Bored of your ho-hum narrow kitchen? Take a drab space to new exciting heights with a few simple, decorative touches. Focus on where the light comes in (even if there’s only one tiny window), and swap out blinds for a modern shade. And please don’t neglect the floor. Broad horizontal stripes will make the space feel bigger. If you don’t have the time (or the budget) to install new flooring, a runner can get the job done.
