HOW TO MAKE YOUR KITCHEN ORGANISED AND TRENDY
From cooking to baking or sharing special time with family members for some light nibbles, the kitchen has been the heart for activities among family members or pals. Additionally, a kitchen could be a symbol of standing; the amount of money spent in planning and building could be directly related to family earnings. Naturally, selecting the best white goods has been a subject of great interest. 1 or 2 factors affect kitchen design.
The “final” touch in decorating a kitchen is various accessories of both a decorative and functional nature. They can transform your kitchen from a showpiece into a beautiful living space.
One such decoration, which will always prove as a useful detail, is the kitchen wall clock. Clock whether larger, round or square, with a narrower or broader framework, classical needles or digital, is the most reliable friend in the timing of food preparation, and can still be very interesting décor, which is harmonised with the style. Clocks with weights and rustic ornaments (such as floral or like small rural house) will look good in rustic kitchens, while in modern spaces choose a clock with simple lines, with or without a metal frame. Particularly attractive will be variations in some of the bright colours and colourful clocks with interesting geometric motifs.
Until now, often neglected, special attention is paid to various containers in kitchens. In classic and rustic spaces they are plain or painted porcelain, while the minimalism is reserved for simpler glass or metal containers.
Good decor, but also an excellent extra space to store things, are well organised baskets made from natural materials, whether they are installed independently or as part of a stand-alone cabinet.
Ceramic bowls for fruits and vegetables, whether in the simplest form of straight lines to the kitschy decorated variants, show the unmistakable detail in creating a warm kitchen look, as well as sugar and salt containers. Today, there are more and more trendy and lightweight aluminium containers for oatmeal and glass containers for different types of pasta. Wall hangers for various kitchen appliances (draining spoon, ladle, large forks for baking, spatula, skimmer etc.) should also be stylistically consistent with the rest of the kitchen.
Another well-liked and trendy approach is by integrating a few appliances into a total unit concealed with cupboard doors and drawers. This not only gives a wow-factor to visitors who would discover technology behind these doors but also maximise the utilisation of kitchen space.
This type of kitchen design supplements the heat that is omitted by this straight forward design using genuine or synthetic wood panels that hide appliances. Putting other centerpiece like a desk with simple marble finish provides a stylish appeal and simultaneously an alternate location to have an excellent breakfast every day with members of the family.
Finally, do not forget to bring a breath of freshness and naturalness, for which you can use vases for flowers and a variety of indoor potted plants. An excellent fit in every kitchen will be small decorative bowls with herbs, which can be put together in one large basket – this solution is particularly attractive in rustic kitchens, in which an important decor are certain types of canned foods, such as jars of jam or pickles decorated with colourful plaid fabric on the lids.
It is extremely important to put curtains in the dining room. For an ethereal, calming appearance we curtains made from a solid colour, thin, translucent fabric is suggested, while where the emphasis is on luxury, especially in rooms decorated in classic styles, often find curtains made from romantic lace and even velvet drapes with a decorative gold weave. In modern dining rooms wrinkled or flat roll-on screens and roller blinds, either monochrome or with some larger or smaller prints can be found.
Tablecloths and decorative pillows on the chairs also make for different decor, which are also important to harmonise with the basic colours and style of decoration. Stylistic coherence is also important when choosing jardinieres, vases and decorative fruit bowls, which are often placed in the centre of the table like a crown, unless it comes to an eclectic dining area. You can never go wrong if you choose beautiful Eames dining chairs.
Candlesticks, whether they are simple, high glasses or richly decorated metals, are always a welcome guest in every dining room, because they provide irreplaceable ambient lighting when having an evening meal, adding mystique of space, dynamics and warmth. On the walls of the dining room, especially those decorated in a rustic style, you can put decorative ceramic plates or wall murals (you can find affordable wall decals at www.pickawall.com.au), and while in modern spaces flat shelves for books, vases with flowers or some larger mirror will look good.

GET RID OF CLUTTER!The biggest thing that I see, both as a listing agent and when showing houses to a potential buyer, is unbelievable clutter in many houses. Junk everywhere. Clothes everywhere. Dishes and food lying around everywhere! Too much furniture in every room. Get rid of it! It is hard for most buyers to look beyond the clutter to see the underlying house for what it might be. Your stuff, no matter how much it might mean to you is just getting in the way. Get organized to attack this problem.
Clean the place up. Beyond clutter there is just common cleanliness. If your place smells bad or is excessively dirty, it’s a turn off that will sink the chances of anyone wanting to buy it or will cause them to low-ball the house, since they see a big clean up ahead. This is particularly true of anything that smells of mold or rot. Clean it up. Disinfect and get the smells out! Pay to have the carpets cleaned, so that the buyers won’t automatically be subtracting for replacing the carpets. Cobwebs, spider webs, dust bunnies, dirt tracked floors and other obvious signs of un-cleanliness are red flags to potential buyers that there may be other issues caused by the same slovenly behavior. If you have to, hire a cleaning crew to come in and give the place a good deep cleaning. 
Get on the “deferred maintenance” items. That’s a polite way of saying to do all of those little things that you’ve been meaning to get to or which you’ve just learned to live with; but, that need fixing. Put plug and switch covers on those open wiring boxes or replace the ones that broke. Replace that piece of shoe molding that the dog or cat crewed or clawed up or that door molding that got roughed up when you were moving something in or out. Replace those light bulbs that burned out and you never got around to replacing. Put up a new curtain rod to replace the one that pulled out of the wall when the cat got snagged on the curtain. Replace or fix that dripping faucet in the laundry room or in the bathroom. If you need help identifying these little projects, ask your Realtor to walk through the house and make recommendations. You know that those little maintenance jobs are there, but maybe you’ve been in denial so long that you just can’t see them anymore.
