Add a copper sink
Copper is a hugely on-trend material, with a long history of use in the kitchen. Usually, though, it is made into pots, but here, it has been fashioned into a sink. More humble than marble and nicely artisanal in feel, a copper sink is an unusual, stylish addition.

Seek alternative handles
Metal, wood and ceramic are familiar materials for handles and knobs, but by sourcing something a little more unusual, you can give your kitchen its own original style. Here, leather strap handles tone in beautifully with the wooden worktop, but it’s the element of surprise that they carry that really captures the eye and the imagination.

Light it up
Kitchens often feature integrated spotlights and task lighting, but adding a more decorative table lamp to a work surface or sideboard can instantly give a very different feel to the room.

Soften stainless steel
Stainless steel is a great material for a worktop, and much-used in professional kitchens. This kitchen shows how it can be made to look soft and neat, rather than seriously industrial, by being framed by the plywood trim of the cabinets.

Hang some art
In the quest to make a kitchen practical, we sometimes forget to style it like any other room. Hanging art in a kitchen, close to units and equipment, extends the style found in other areas of the house into this very practical space. This framed painting beautifully matches the cabinets and splashback, too.

Make it mirrored
Antiqued mirrored glass brings a softly reflective element to a room and makes a wonderful material for a splashback. It’s practical and easy to wipe down, but it also boosts the feeling of space and creates depth.

Work with paint
A painted kitchen with panelled walls is the perfect canvas for a creative paint job. Use paint to create the illusion of a splashback or deep upstand, running around the whole room. You can even continue this line to include the bottom section of any cabinets that are hung across it, as shown here.

Create a cool kickboard
Kickboards can be something of an afterthought and generally match the cabinets above, but they don’t have to. Here, a stainless-steel kickboard creates a reflective, almost glowing strip at the base of these wooden units. It’s a nice, but very subtle contrast of materials.

Add a vintage piece
Teaming contemporary and vintage pieces is a mix-and-match approach that works brilliantly in other rooms, but is not often used in a kitchen. But hanging a vintage display case in a kitchen to supplement built-in contemporary storage brings masses of personality and lovely visual variety, too.

Integrate herb storage
Pots of fresh herbs cluttering up your windowsill? Who says they must always be stored there? A clever alternative is to integrate a trough into a worktop where fresh herbs can sit neatly. A simple open rack, hung on the wall, would make another good alternative.
