1. Cozy Up the Work Space: A colorful or patterned rug instantly gives your kitchen a boost of personality and comfort.
2. Refreshing Change: The quickest way to rev up your kitchen’s style quotient is to roll on a fresh coat of paint.
3. Stylish Faucets: Spruce up your kitchen sink with a new faucet.
4. Bright Ideas: Updating your kitchen’s style might be as simple as looking overhead. Consider switching out an old light over an island for a more personalized look.
5. Cabinet Hardware Update: Give your cabinets a boost with fresh hardware.
6. Open Up: To give your kitchen a major style update, forgo ordinary kitchen cabinets and incorporate open shelving.
7. Window Dressing: A kitchen with windows offers an opportunity to incorporate storage in unexpected ways.
8. Weathered and Worn: No matter how dismal outdated cabinets might look, there’s usually nothing a bit of paint can’t fix.
9. Styled in Tile: A tiled backsplash adds waterproof character to the often-damp area behind the sink, where wallpaper or paint might become a problem.
10. Newfound Storage: Put a sliver of unused wall to work with a stack of shallow shelves that showcase festive dishware or extra stemware.
11. Changing Identities: Improve the functionality of your kitchen — without spending a lot — by transforming an old furniture piece into a work space.
12. An Arm’s Reach Away: If you struggle with limited cabinet space, free up a significant amount by installing a pot rack.
