8 Kitchen Remodel Ideas, From Small DIY Projects to Gut Renovations 

Here are eight ideas for remodeling your kitchen, ranging from easy projects you can do yourself to full gut jobs:  

The look of your kitchen can be changed with paint. Use vivid colors or dramatic contrasting tints for the top and bottom cabinets.  

Refresh Cabinets with Paint or New Hardware 

 1

A backsplash is a fun way to add color, texture, or pattern to your kitchen. Peel-and-stick tiles are cheap and easy for DIYers, while subway tiles and mosaic designs are ageless.

 2

Replace obsolete light fixtures with energy-efficient ones. Pendant lights over the kitchen island or sink add style.  

 3

Update Lighting Fixtures 

Remove cabinet doors or build floating shelves for an open, airy feel. This lets you display pretty dishes or cookbooks to personalize the space.

Open Shelving 

 4

Replace laminate counters with granite, quartz, or butcher block to improve the kitchen's appearance. Epoxy countertop kits are a cheaper DIY stone-like option.  

New Countertops 

 5

Upgrade to hardwood, tile, or luxury vinyl planks for shine. When money is limited, refinishing flooring may make them appear new again.  

Replace or Refinish Flooring 

 6

Buy energy-efficient stainless steel or smart appliances. This kitchen makeover improves functionality, energy efficiency, and modernizes it.  

Upgrade Appliances 

 7

For a more dramatic project, remove a wall to create an open kitchen. For a fresh area, a full gut makeover may involve reworking the layout, installing new cabinetry, plumbing, and electrical work.
