Make space for a fruit basket

As you did for the flora, try placing a fruit basket at the kitchen slabs. Put some fresh seasonal fruits; you can chose the same fruit or a variety of them to make it look more interesting and colourful. If you feel that a real fruit basket is counting in more pennies, try making a fruit case with fruit replicas. They are cheaper and easily available at any local markets.

Bring out every cooking ingredient and organize them on small trays

Bringing out your cooking elements on the tray makes you kitchen look sleek and smart. Organize them on separate trays in your own way like spices, tea and coffee, salt and sugar, cooking oils and sauces. You can also stack your favourite recipe book on the trays.

Use some summer scented cleaner

Since kitchen spaces bear the most favourable conditions for a microbial growth, they always need a deep cleaning. In addition with any kitchen update don’t forget to clean your cooking space thoroughly every day. Use some refreshing summer scented cleaners for your cooking area. This will not only negate away the foul smell but also kill the micro organisms at the kitchen space.

Grow a small herb garden in your kitchen

Earlier I mentioned about placing a flower vase at any suitable corner of your kitchen. Now you can grow a little herb garden too in the kitchen area. You can chose from different herbs like basil, mint, rosemary, coriander etc. This pretty herb garden will give a bright look to your summer kitchen and then you can always tag your kitchen as ‘organic’.

Every kitchen has several elements; stools, cabinets, racks, tiles, floating shelves etc. Make sure each of them own a different colour. If possible try to play a contrast in their colours. While bright green is a popular pick for cabinets and shelves, yellow goes good for stools and racks. Silver white tiles with maroon racks are a deadly combination to dwell in for kitchen walls. Check in the internet for more innovative kitchen colour contrast ideas to revamp your kitchen space for summer.

Less heat, more airy

Focus upon making your kitchen space more airy and bright. Ensure that your cooking area receives maximum sunlight during the day. However, chose some soft and eye smoothening lights for the evening. Opt for induction ovens over the regular gas chulhas. Inductions generate much less heat as compared to the chulhas. Microwaves are another great medium to lessen the heat generation in your kitchen.

It is so true when they say that kitchens are made for bringing families together as it is the table gathering that creates the fondest of memories.
