We all know that the kitchen is the hub of the home. We gather here to cook, to socialize, to relax – it’s a place we all come together and enjoy our time, and it’s a place you want to start when it comes to upgrading your home. Shaking up the kitchen isn’t always ripping the whole thing out and starting again. Sometimes, it’s the little changes that you can make that can truly transform the space.
Your kitchen may be the place you renovate first in the entire house because of the fact that you spend so much time in there! You can shop kitchen cabinet pulls and accessories at Access Residential Hardware, you can upgrade your appliances (big and small), and you can even paint the walls to change up the space. The kitchen deserves a little TLC from time to time and below, we’ve put together five ways you can shake up the kitchen.
- Change your accessories. There is such a thing as too many accessories for the kitchen – believe it or not! Yes, it’s nice to have quotes on wooden signs, and it’s lovely to add accessories in the form of fun, bright objects. The thing is, too much and you end up with an overly cluttered, crowded kitchen that definitely didn’t need twenty different mounted plates on the wall. Take it all down and assess the kitchen space that you have. You’ll be able to decide what looks good when you have a blank canvas to work with!
- Swap out the paint. If your kitchen is painted, it’s time for a new color. You know that a painted kitchen will stand out more than a kitchen left a neutral color. A bright color can be customized with your accessories, and it will immediately change the way the whole room is received by others, and change the way it looks. Painted kitchens look beautiful, and you can contrast the paint with the cabinetry and floor.
- Redo the worktops. Kitchen worktops are transformative for the space, whether you choose a black, sleek marble or you stick to laminate, you can do a lot of change with the kitchen simply by upgrading the counter space. You could even add or take away certain worktops to create some space. Speaking to a designer will help!
- Replace the tiles. Those tiles that you currently have in the kitchen will fade over time and replacing them will make a difference to how your kitchen looks. Whether it’s floor tiles or wall tiles, you can find those that will compliment each other. Kitchens are messy, so make sure that you don’t choose the wrong material!
- Update The Fixtures. You may not have a huge budget to rip out the kitchen, but those little fixes make all the difference. Fixtures such as the door handles and light switches will always benefit from a change, and this one tiny change can alter an entire kitchen look!
These five suggestions can shake up your kitchen instantly – why not try them now?
