Top 5 Ways to Create a Light & Bright Kitchen
A light and bright kitchen can transform your whole home — it feels spacious, welcoming, and effortlessly stylish. Whether you’re planning a full renovation or a simple refresh, Krystal Kitchens in Basingstoke is here to help. With a large showroom, free parking, and expert designers on hand, we make your dream kitchen a reality.
Here are our Top 5 Ways to Create a Light & Bright Kitchen:
1. Choose Light-Coloured Cabinets
The easiest way to brighten your kitchen is with pale cabinetry. White, cream, light grey, or soft pastel tones reflect natural light, instantly making the space feel bigger and more open. Glossy finishes are especially good at bouncing light around the room.
Tip from our showroom experts: Try pairing light units with warm wood or textured accents to keep the look fresh, not clinical.
2. Maximise Natural Light
Let that sunshine in! If you’re planning a remodel, consider enlarging a window or adding a skylight. But even without major changes, removing heavy curtains or replacing dark blinds with sheer alternatives can work wonders.
Need help visualising it? Our free kitchen design service can help you plan around your home’s natural light.
3. Reflective Surfaces Are Your Friend
Glossy worktops, mirrored splashbacks, and polished tiles enhance the brightness of your kitchen by reflecting both natural and artificial light. Even small tweaks—like switching to a high-gloss backsplash—can make a big impact.
In-store now: Ask about our latest splashback offers and finish samples to see what works best for your space.
4. Add Smart Lighting Layers
Under-cabinet lighting, ceiling spots, and statement pendants can all work together to banish shadows and illuminate your space beautifully. Don’t rely on a single ceiling bulb — layering your lighting adds depth and ambience.
We’ll help you plan your lighting zones as part of our free design consultation.
5. Open Up the Space
Open shelving, glazed cabinet doors, and thoughtful layout changes can make a kitchen feel more open and airy. You don’t always need to knock down walls — even replacing some upper cabinets with open shelves can lighten the feel of the room.
Visit our Basingstoke showroom to see real-life examples of space-maximising layouts.
