Neither too big or too small, we love the kitchen in the above image as it presents a nice balance in terms of layout. This kitchen has plenty of storage and an island that allows for shorter movements between various sections of the kitchen. Ergonomics is a characteristic that is too rarely taken into account when designing a kitchen.

One of the most accessible projects to transform your home is to change the wall covering. When discussing wall covering materials and techniques, most people will first think about paint, forgetting that there are plenty of other options. Paint is a versatile product while being relatively accessible in terms of how it is applied and is generally inexpensive. On the other hand, some may consider alternative options such as wallpaper, decorative panels, stone or wood, as in the example presented in the image above.
