Does it no longer inspire them? Is it draining their creative energy? As the place that so many family members congregate in, a kitchen is a space in the home that should reflect a happy, lively ambiance. And since cooking is an everyday task, your client\u2019s kitchen should be both functional and inspiring to the senses.\n\nNo matter who likes to take on cooking duties in your client\u2019s household, these design tips will help you turn a kitchen your client loathes into the heart of good food and good cheer!\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_80 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/2016\/09\/1804\/#1_Clear_out_clutter_with_storage\" >1.

Clear out clutter with storage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1809\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Kitchen-Design-Declutter.jpg\" alt=\"kitchen-design-declutter\" \/>\n\nMake cleaning up easy with ample ways to store your client\u2019s stuff. Does your client still treasure an ice-cream maker even if they only break it out a few times a year? You don\u2019t have to force your client to part with it just yet!\n\nThink about including a new island. Use pot racks to clear up drawer space. Go through pantry space and throw out those forgotten food items that are way past their expiration date. Limit your client to one junk drawer. Eliminate excess clutter to make a kitchen look inviting once again.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Beautify_cabinetry\"><\/span>2. Beautify cabinetry<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nCabinets need not be bland any longer! There are plenty of ways to update kitchen cabinets if replacing them isn\u2019t in your client\u2019s design budget.\n\nA coat of fresh white paint will instantly liven up a space. If white is a little too predictable, go with another bright color. Creams or pale yellows (or something brighter!) can help give the kitchen a light, airy feel.\n\nThink outside the box: take off doors, paint accent walls in the back of cabinets, update hardware, and install under-cabinet lighting.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Incorporate_a_window_nook\"><\/span>3. Incorporate a window nook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1810\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Kitchen-Design-Breakfast-Nook.jpg\" alt=\"kitchen-design-breakfast-nook\" \/>\n\nExtra breakfast seating is always a demand in contemporary kitchens. Design a window nook for an exceptionally cozy space where your client will enjoy their morning coffee.\n\nConsult with a carpenter to have custom seating built. Otherwise, work with a pre-fabricated seating bench. If space is a concern, a lovely bistro set is an option. Tie it all together with comfy cushions and window treatment.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Create_a_bold_backsplash\"><\/span>4. Create a bold backsplash<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nIs your client\u2019s kitchen missing a backsplash? Or do they hate their current one? Luckily we currently live in the era of inexpensive backsplash solutions! Head over to your local hardware store and prepare to be amazed by the wide selection of stick-on backsplash panels. From mosaics to metallics to subway tile, you\u2019re sure to find an easy-to-install backsplash to suit your client\u2019s taste.\n\nCheck out some of these peel-and-stick backsplash tiles from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wayfair.com\/Backsplash-Tile-l2970-c1807337-O123734~Peel+%5BAMP%5D+Stick.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wayfair<\/a> to get your creative juices flowing. Of course, tile always promises a stunning finish. You can also push past the ordinary and create a beautiful mosaic with your client\u2019s chosen tile instead.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Show_off_shelving\"><\/span>5. Show off shelving<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1812\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Kitchen-Design-Shelving.jpg\" alt=\"kitchen-design-shelving\" \/>\n\nOpen shelving can be a spectacular way to showcase pretty or unusual dishes. Do your clients have a penchant for fine china but don\u2019t use it on a daily basis? Or maybe they have an impressive collection of professional pots and pans. Make them a part of your design d\u00e9cor.\n\nAlternatively, mason jars are a charming way of storing utensils! Tidy up your client\u2019s spice rack, and pretty soon you will discover other places you can maximize space by incorporating new shelving.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Cheer_up_with_new_textiles\"><\/span>6. Cheer up with new textiles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nNew kitchen textiles are a simple and super budget-friendly way of making your client\u2019s kitchen more stylish. Go shopping for seat pads, placemats, table runners, and tea towels. Update any drapery if you can.\n\nPrints don\u2019t have to be matchy-matchy, but make the look whimsy-chic rather than messy by pulling them all together\u2014either with a common shade or tone. Don\u2019t forget to store your decade old silicon oven mitts in the extra storage space you just created!\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Freshen_up_with_accessories\"><\/span>7. Freshen up with accessories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1813\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Kitchen-Design-Fresh-Accessories.jpg\" alt=\"kitchen-design-fresh-accessories\" \/>\n\nBring in fresh fruit and flowers. Fragrant items will inspire your clients to cook with their senses. Give your clients suggestions for picking up the most dazzlingly colorful fruit they can find at their grocer, and fill up a decorative bowl with bold color.\n\nFramed artwork is a tidy answer to sticking up a thousand magnets on the fridge\u2014although maybe this season\u2019s favorites can still find a home there\u2026\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Customize_furniture\"><\/span>8. Customize furniture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nModern kitchens don\u2019t need to be staged with already-styled furniture arrangements. Mix and match different pieces to let your client\u2019s personal flair shine through. For example, live edge farm tables are incredibly in fashion right now.\n\nPair that rustic finish with different chairs \u2014 uniform seating not required! Adventurous enough to search for flea-market finds? Blend different chairs with a fresh coat of paint and matching seat pads. Just make sure the overall style is consistent.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Try_out_DIY_updates\"><\/span>9. Try out DIY updates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1814\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Kitchen-Design-DIY.jpg\" alt=\"kitchen-design-diy\" \/>\n\nIf your client is handy (and yes, that\u2019s a big IF), try some DIY fixes. Purchase specialty paint for old countertops and have your clients give them a fresh coat. Different sponging techniques will provide different finishes. Some countertops can even be re-laminated for a reasonable price.\n\nStainless steel are appliances are expensive, so look into appliance panels instead. Set aside some of the budget for new sink basins and faucets. As a design professional, you know there are really no right or wrong ways to update a tired space. Just be creative and resourceful!\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Brighten_up_with_new_lighting_fixtures\"><\/span>10. Brighten up with new lighting fixtures<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nHas your client suddenly come to the realization that they must have a crystal chandelier? Again\u2014go with what your clients are drawn to and plan your d\u00e9cor accordingly.\n\nNew lighting fixtures are a stylish way of making a kitchen one-of-a-kind! Plus, a little extra lighting is always handy when it comes to trying a tricky new recipe.\n<h3 align=\"center\"><i>Interested in other creative ways you can help your clients revamp their home?
