So your kitchen somehow feels “off.” Perhaps its design and decor don’t suit your tastes. Maybe it doesn’t feel as functional or comfortable as you think it should be. Or maybe it has started to show its age and could use an update.
Whatever concerns you may have with your kitchen, there’s only one guaranteed solution to improve it—and that’s a kitchen remodel. But where do you start with a project like this? We have listed here five ways you can get started with improving your kitchen.
Change Your Kitchen Lights
Lights may be just lights to some people, but that’s not the case for a kitchen. Your kitchen’s lighting affects your appearance. Dull lights make your kitchen gloomy, while brighter lights allow you to see everything. If they’re too bright, though, they can make your space look sterile. On the other hand, poor light placement can highlight the wrong things, but proper arrangement allows the light to shine where it’s needed.
If you’re already satisfied with your leading kitchen lights, you may add decorative lights instead. Decorative kitchen lights add personality to your kitchen and can influence its mood. They can also bring balance to your kitchen’s overall design.
Use Color Your Advantage
Your kitchen doesn’t have to be plain and boring, so bring life to it by adding color. You can turn one wall into a statement wall by painting it a bright and bold hue. A backsplash with colorful ceramic tiles can breathe magic into your kitchen. Or you can replace your flooring with vividly designed tiles.
If you don’t want to do anything radical now, you can add color splashes with tools and utensils that you can also use daily. You can display colorful cookware or dishes prominently on your shelves. Or just put a vase on your counter and fill it with fresh flowers regularly.
Liven Your Space with Art
Another way you can improve your kitchen is by adding one or two art pieces. An antique statement vase or a small figurine on your countertop can do the trick. Or you can hang a painting you enjoy on one wall. If you don’t have space for artwork in your kitchen as it currently is, you can have shelves built on the top of your cabinets and put your art there.
Upgrade Your Fixtures
Sometimes, all you need to do to improve your kitchen is to replace your appliances and fixtures. Check your cabinet doors and faucets. Do they look worn-out or old-fashioned? What about your appliances—do they look like relics from the 80s? Perhaps your countertops look worn-down too? Minor remodeling work like replacing old appliances and fixtures can do wonders to your kitchen’s appearance, not to mention functionality.
