No, we’re not talking about the fridge, oven or dishwasher, consider replacing the much more inexpensive kettle, mixer or toaster in accent colours or even with woodgrain or cork. Result? An immediate lift! We love the Morphy Richards Cork Kettle $159, from Harvey Norman

One of the secrets to a better looking kitchen is organisation. You can keep your benchtops clear and ensure that clutter stays at bay by making the insides of your kitchen work harder. Well-labelled organised drawers and pantries will keep everything in place. We love these Tiny Me Pantry Labels from $20.
