Kitchen countertops can be difficult to balance between aesthetics and functionality. The appliances that you use on a daily basis usually take up more space than decorative items. But that doesn’t mean you need to skimp on stylish things guaranteed to brighten up your cooking space with pops of colour, natural textures, and even extra function.

The following ideas are plenty of ways you can strike a balance between pretty and practical. 

Make a Splash with a Statement Object

If you love the look of clean and uncluttered kitchen countertops, consider accessorizing with a single, statement-making object. 

Sprinkle Colour Throughout Your Kitchen

Note that you can use bright objects to draw people’s eyes around the room. For example, colourful knobs and handles, fruit bowl, or the kitchen dinnerware.

Warm Up a Cool Kitchen with Patterned Accents

You can use a patterned wallpaper for the black splash or an empty wall in the kitchen. 

 
Dress up Your Counters with Kitchen StaplesDress up your countertop with a nice mix of kitchen staples that are all aesthetically pleasing. The trick is to make everyday items like the bottled soap and lotion set, and scrub brush look more presentable by placing in small white caddies.

Decorative Dispensers Add Personality

Ideally, countertops would be clutter-free since less is more after all. It’s important, however, to choose decorative items to complement your kitchen. Cooking space should be adorned with fresh flowers and greenery. Another great trick worth stealing is decorative soap dispensers with appropriate messages.
