Your kitchen is the foundation of your home. Revamping a kitchen should not be a hard task that will cost a fortune. Whether you are renting or you are an owner, learn quick ways to give that kitchen a new look.
Repaint cabinets
If the front of your cabinets look a bit faded, or you want a different color from the standard white cabinets, add a fresh coat of paint. Consider greens and shades of blue or biscuit that induce your appetite. If you want a kitchen that injects some joie de vivre in your day, go with orange cabinetry.
Display beautiful items
Kitchens are not just places to cook and do dishes, so style up your kitchen with decorative items. Items like your fine china or beautiful glass jars give your kitchen a stylish feel if displayed properly. Storage urns have also been made prettier so they store your sugar and salt while looking fabulous at the same time.
Add art
Just like any other space in your house, a kitchen needs art. There is several options to choose from. Wall ledges, framed pictures, DIY art projects and quirky kitchen equipment made into art. Avoid using canvas or fabric art in the kitchen since they get messy because of the steam from frying and cooking.
Paint and wallpaper
Kitchen walls are covered in cabinetry and some in wall tiles and backsplash. However, there is that bit of blank wall space left in every kitchen that can use some paint or wallpaper while decorating. If your cabinets are a neutral color, a bold color of paint or bold-patterned wallpaper will give your kitchen a different look.
Open shelves display
If you have open shelving or see-through glass cabinetry, put your utensils on display. Group like-colored items and utensils together. This orderliness will give a feel of bigger shelf space than you have as well as a beautiful display for your kitchen. You can bring the outdoors indoor by placing your potted herbs on the open shelves.
Utilize space above top cabinets
The space between the top of your cabinet and the ceiling remains under-utilized when it can in essence be useful for extra storage. Use wicker baskets, wire baskets or plastic storage containers to store items that you do not use frequently.
Place your baskets aligned on this space. Vases and old collected bottles can also be used to fill this space.
