Desperate to upgrade your kitchen but don’t have the budget to make your vision come to life? Not all upgrades have to be expensive! If you want to bring a new spark of life to your kitchen without breaking the bank then there are a couple of easy projects you can tackle!
A little paint can go a long way in making your kitchen feel like new! Painting cabinets is a hot trend right now and it’s easy to see why. Painted cabinets add tons of visual interest and can help give a necessary contrast to the rest of your kitchen’s design. However, sometimes the best way to make a statement is to only paint your upper or your lower cabinets. Painting lower cabinets a darker color and leaving the upper cabinets white can make your kitchen feel more open, which is always a plus! You should also consider painting your backsplash if you’re able to. The empty wall space between the end of the backsplash and the bottom of the cabinets is the perfect place to add some color and character. Paint this area with a high-gloss paint to make it easy to clean, too!
Another popular trend these days is to add wallpaper to the inside of cabinets. It’s an easy way to add lots of texture and interest to a space. It’s also a great way to tie together your design, inside and out! Bonus points for having cabinets with a glass front or open cabinets so that the wallpaper is always on display.
If you’re up for a little more work then you should try seeking out a vintage piece of furniture to add to your kitchen or go the extra mile and re-tile your backsplash. Both of these ideas can result in a complete change in the feel of the room. A vintage island or an old chandelier will really transform your space! The backsplash is also one of the defining features in the kitchen, so a quick upgrade of the tile might be all you need to do to bring new life to the kitchen.
These ideas are quick, easy, and affordable! And they’re guaranteed to make you fall in love with your kitchen all over again.
