Improving Your Rental Kitchen Design According to the Pro’s

If you feel like your rental kitchen is in need of a newer and better makeover then listen to these professional designers as they give you tips and tricks to make your kitchen look way better. You'll be seeing a whole new and classier kitchen design in no time.

The Kitchn, an internet food magazine, featured ways on improvising the look of your rental kitchen. Rental kitchens are those smaller-than-regular kitchens that are part of one's apartment. For those who are living in small urban residences such as this, you would know the difficulty and lack of mobility when it comes to small areas like that of your rental kitchen.

Cooking needs a ton of space to work around which, unfortunately, rental kitchens cannot provide you. Resident designer and writer of Homepolish, Orlando Soria, said that changing small details could give big changes in the look. Repainting a set of cabinets or changing the flooring with peel-and-stick linoleum tiles in clean patterns. Other small details that you can change are utensils, faucets, wallpapers, floor rugs, and even the lighting can make a huge impact.

Holly Becker, a writer of award-winning blog site Decor8, said that improvising the things in your rental kitchen can also help. She shared a personal experience where she filled in the grooves of the wood panels and sanded them down to give it a shiny finish. Plank wood floors and brass hardware can also be enough to make your rental kitchen look elegant.

Jonathan Lo of Happy Mundane and J3 productions (both design companies) say that paint also makes a lot of difference to your rental kitchen but you need to ask for permission the owner. Adding unconventional objects as storage items can also add to the feel and design of your rental kitchen. These objects can be small ones such as a vintage breadbox or a vase, or to slightly bigger ones like a rolling cart.

These tips just revolve around one thing - make your rental kitchen look more like your own with your personal design. These professional designers give you their two cents in design advice but still give you the leeway in choosing materials, colors, and patterns that would help personalize your rental kitchen.
