Bring Families Closer Together

It’s not just a rumor that kitchen tables bring families closer together. By having regular meals around a table such as the Kitchen Breakfast Table from At Home Furniture, families can talk about their day, and there’s time for parents or kids to bring up any personal issues to get solutions. It’s a great setting too to encourage kids to feel they belong within a loved family environment, which can boost their self-confidence significantly during the important development years.

Finishes a Room Design

Whether your home has a modern design or is more traditional in style, a kitchen table can fully finish off the space. It provides a great way to bring together all of the different elements of a room, including sculptures and any hanging artwork. If you add a centerpiece to your table, choose a color that complements the room accessories and wall color to make the space feel both welcoming and stylish.

How to Bring Your Bistro Kitchen to Life

Today’s bistro kitchen is quite a popular home decor trend. And, there is so much more to it than the traditional 19th century French design elements. In fact, many bistro kitchens today incorporate modern elements. Here are great ways to bring your bistro kitchen to life.

Get the Perfect Bistro Set

Of course, the kitchen needs a bistro set for you and your family to enjoy meals. A great trendy choice is the Loft Kitchen Bistro Set from At Home Furniture. It has four solid wooden chairs andround table with white melamine top. The set easily fits within many room colour schemes and has a crisp, clean look. A chrome frame on the chairs and table has a shining, classic look. And, the white table instantly adds a pop of brightness to your kitchen.

Go with Marble

For a kitchen countertop or backsplash (or both), try upgrading to marble. The surfaces look refined, and they are high quality too. One popular choice for bistro kitchens is white marble with grey lines through it. A great thing about going neutral white is that you change the curtains, window shades and other accessories of the room whenever you want to, without having to worry that the countertop no longer matches. 

Change the Wall Colours

Painting the walls of your bistro kitchen are a great way to freshen up the room, and it is relatively inexpensive. Not sure which colours to choose? Pick out colours which suit the current season, such as bright turquoise in summertime. Or, decide on a colour that you will like all year long, such as a soft yellow shade of paint. You’ll be amazed at how different the space looks when you change the colour!

Of course, the exact ways you bring your bistro kitchen to life depends on your style preferences, size of the room and functionality. Pick one or all of the above options and decide how best to apply them to your own kitchen. Find more kitchen furniture to reinvent your space, from At Home Furniture today.
