we spend more time in our kitchens than in any other room in our home.
Think about it, we cook, snack, eat meals, do homework, make crafts, wash dishes, clean scraped elbows, and scroll Tiktok while drinking our morning coffee…
all from our kitchens.
But maybe this workhorse of a room is just not cutting it for you these days. Its falling down on the (many) jobs and you’re feeling frustrated by having to spend so much time in there.
I got you. And I know what you need.
You need a quick kitchen refresh in the form of these 5 easy upgrades that will make you fall back in love with your kitchen.
1. Pull Down Faucet System
Coming in hot, lets take a look at, undoubtedly the MOST constantly used tool in the kitchen, the faucet. An old, crusty, leaking faucet could not only drive you far away from dish-duty, but it could also cause structural damage and mold issues if left for too long. So why not snag yourself an upgrade in the form of this super slick spring loaded faucet that provides 3 different types of water flow AND allows for a drinking water faucet in the same system.
2. soft close cabinet dampers
Nothing will wear your cabinet doors and drawers (and nerves) down like constant door slamming. Perhaps you thought you couldn’t get those sexy soft close cabinets without a total remodel but guess what!? Some kissable genius created these awesome dampers that can simply be attached near your existing cabinet hinges, giving you that luxury feel that doesn’t make a sound.
3. 5 Burner Induction Cooktop
If you gotta go electric, you gotta go induction. Our electric cooktop shattered (mysteriously, according to everyone in the house…insert eyeroll here) just before we were set to cook Christmas Eve dinner for our extended family. After researching our options we landed on this sleek and sexy induction cooktop with 5 burners complete with “power boil” mode. It shipped quickly, we easily installed it, and immediately made spaghetti as our tester meal. The Power Boil was magical, getting cold water to boil in no more than 3 minutes which is great since we live with an impatient child whose main source of sustenance is pasta. Beside the power boil, my second favorite feature is that its completely seamless, making cleaning a breeze since there are no little spaces for food yucks to get stuck.
4. Baggie Storage Dispenser
My husband rolled his eyes at this one but I swear its the simple pleasures sometimes that get you through the day. This baggie organizer fits nicely in most drawers or cabinets and keeps all your baggies in place and at hand when needed. No more fighting with half-dead cardboard containers or crumpled loose cellophane bag amalgamations.
5. Pull Out Cabinet Sliding Shelf
We’ve all pretty much figured out by now that drawers trump cabinets when it comes to functional kitchen storage. But if you’re kitchen is old-school and cabinet heavy, you can still sneak smart storage in in the form of these slide out cabinet inserts. They basically turn your hard to reach places into accessible storage and give you more space back as a bonus. With several sizes to choose from, I’m certain you’ll be glad to conquer your kitchen cabinets with these babies.
Go get them and love your kitchen time! After all, you’re going to be in there a lot, you might as well make it work for you.
