5 Perfect Kitchen Upgrades for a New Look Without Remodeling

Almost every homeowner dreams of a brand new, state-of-the-art kitchen, but kitchen remodels are expensive and can often take months to complete. Fortunately, there are a few easy changes you can make which will give you the updated look you crave with significantly less cost with a kitchen upgrade. 

5 Perfect Kitchen Upgrades

Cabinets

Cabinets do not need to be replaced to change the look of your kitchen. Consider refacing which leaves the cabinet boxes in place and changes only the door style. Even a fresh coat of paint in a chic new color will dramatically change the look of your kitchen.

Backsplash and Countertops

The biggest impact you can make on your kitchen is to replace the backsplash and countertop. It’s also one of the most expensive. From bright subway tiles to subtle gray, blue and sand tones, a new backsplash and countertop will quickly change the feel of your space.

Lighting

Now is the time to remove the old fluorescent lights and replace them with LED bulbs and fixtures. There are a variety of options to compliment the style of your cabinet doors and hardware. You can really express your style and personality with lighting!

Hardware

A quick and inexpensive update is to change those old pulls and knobs. This is a simple change that can freshen the look fast. Try out button pulls in a different shape or metal or switch out linear pulls for something with curves.

Appliances

Dated black or white appliances can pull down the look of the kitchen. Modern stainless steel appliances have become affordable and come in updated colors like graphite to give your kitchen a little more personality.

Updating your kitchen doesn’t have to set you back tens of thousands of dollars. Take a quick inventory of the space and you’ll see that a few simple changes can make a huge difference in the look and feel of your kitchen.
