Homeowners can boost the appearance of their kitchens by making simple, stylish additions, it has been claimed.Writing for the National Post, design commentator Samantha Pynn argued that certain elegant accessories can be the little black dresses of home decor.Ms Pynn referred to a stylish table lamp with a clear glass base which she suggested adds vibrancy to a room by manipulating the lighting.The base bounces light around the room and allows you to appreciate art, wallpaper or whatever you put behind or in front of it. This versatile lamp looks at home on a dining room server, on a bedside table, a desk, or even on a kitchen counter, she said.Elsewhere , Ms Pynn urged homeowners to invest in an attractive wooden dining table, noting that such an item works well in both modernist interiors and more rustic designs.Meanwhile, the Baltimore Sun reported this week that a couple were able to make their home kitchen more functional by installing a second kitchen sink.
