Your kitchen isn't just for cooking, you also spend a sizable amount of your time there throughout the day. When you have to be in a certain area 3 times a day, the last thing you want is a cold and clinical feel, your kitchen should be just as friendly as the rest of your home. With shiny and modern appliances, it can be difficult to get that cozy feel we all love and need for those far too early breakfasts- but don't worry, here are 3 ways the experts say are definite musts for a homely and cosy kitchen.

1. Cushioned benches
   Searching for a way to get the most seating for the least price? Benches are not only super cheap but also super stylish and great for putting your feet up at the end of a long day.
2. Section off areas
   For some people, having a large kitchen is the stuff of dreams, but, if you're not careful- what should be some much needed and used space could end up looking too open and cold. Wait, don't start looking for a new place just yet. Why not take matters into your own hands? Using a small table and chairs is a great way to section off a small area without having to do any actual work. Choose a spot near or along a wall and use chairs to cut that area off from the rest of the room. 
3. Don't forget comfort
   When it comes to kitchen decor we tend to go for what's easier to clean, but it doesn't always have to be that way. Think about what you're doing and how it's going to be used, and if you can, get creative and use comfortable textures that you might not normally find in the kitchen. Even a soft and fluffy tea cosy can make all the difference to an overall look!
