Refresh Your Summer Kitchen

Summer is finally here! Time for refreshing mornings, warm afternoons, and comfortable evenings. While summertime is all about enjoying the great outdoors, your kitchen plays a big role in creating all the summer feels. From hosting backyard BBQs to freshly squeezed lemonade, summer begins in the kitchen. Use these tips to get freshen up your kitchen in time for summer.

Bring In The Light

Winter hibernation time is over! Revitalize your kitchen with a little natural lighting. Replace dreary window treatments that block out light with sheer curtains that give your kitchen a vibrant glow while blocking out direct sunlight. Or remove your curtains entirely and let the sun do its thing!

Clear Your Surfaces

Now that you have a little light shining on your countertops, it’s time to get them in ship-shape. Since summer is about easy living and spontaneous entertaining, there’s no time to waste rushing to get your kitchen ready for drop-in guests. Evaluate the “stuff” on your kitchen surfaces and find a new place for the things that aren’t used every day. By getting rid of the excess, you’ll be able to get even a messy kitchen ready for summer entertaining in no time.

Add Those Summer Tones

Those darker, bolder colors were fine for the cold crisp winter, but now it’s time to liven up your kitchen with some lovely summertime hues. Find your own summer inspo in your very backyard. Sky blues, vibrant foliage, zesty green grass, and golden sunshine work together to create the perfect summer palette. Or maybe you prefer the best hues of the beach, including sea greens, wispy blues, peachy pinks, and sandy neutrals. Bring these hues to your kitchen through dinnerware, display pieces, and dish towels.

Bring The Outdoors Inside

Cure those summertime blues with all the beautiful foliage summer has to offer. Start a window herb garden for fresh flavor in your dishes (and mojitos!), grab a beautiful vase for some freshly cut flower arrangements, or hang some low-maintenance air plants to give your kitchen a tropical feel.

Keep Beautiful Glassware On Hand

Summer entertaining is all about the refreshing drinks. Enjoy pleasant conversation over a glass of the best summertime drinks, such as raspberry peach lemonade, fresh cherry limeade, pineapple orange smoothie, or any mouth-watering drink recipe from Pinterest. Presentation is everything when it comes to hosting, so keep a collection of beautiful pitchers and fancy glasses appropriate to serve your big or little guests.

How do you get your kitchen to feel like summertime?
