The look of your kitchen can be changed with paint. Use vivid colors or dramatic contrasting tints for the top and bottom cabinets.
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.
Replace obsolete light fixtures with energy-efficient ones. Pendant lights over the kitchen island or sink add style.
Remove cabinet doors or build floating shelves for an open, airy feel. This lets you display pretty dishes or cookbooks to personalize the space.
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.
Upgrade to hardwood, tile, or luxury vinyl planks for shine. When money is limited, refinishing flooring may make them appear new again.
Buy energy-efficient stainless steel or smart appliances. This kitchen makeover improves functionality, energy efficiency, and modernizes it.
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.
