With autumn on the way, and the promise of cooler weather ahead, it's a great time to refresh your kitchen so it's a cosier, more welcoming place on cold evenings.

<![CDATA[ <article> <p>With autumn on the way, and the promise of cooler weather ahead, it's a great time to refresh your kitchen so it's a cosier, more welcoming place on cold evenings. Shades of <strong>deep anthracite </strong>teamed with <strong>soft duck egg blue</strong> and <strong>natural wood </strong>create a look that's warm yet modern, and as TechRadar's Homes Editor, I've picked out a selection of IKEA cooking and storage solutions in these shades for an instant update. Giving your kitchen a lift for autumn doesn't have to be expensive, either; most of the items here are well under £10.</p><p>Storage items like <strong>cutlery caddies</strong>, <strong>drawer organisers</strong>, and <strong>knife racks</strong> are often overlooked, but are some of the easiest and cheapest ways to add a new accent colour to your kitchen. Also take a look at IKEA's ranges of <strong>coloured cutlery</strong>, which will bring that new shade to every meal and make your place settings look strikingly different.</p><p>Everyday pieces of cookware like <strong>baking bowls </strong>and <strong>spatulas</strong> are also great ways to update your kitchen without spending a fortune. Add a couple of new <strong>mugs</strong> and <strong>drinking glasses</strong>, and you'll have a fresh new look for under £20.</p><h3 class="article-body__section"
