How To Spring Your Kitchen Into Summer

A Cozy Lifestyle with Clearissa Coward

I know you all are getting excited because the other “S” word is on the way. Summer is coming and the children will be out of school summer and expecting you to make their lives special for the next 2.5 months. Well, What they are NOT expecting is to watch you stress over a kitchen that is not ready for summer. So today we are springing into summer and refreshing our kitchens. I have seven great tips to help you make that happen. So let’s get into my tips on How To Spring Your Kitchen Into Summer

A kitchen refresh is a great way to welcome the summer season. Here are some ideas to help you “spring” into a fresh, decluttered, and organized kitchen:

1. Start by decluttering and organizing your kitchen. Get rid of anything that you no longer need or use. Donate or sell items that are in good condition, and throw away anything that is broken or expired. Then, organize your cabinets and drawers so that everything has a designated spot.

This is where I have a problem…the purge. I love, I mean love kitchen gadgets. And sometimes I forget why I bought them or what some of the stranger ones are used for, but I have a problem purging them. I am promising to do better this summer. 🙂 Who’s with me?

2. Paint your cabinets: A fresh coat of paint can do wonders for your kitchen. If your cabinets are outdated or worn, consider painting them a fresh, light color to give your kitchen a bright and airy feel. I can personally vouch for painted cabinets. We had ours painted about 6 years ago and they have held up well. That’s a great way to update your kitchen on a budget and it makes a huge difference.

3. Update your hardware: Another easy way to refresh your cabinets is to update the hardware. Swap out old, dated knobs and pulls for modern, sleek ones that fit your style.

4. Add some greenery: Bring some life into your kitchen by adding some plants or fresh herbs. They not only look great but can also purify the air and add a pleasant scent.

5. Upgrade your lighting: Good lighting can make a big difference in any space, and the kitchen is no exception. Consider upgrading your lighting fixtures or adding some under-cabinet lighting to brighten up your workspace.

6. Change your backsplash: Changing your backsplash can completely transform the look of your kitchen. Consider updating it with a new tile or even a fun peel-and-stick option.

7. Add some artwork: Artwork is a great way to add some personality to your kitchen. Choose pieces that fit your style and color scheme to add some visual interest.

Our home was built in 1980 and when I purchased it, it was all about the 80s style. But I saw potential and over time, I have absolutely applied all seven of my tips to my very own kitchen. And each tip made the home more mine annnnnd refreshed it as well. You can do the same and each change, large or small makes the home feel refreshed. Get ready for summer!

So, now that I’ve broken the process down into smaller bites, I know you can jump in and get it all done before summer is ready to take you away on a beautiful wave.

We are a little different from most. Summer is not our favorite season. We save indoor projects for those smoldering and humid days of summer in our area. We beach it during the off-seasons and when the weather is unbearably hot, we stay inside and get things done. We can do that because our children are all adults with children of their own so we aren’t obligated to melt during those 98-degree days. 🙂 Age has its perks. 🙂

But for those of you who love summer and all that that implies, enjoy it without a guilty kitchen conscience. 🙂 Let’s get that kitchen purged, organized, and refreshed now.

Happy summer my friends.
