Kitchens are often the most important room in the home, which is why it’s so vital to many that they design it in a way that they are proud of and can show off.

More often than not, even having stuff all over your countertops, such as knife racks or even cookbooks, can make draw your eyes to the spaces that are filled and make it appear a lot fuller than it actually is. Even by clearing your worktops, you can make your kitchen seem a lot more clearer and brighter, as your eyes won’t be attracted to those spaces that are filled with clutter.
