Tips and trends for renovating your holiday house kitchen for all seasons
The kitchen is heart of the home – and that goes for the holiday home too.
It’s the place where hungry guests congregate to talk or watch as you prepare an amazing meal, glass of wine in hand.
It’s the room the kids first run to when they first wake up, and where holiday memories are made with siblings, cousins and friends.
And while it may seem far away now, the best time to start planning a kitchen refresh is during the depths of winter.

Depending on your budget, and the style and shape your holiday property’s kitchen is in, renovating your holiday house kitchen can breathe new life into your space, creating a fresh and inviting atmosphere for the summer season.
If you’re wanting to increase functionality, incorporate stylish designs, or embrace sustainable options, here’s some tips for transforming your holiday house – whether it’s by the beach, bush, lake or snow.
Personality is key
Adding a splash of colour to your holiday home kitchen is the perfect way to show off your personality and the beauty of your location. For example, adding shades of navy and white to a coastal kitchen is fantastic for bringing the ocean aesthetic indoors. From elegant marble splashbacks to granite countertops, you can also use different materials and textures to bring a subtle or bold pop of colour into your holiday home kitchen.
Don’t be afraid to be eclectic: your grandma’s old blue-and-white porcelain crockery can absolutely sit beside a quirky, mid-century vase or a contemporary appliances like the built-in NEFF double oven, which looks as sleek as it is functional with various high-tech features that are perfect for baking, roasting and heating any meal/
Add smart appliances
As technology continues to advance, integrating smart features into your holiday house kitchen is an emerging trend worth considering.
Smart appliances such as the NEFF Semi-integrated Dishwasher which can be controlled with the touch of a (smartphone) button, and built-in fully automatic NEFF coffee machine offer convenience and efficiency, allowing you to control and monitor them remotely through your smartphone or voice commands. You can cook and enjoy a perfectly slow cooked meal, all the while relaxing on a hammock by the beach or on the front porch of your woodland cabin.
These appliances can streamline your cooking process and enhance your overall experience, ensuring your holiday house kitchen is equipped with the latest technology.
Statement Lighting Fixtures
Lighting plays a vital role in setting the ambiance of any space, and the kitchen is no exception. Statement lighting fixtures are a growing trend in kitchen renovations, adding a focal point and enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the room.
Consider installing a dazzling chandelier above the dining area, or a series of pendant lights over the kitchen island. These eye-catching fixtures can serve as conversation starters or resale features, while providing ample illumination for cooking and entertaining.
And if you’re looking for appliances that won’t detract from your personal style – look no further than NEFF.

Having a spacious kitchen gives you the room you and your family need to grow. Ample kitchen space also promotes versatility. Whether it’s baking cookies with the grandkids during winter or enjoying fish and chips after a beach day, a spacious kitchen can help you and your family create memories that will last a lifetime.
