Here at Savoy Timber, we\u2019ve always thought that summer is the perfect time to give your home a refresh and new lease on life. And if the recent spell of hot weather has had you thinking about giving your kitchen some summer TLC but you don\u2019t know where to start, then you\u2019re in exactly the right place. <\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve put together three easy DIY kitchen ideas that will give you the inspiration you need on all things summer. Here, you\u2019ll find out more about how to use summer colours, natural lighting and your <\/span>laminate kitchen worktops<\/b><\/span><\/a> to maximise your space for this season. So, let\u2019s get started, shall we?<\/span><\/p>\n

Use natural light as a feature <\/span><\/h2>\n

Natural light has many great benefits. It boosts happiness levels, improves productivity and gives us a healthy dose of vitamin D. In the kitchen it can be used as a feature to make the space feel lighter, brighter and larger – which is perfect for the summer months. To really make the most of the natural light while it\u2019s here, there\u2019s a couple of things you can do. <\/span><\/p>\n

First off, draw those curtains. Once you\u2019ve got natural light pouring in, try to keep your windowsill free from any light blocking obstacles – like cleaning supplies or kitchen appliances. If you happen to have shiny floors or glossy laminate kitchen worktops, give them a good polish. Just like the timeless saying \u2018mirrors make a room feel larger\u2019, the shiny surface will help the natural light to bounce around the room. This also goes for any glass or metal surfaces you may have too!<\/span><\/p>\n

In a similar vein, if you\u2019re thinking of repainting your cabinets or <\/span>splashbacks<\/b><\/span><\/a>, it\u2019s worth opting for a gloss paint. Like the floors and countertops, this will help to reflect more light and make the room feel bigger, brighter and better overall.<\/span><\/p>\n

Add a splash of summer vibrancy with colours<\/span><\/h2>\n

During summer, it\u2019s no surprise that so many people find themselves wanting a kitchen that reflects the refreshing feeling of the weather outside. And what better way to capture the essence of summer than with colour? When it comes to summer colour pallets, going bold and bright is a great way to pack a punch. We\u2019re talking reds, oranges, yellows, pinks, blues, and even greens – basically anything vibrant! Or if bright colours aren\u2019t your thing, why not consider some fresh kitchen colours that are slightly more subdued? Our suggestions \u2013 earth tones and pastels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Simply changing the backdrop, accents, or a few small decor pieces on your <\/span>laminate kitchen worktops<\/b><\/span><\/a>, can all breathe new life into your kitchen, and help you create a summer-inspired space that feels charming and cheerful without a huge commitment. Embrace your inner artist and add a splash of colour to your kitchen this summer! <\/span><\/p>\n

Bring the natural beauty of your garden into your kitchen <\/span><\/h2>\n

Today, house plants are more popular than ever. But did you know that the kitchen is often one of the most overlooked rooms when it comes to adding plants? Studies have shown<\/span><\/a><\/strong> that having indoor plants can help to purify the air, increase oxygen levels and remove toxins. So they can be fantastic little kitchen helpers when given the chance \u2013 and they look great and help bring feelings of happiness and vitality into the space. <\/span><\/p>\n

The options for indoor greenery are endless, and what better way to bring the beauty of summer into your kitchen than by using home-grown plants from your own garden? If you don\u2019t have a green thumb, don’t worry. You can easily pick up a few staple plants from the supermarket or garden centre without spending a fortune. <\/span><\/p>\n

When picking out your plants you could go for something edible if you like cooking, like fresh herbs or even a chilli plant. Alternatively, you could go for something medicinal, like an aloe vera to help with any pesky cooking burns and scrapes (not to mention for sunburn), or chrysanthemums to purify the air. If you\u2019re growing flowers in your garden, try making use of their beauty by picking a few of your favourites and forming a handmade bouquet to place on your laminate kitchen worktops!<\/span><\/p>\n

Essentially, a few carefully chosen changes here and there can really transform the look of your kitchen. And these DIYs <\/i><\/b>and swaps don\u2019t have to break the bank! And if you\u2019re looking to go that extra mile for your kitchen this summer, then our <\/span>laminate kitchen worktops<\/b><\/span><\/a> will help you do just that.<\/span><\/p>\n
