If it was a kitchen adjoining a dining area then perhaps it could be altered to be 'more' appealing.
As it is,it is what it is, a kitchen,a functional place where meals are prepared. then the place is cleaned up afterwards.
So it is dull, at least it looks really clean and everything in place,that would be more important for me.

It is hardly where people are going to sit all day.
