Designers all agree that these 7 kitchen features are always eyesores – and what you should do about them

Small white L-shaped kitchen with wall panelling and green cabinetry.

Even the most spendy kitchen can be brought down by a few ill-judged design decisions or overlooked details. Some are too tragic to dwell on – we’re looking at you, Live, Love, Laugh wall art – while others, like the slowly browning bananas on a hanging hook, get a free pass for at least trying to be healthy. But most are simply destined to make your space feel messier, more chaotic, and unmistakably dated. These are the ones that need to get in the sea – and take any dodgy artwork along with them.

Happily, many of the most offensive kitchen eyesores can be easily avoided with a little forward planning and the right design tweaks. So, if you’re on the hunt for kitchen ideas that will genuinely improve the look and feel of your space, this one’s for you.
