Adding design & decor touches to your kitchen space will help you use it to its full potential, to say the least. Considering the fact that your kitchen is not only your space to cook and prepare delicious meals but also a place for your loved ones to meet and greet each other; it requires your attention and effort from time to time. Let’s also not forget, the modern kitchen decor accessories we have at Nestasia, are sure to make your home more than special. Having said that, let’s get to our run-down of must-have modern kitchen decor items that once you get will make you question how you were doing without them. 

1) Jars & containers to keep the clutter away

Whether you have a double island kitchen layout or single countertops, storage jars and containers fall under the category of the most important modern kitchen decor items in your kitchen space. With many essentials to cook food with, comes the great responsibility of storing them safely. It’s needless to say that it’s time to replace the boring ol’ jars that you’ve been using for years in your kitchen, with the ones that bear a passing resemblance to being decor pieces.

3) Classy & convenient cookware & bakeware

When choosing cookware and bakeware for your cooking chronicles, make a point to consider how easy it will make the process of cooking for you. For instance, cast iron cookware is:

  1. Easy to use and clean
  2. It also makes your food more nutritious by adding iron to it. 

Talk about the best of both worlds! Choose from a wide range of Nestasia’s cast iron cookware that also doubles as modern kitchen decor. Bakeware, however, should be easy to handle. So anything you find with handles and texture (for easy handling) is good to go! From dishes to trays, and silicone moulds to toppers, choose from a wide variety of bakeware at Nestasia. 

4) Kitchen tools

Kitchen tools

Kitchen tools can indeed play a significant role in the overall decor of your kitchen. While they primarily serve functional purposes, they can also contribute to the aesthetics and ambiance of the space. Well-organized and stylishly displayed kitchen tools can also serve as a decorative element. Hanging pots and pans, utensils, or even knife racks can create an attractive yet functional display. For example, a hanging pot rack can add an industrial or rustic charm to your kitchen.

Nestip - Kitchen tools come in a variety of different shapes, colours and textures. Make sure to choose the ones that compliment your kitchen decor and theme. 

P.S. If you have open shelves displayed in your kitchen, you can display your pots, pans and tools there. The space can double as a storage space and also be a decor display for your tools and essentials. 

5) The right lights 

Lighting is the key contributor to kitchen decor. Because essentially, there is no point in adorning your kitchen with class-apart pieces if nobody can see them clearly! It’s funny because it’s true. Pendant lights or chandeliers not only add a touch of sophistication and pizzazz to the space but also light up the surroundings evenly, illuminating every corner of the space. Lighting options such as table lamps, small string lights, and spotlights above the kitchen slab or stove set the mood and ambience.   

6) Seating Area

Considering the fact that a kitchen is usually a space where family members come and meet each other, having a seating area in your kitchen is definitely a must-have! And while you’re at it, try decorating it with plush cushions, centerpiece decor, and pretty cutlery stands to make the most of the space. Playful table linen and runners will not only personalize your space but also make your kitchen more lively. Make sure to check out the table linen collection at Nestasia which covers table runners, placemats, coasters, napkins, napkin rings, placeholder cards, and so much more!

7) Make use of space

Shelves

Do you have empty space in your kitchen that you have no idea what to do with? The first and foremost rule of modern design is to make good use of spare space. So technically, the more you use your space efficiently, the more modern and sleek your kitchen will start to look. Here are 5 ways to help you do so:

  1. Open Shelving or Floating Shelves: Open shelves or floating shelves on empty walls can be used to display decorative items, dishes, glassware, or cookbooks. It adds a decorative touch and keeps frequently used items within easy reach.
  2. Pull-Out or Pull-Down Storage: Pull-out or pull-down storage solutions for hard-to-reach spaces like under the sink or in tall cabinets are a great way to make great use of space! Pull-out pantry shelves, spice racks, and pull-down spice holders make the most of these spaces.
  3. Corner Cabinets: Corner cabinets often have inefficient storage. Make use of these spaces by installing lazy Susans, pull-out drawers, or swing-out shelves. These solutions provide easy access to items stored in corners and towards the back that, sadly, don’t often get to see the light of day.
  4. Kitchen Island Storage: If you have a kitchen island, make sure it's not just a countertop but also offers ample storage space. You can include drawers, shelves, or even wine racks to keep kitchen tools and supplies organized.
  5. Hanging Storage: Hang pots, pans, and utensils from the ceiling or a wall-mounted rack. This not only frees up cabinet and drawer space but also adds a decorative and almost avant-garde element to your kitchen decor.

8) And lastly, pantry storage

Your pantry should have space for all your daily knick-knacks and occasional eatables, both combined. It should essentially store your cleaning supplies and other kitchen essentials as well. But how should it be designed? We’d say, start with a walk-in pantry. If you want to make good use of the storage space, you should at least be able to walk in it and rearrange things if need be. Additionally, having organizers such as labeled jars, containers, storage racks, lazy Suzans, and swing trains will all the more help make great use of the available space.
