It seems like more and more people are getting involved in DIY projects for their home. They may want a little upgrade or maybe just want to add a fresh new look to their room. Simply adding a few splashes of color and changing a few items around can give a space like your kitchen, a fresh new look without the expensive price tag.
The kitchen is always one of the spaces that your family and your guests will gather. Updating your kitchen will keep your room a place you can enjoy cooking in and gathering with friends and family. Let’s see 7 easy ways you can improve your kitchen, keeping it a place that you can love and cherish.
Lighting
Changing out light fixtures is a great way to add some improvement to your kitchen without breaking the bank. You can change out the can lights above your island and put in some pendant lights. Finding a fixture that has a splash of color and texture will give it a look that suits the eye. Another great way to work with the lighting is by adding lighting under your kitchen cabinets. Adding under cabinet lighting can not only give you better light when you are cooking, but if you purchase dimming lights, you can give your kitchen an ambience that everyone will enjoy.
Add a Rug
Changing out old, outdated flooring can become costly. Adding a rug can add color, texture and cover up your outdated flooring, giving it a fresh, new look.
Change the Hardware and Switch Plates
Switching out your old cabinet hardware with new, updated hardware can give your cabinets a brand-new look. Sometimes that plain contractor-grade hardware must go so you can give your kitchen the mini makeover it needs. Also, switching out plain switch plates can give that extra upgraded look that doesn’t cost much.
Time for a New Faucet
If you purchased a home that was recently remodeled, sometimes contractor-grade hardware, faucets and other accessories were put in. Simply switching out the plain kitchen faucet can give your sink the sparkle an accessory is meant to do.
Color
Sometimes white walls just want to be given some color. Painting your kitchen walls something more vibrant will surely give your kitchen the feel of an upgrade. If you have a big, blank wall in your kitchen, maybe consider adding wallpaper to add a fun pattern and texture to a drab kitchen.
Shelves
If your space permits it, adding some floating shelves is another great way to give your room some interest. Add nice dishes or glasses or even some leaned artwork to the shelves, giving it a nice modern look.
Seating
Does your kitchen have an island with the space for barstools? Change out those plain, bland barstools and give it a modern look. Or maybe your kitchen is all-white. Barstools are an easy way to add in pops of color, patterns and texture to give a fun, modern contrast that everyone will love!
Your friends and family will be sure to love all the small changes you make to your kitchen and you will enjoy it more too! Kitchens can be expensive to remodel, but you do not have to pay the big bucks to make a big impact in your outdated kitchen.
