But we're here to let you in on a little secret - you don't have to be an expert to bring style to your kitchen. All you need is our pro tips to help you develop your keen sense of style that you can transfer to the heart of your home. So brace yourself because here's how to take your kitchen from fine to fabulous!

#1 Think about your layout first

Always keep in mind that style in the kitchen is nothing without function. So when renovating a kitchen, the first and probably the most critical thing to consider is its layout. If the kitchen's layout doesn't work, it won't matter what color it is or how nice the appliances are.

Even minor adjustments to an existing kitchen layout can significantly impact the room's functionality. Once you empty the space before your renovation, you'll get an opportunity to see the room's full potential and possibly make adjustments.

However, it's always worth mentioning how important it is to be careful and avoid injuries during renovation. Heavy lifting is one of the most common causes for them. So the best way to go is to let the experts handle this. There are plenty of moving services, including hiring furniture movers and renting storage for keeping your belongings while the works are in progress.

#2 Choose the right lighting fixtures

If you have standard, generic fixtures in your kitchen, it's time for a change. Switch things up and inject some character into the space that gets the most use in your home. Light fixtures such as chandeliers and pendants can improve the kitchen's luster and provide a new tone

Proper lighting fixtures can help you set the right mood and be a very stylish accessory for your kitchen.

#3 Refresh your cabinets

If you're still in love with your cabinets but feel something's missing, why not update them and make them more stylish? The easiest way to go is to replace your current doors. You can also refresh your old cabinet doors if you want something unique.

This is as simple as sanding and repainting the existing door. Install glass or high-gloss doorways to add a touch of glitz, or leave part of your cabinets doorless to create open shelves for your finest possessions. To bring style to your kitchen cabinets, install one-of-a-kind cabinet door knobs.

#4 Spruce up your sink

Most of us keep a dish or hand soap close to the sink. However, with a little effort, this space may be transformed into a chic storage solution. Put something down as a basis, such as a tray or a trivet, and try to find soaps that come in lovely containers, like ceramic pumps. Adding indoor plants and a candle can also increase its aesthetic appeal.

#5 Plants are always in style

Inviting nature into your home is a great way to refresh your space in a stylish way. And fresh flowers are the best option. As avid flower admirers, we think the kitchen bench is a great spot to showcase a beautiful bouquet, as it is one of the most visible areas of the home.

Don't shy away from adding house plants to your home, too. Besides looking lovely, plants in your home help you lower your environmental footprint. Sustainability has been in style for a while now and is here to stay. So go a step further and enrich your space with sustainable decor.

#6 Elevate your kitchen with art

Adding art to your kitchen, or any other area in your home, is a terrific way to make a statement. Going big and bold can make the room seem larger. But even a simple painting or framed photo can transform a dull kitchen into a showpiece.

Don't worry about hanging artwork on the wall if you don't have room; set it on a tabletop or shelf. And remember - art doesn't only come in the form of paintings and photographs. You can add unique glass pottery or introduce art through your backsplash.

#7 Add a rug

Even though they're practical, many people avoid using tiles in the kitchen because standing on a hard surface for an extended time can cause discomfort in the feet and legs. Instead of tiles, you can opt for some lovely and affordable rugs that can hide dirt and spills. Plus, it can be a way to add a pop of color to your kitchen.

Adding a rug is a great way to bring style to your kitchen and make it cozier.
