5Ways To Turn Your Kitchen From Dowdy To Dashing
- Tired of the way your kitchen looks? You know it needs a change, but you
don’t want to take months remodeling the entire kitchen? I know how you feel.
Here are a few things I have found that can completely transform the look of
your kitchen without the hassle of a remodel. And here are some tips about 5 Ways To Turn Your Kitchen From Dowdy To
Dashing.
Paint
Painting is a great way
to completely change the look of your kitchen. A coat of paint will make the
walls look new again, and adding an accent color will change the mood of the
room. Even if you keep the walls the same color and just add one accent wall,
it will improve the look of the room.
If you do not want to
tackle the walls, consider painting the cupboards. Chose a color or colors that complement the cabinet’s
original color; unless you also use a primer, the original color will affect
the tone of the finished product. Chose a solid color, two-tone, or a mix of
color so that the cabinets pop and create a new, eye-catching look for the
heart of your home.
Faucets
Changing from the plain
sink faucet you have had forever to a new, modern looking one will help make
your entire kitchen look new and modern. You may want to get a drain inspection
done while changing faucets, just to make sure the pipes are clean and clear
and ready for your shiny upgrade.
Flooring
Flooring can be one of
the more expensive upgrades you can do for your kitchen, but it is also very
effective. You do not have to tear out your entire floor to put new flooring
in; in some cases you can just put the new right on top of the old. If you pick
new linoleum, tile, or wood that reflects light, it will make your whole
kitchen brighter and more welcoming.
Decor
Changing the decor
around your kitchen will change the whole look of the room with very little
work. Add a table lamp to the island or bar, a colorful fruit basket, or a vase
of flowers (real or fake) to add a pop of color. You could also purchase a pot
and pan suspender, which will not only free up space in your cupboards but also
make them more accessible.
You could also plant
herbs and place them in the windowsill for a fresh look and on-hand cooking
ingredients. Install or replace handles on cabinets to create a certain look,
and change your lighting fixture to create more light and alter the atmosphere.
Even something as simple as moving the knife block and toaster from where
they’ve been the last few years to a new place can freshen things up.
Appliances
This is also on the
more expensive end of possible upgrades, but changing out mismatched, fading,
yellowing, faded, or dented appliances for something new can alter the look of
your kitchen in a remarkable and amazing way.
