Kitchens nowadays mean more than a man – woman – or anyone standing and slaving for hours to make delicious dishes. It is an important space that becomes essential for entertaining guests as people cluster around the island talking, laughing, and enjoying a sumptuous glass of wine or two.
Having an atmosphere that entertains your guests is essential and kitchens are now sometimes more busier during a party or social gatherings or even potlucks. What if the house you brought though continues to have an ancient kitchen that you are afraid to show to your guests?
Here are some tips to revolutionize your kitchen even if you are renting your own:

Interior Design Lauren Liess transformed her boring kitchen by using simple chalkboard paint after she had a problem with the stainless steel paint she had initially wanted to use on her fridge and now she will never look back. While this idea may not be suitable for apartment/home renters, it certainly is one that works for you if you are a homeowner and is a simple way to make your kitchen have a unique touch to it. You can use the chalkboard for anything – from making lists to even playing games with your friends whom you are entertaining.

If your kitchen space allows for it, you can create extra space by hanging a pot rack or a pegboard. Both of which are well within the renter’s right and open up extra space allowing you to practice your skills to becoming the next Masterchef or simply enjoying the simple joys of cooking.
