchen appliances. These days small kitchen appliances, like toasters and kettles, have become far more than just functional, they are now décor pieces that can easily bring style and a pop of colour to your kitchen benchtops. Whilst you might be careful to keep your small kitchen appliances well maintained, simply because they are used everyday, they can easily start showing signs of wear and tear. The fresh and clean look of a new on trend kettle and toaster, might be all that’s needed to update your kitchen ready for spring.
