Kitchen Collection

This summer could be the perfect time to give your kitchen a little makeover. Want a little inspiration on how to do so? Well keep on reading and I'll tell you how. 

 

The beautifully crafted Kitchen Island made using reclaimed timber and oak would look great in any home. The contrast between the painted timber and oak worktop makes it perfect for any style house that being modern or traditional. My favourite design feature of this is the large storage area at the rear of the unit. This space could be used to store a number of old apple crates giving the unit a shabby chic look. If this isn't your style then you could use it to store the necessities like plates or any kitchen tools that are too big for the worktop. Or you could simply leave this space free and use it as a place to comfortably sit at to eat your meals. 

The butcher's block. Perfect for a smaller kitchen giving you that extra space you've wanted. It's like a smaller version of a kitchen island. You can use it as storage and an extra area to prepare food. The unusual checkered pattern on the wood will create a real feature in your room, a focal point, and a conversation starter. This piece would look great in a traditional country kitchen.

A church pew is a great alternative to dining chairs. They are however usually seen as old and antique more suitable for the country-style interiors, but they can work just as well with modern decor. Church pews usually have relatively simple designs making it easy to place in any room in the house. If you don't like the colour of the wood, fear not. Painting the pew in a white or pastel colour modernises the pew and still allows the detail to show through. Not only can the pew be used in the kitchen, but also another great place is the hallway, a great focal point as soon as you enter the house and a great spot to put your wellies on.

How can you use these old apple crates in your kitchen at home? You can simply just use these for storage, in the kitchen unit or under the butcher's block for example. But there are other ways to show off these vintage boxes. Fix them to the wall and use them as shelves for your kitchen essentials or fix them side-by-side to create a book case for all those recipe books clogging up your worktop. You could convert this retro piece into a herb garden giving your kitchen an extra bit of colour.
