Odd question about my kitchen. Pics included

[Indecisiveragazza]

I have a stunning new kitchen. I love it but it’s too much like a showroom. Other than leaving it untidy or grubby how can I make it less showroom like? You see what I mean about an odd question!

ugh, can't edit !

Wow I love your kitchen OP, and your fairy lights :) It looks so beautiful, I like it as it is, I don't think you really need to add anything to make it look less showroomy.

It's a beautiful kitchen, I'd maybe add some feature plants , but it looks fine as it is.

It’s beautiful! I love those big windows

My mother says darkly, "Use it for six months!"

She's currently touching up her very beautiful solid wood kitchen on all the little corners where the paint has been dinged by rampaging nieces, grandson and giant idiot dog...

I've added a few wooden accessories to my "science lab". A little shallow tray by hob with salt pepper and oil (in nice containers), the same tray by kettle with matching jars for tea coffee sugar. A huge worn wooden chopping board.

It’s a lovely kitchen but my first thought is, with such big windows, the neighbours would have a full view into your kitchen when it’s dark out and your lights are on. I wouldn’t be able to mooch about in mismatched PJ’s stuffing a biscuit in my mouth without blinds

Stealth boast OP?!

Joking, I agree it's absolutely gorgeous. I'd love to live there! Also agree some fabric textures, huge vase of colourful real blooms.

Your cat is very lovely too.

It's gorgeous. It needs some softness imo though - a bespoke plush window seat, maybe?

It's divine, love the cat too,wondering do you have any blinds?

How do you reach the wine rack? That would concern me 😳

Thanks, all for your lovely comments and idea. Annasgirl.....of course you can keep the pics.
And yes, we have blinds.
It was designed by a designer in Glasgow. I can give details if you need them.

Userxx......steps!

You need books. Piles of recipe books.

Cover the island in Lego, paper and colouring pens, exercise books, water bottles and two school bags. That’s what I’ve done and it really takes off the “showroom” edge.

A beautiful space, it looks fantastic. Definitely greenery, whether that be house plants or fresh herbs

It's gorgeous! Some wooden items like chopping boards to warm it up a bit.

I have a question about your downdraft hob? Are those drawers underneath and if so how did it fit in? We are designing our kitchen just now and have been told the downdraft hob can't go above drawers?

Also what are your work surfaces made of, where are they from and are the edges mitred?

Bet the drawers are C shaped. We had them like that around a sink in a previous house.

I think you are missing a plant!

Graffiti.......directly below the hob is a false drawer but there are 2 real drawers below that. The work surfaces are granite and mitred.

It's stunning!

Some fresh flowers in a vase? A couple of nice tea towels for some texture. Maybe a rug 🙂
