Even just a few years after a remodel, a space can become too familiar or stale. While most rooms in the house can be refreshed with only a few new touches, the kitchen is another story. Dominated by fixed cabinets and countertops, a quick kitchen makeover requires a bit more creativity. With these four steps, you can give your kitchen an updated look in just a day!
- Clear the clutter
First things first, get rid of the clutter. Clear the countertops, cabinets and find the expired foods in the pantry for a quick spring cleaning session. A clean kitchen will set the tone for your updated space. It’s amazing how clearing a space alone can make it feel new! - Swap out accents
Look around your kitchen and find the accents you’ve grown tired of or that can find a new place in your home. Swap out paintings, vases and other small accessories around the room. And, of course, add a vase of flowers for spring!
- Update knobs and handles
These smalls elements can instantly change the look of a kitchen. According to the style of your cabinets, you can opt for new, modern knobs with clean lines, such as these from Top Knobs. In a traditional kitchen, try adding texture with granite knobs. The possibilities are endless! - Pull out the paint
It may seem daunting, but painting can be done in a day and can make a dramatic difference in a room. If repainting the entire room isn’t a possibility, try an accent wall in the breakfast nook, touch up your existing paint, or, for some drama, paint your kitchen ceiling in a complimentary color to the walls.
These simple changes will wow your guests and create a new space for you to enjoy. We’d love to see the changes you make! Share photos with us on Facebook and find more kitchen inspiration on Pinterest.
