Taking inspiration from holidays can give your kitchen a makeover of sorts, according to one report.Femail writer Candy Channing says it doesnt take a lot of imagination to transform an everyday British kitchen into a French holiday home cuisine.She believes there is something refreshingly novel about cooking in a kitchen with only the bare minimum of appliances and utensils to work with and that experience can continue after the tan has faded.Liberated from cupboards of stuff, you begin to realise quite how much of your kitchenalia you could actually do without.Ms Channing suggests incorporating open shelving to attractively display things that are used regularly, rather than squirreling things away at the backs of cupboards, where they are as good as useless.Her best buys for bringing your holiday home with you, include coloured glassware, wooden storage jars and bowls and patterned crockery.Teamed with a beach mat on the floor, sliced lemon on the chopping board and a shelf heaving with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, she says a kitchen will be transformed.Home and Garden Television this month reported that the way the sink, oven and fridge flow together is the key to any kitchen.
