• While closed cabinets allow you to neatly store appliances and organize serving ware, too many cabinets can leave your kitchen space feeling confined.  Try breaking up cabinet overload with floating shelves. Not only will they help give the space an open, airier feel, but still provide a place where you can keep and display your favourite dining pieces.

• Even the best planned dining areas can use a refresher. Instead of replacing staple items like your dinette set, try only making changes to the space’s accents. New drapes, place settings and seat upholstery can offer the boost you’re after without putting a strain on your budget.

• Scent plays a key role in the way we respond to a space and can make an important difference in your home. Whether you prefer the smell of lilac or fresh linen, adding an aromatherapy candle or tabletop diffuser is one of the easiest ways to revive your eating area.
