As the heart of the home, the kitchen needs to be both practical (it is a working zone first and foremost) and stylish – it is, after all, where we tend to socialise while cooking, baking and experimenting with brand-new recipes.

So, to give your kitchen some pizzazz, take a look at these 10 examples that provide some stylish inspiration, regardless of your kitchen’s size or style.

1. With small kitchens, try and incorporate a breakfast bar/peninsula to open it onto the adjoining room – more space!

2. Wall tiles are not only for bathrooms – see how much style these patterned tiles bring to this backsplash.

3. Islands are not only for dish prepping and seating, but can also help out with storage.

4. Try and switch up the flooring for the dining area in your kitchen – it ensures a unique touch.

5. Glass doors allow a visual link for open-plan kitchens, yet still separate them from the adjoining room(s) when needed.

6. No more room on the walls for a shelf or cabinet? Look to the ceiling!

7. We love the idea of moving a table-and-bench design against the wall to save up on floor space.

8. A serving hatch is so practical and can also complement your kitchen’s design.

9. Want to experiment with a bold colour in your open-plan kitchen? Just ensure that colour reflects in the furniture/décor.

10. Wall-mounted flower boxes in the kitchen – a perfect touch of freshness!
