Out of any room, in our home we probably spend the most amount of time in our kitchens. As we spend so much time in this room, it is no surprise that many of us would love the opportunity to give our kitchens a facelift this year with a fresh makeover. No matter if your kitchen budget is big or small, even subtle changes can help you give your kitchen a much needed makeover this year. Try a few of these ways to give your kitchen a fresh look.
Give Kitchen Cabinet Doors A New Look
Giving your kitchen cabinets a new look will not only transform your kitchen, but it is probably the most inexpensive cost to a kitchen makeover that you will have. While having new custom made kitchen cabinets installed can make any kitchen look fantastic, a way to save money could be just to replace the doors. If you love your kitchen cabinet doors but are looking to give them a subtle new look, head down to your local hardware store and change the handles for an easy way to update your doors. If your cabinet doors are a little worse for wear, try giving them a fresh coat of paint or even removing your cabinet doors altogether to display your dishes in a more open way. When it comes to your cabinets, there are always some easy ways to update your kitchen cabinets.
Select A Few Items And Put Them On Display
If you have a wall in your kitchen that is looking a little bare, select a few personal items and mount them on the wall to give your kitchen a fun and unique look. Take that unique china plate that your Grandma gifted you, or that vintage “chef” sign that you picked up at a flea market that is collecting dust in your home and mount them to your kitchen wall. By selecting a few of your favorite and unique items and displaying them in your kitchen, it will give your kitchen a one of a kind feel.
Have Fun With The Backsplash
It seems like in any kitchen remodel, the backsplash is one of the main focuses, as it should be. By choosing a creative or fun backsplash design, you can really highlight the kitchen in your home. If you are having a hard time picking a kitchen backsplash, Stephen Kahn, president of Anchor Bay Tile in Arizona, suggests taping color and tile samples to the walls in your kitchen to see how those samples are affected by the natural light throughout the course of the day.
So whether you are renovating your kitchen yourself or hiring a professional for a custom kitchen remodel, use a few of these tips to give one of the most used rooms in your home a fresh and updated look.
