Transform your kitchen with roller blinds

With just a few moderations, a dark and dingy kitchen can be transformed into a light, welcoming space.

Additions such as brightly coloured roller blinds can improve the mood of a kitchen, according to decorating expert and iVillage.com writer Susanna Salk.

Simple things like giving the ceiling a fresh lick of paint also enhance a cooking area, Ms Salk explains.

Other recommendations include replacing upper cabinets with open shelving to create more space, while replacing dull, faded drawer handles with new silver ones is also suggested as a good idea.

Adding a striking chandelier to the ceiling can also help to balance a room’s features, the design expert advises.

When fitting new lights in a kitchen, it is important to think about the shadows they will cast over the cooking and preparation areas, DIYDoctor.org highlights.

A recent essortment.com article advised homeowners they could add a personalised touch to roller blinds by decorating them using stencils.
