4 Ways to Create Your Dream Show Home Kitchen

As a real estate worker, you’ll likely be familiar with creating a show home kitchen, but in doing so, there’s a magic formula to follow to ensure that your show home kitchen will attract and transfix your potential house buyers.

If you want to create a kitchen to remember, here are some top tips and tricks to guarantee that your potential buyers will fall in love with their dream kitchen.

1. Neutral Colours

If you’re looking for a colour palette for your show home kitchen, using neutral colours can benefit you as a seller.

As many buyers are looking for a blank canvas, using a neutral colour palette can help you go further to allow the buyers to imagine putting their own stamp on the kitchen.

Neutral colours such as white, cream and pastels also give clean and minimalist living connotations, and can make even the smallest rooms appear much larger than they are in reality.

Companies like Lick can offer samples that you can peel and stick, meaning that you can move your samples from room to room to survey under different lighting conditions, or with different furniture pieces and layouts.

2. Use Quality Kitchen Worktops

To a potential buyer, a sturdy and high quality kitchen will be on their desirable list. To many families, the kitchen is the hub of the household, and the number one place where the whole family comes

together for meals and to have discussions at the end of a busy day.
If you’re in need of durable worktops for your kitchen design, worktop manufacturers like Lawcris have a selection of high quality materials like laminate and melamine that will provide a durable, but beautiful finish to your show home kitchen.

3. Brighten Up the Room with Art

Art can add so much character and charm to your show home kitchen. By adding canvases or posters to your walls, you can inject some style in a subtle but tasteful way.

Whether you opt for stock photos, illustrations or simple quotes, websites like Wall Art Direct have a huge variety of designs to choose from, and speedy shipping that will allow you to have your preferred designs on your walls in no time!

For many standard sized prints, you can also buy statement picture frames that will protect your art in food preparation areas and prevent any accidental splashes from ruining your decor.

4. Consider Your Lighting

Lighting in your kitchen is incredibly important, as it will help to create ambience and atmosphere for diners.

Having a large pendant light above a dining table helps to create a centrepiece and draw the eye. Additionally, dimmable spotlights can help to create a cosy atmosphere in the evenings and for dinner parties.

You may also want to use floor lamps or wall lights to build character in your kitchen, or use as accessories around a dining area. As many modern kitchens have a combined kitchen and dining area, you can use this opportunity to furnish your dining space further and combine it with the kitchen decor with ease.
