Many homeowners would like to update their kitchens without undertaking a major kitchen renovation, and with good reason. Kitchen renovations can be expensive and exhausting. There are several ways, however, to “refresh” your kitchen without renovating. These kitchen refresh ideas are relatively inexpensive and can even be done yourself!
A fresh coat of paint is arguably the easiest way to update any room in your home. In a kitchen, you have the choice of painting your walls, cabinets or both! White walls and cabinets are always a classic choice that may not seem super exciting, but will make your space feel bigger and look nice and clean. So timeless! If you’re looking for something a little more adventurous, try an olive green on your lower cabinets like this kitchen from the Little Green Notebook. Two-toned cabinets are a big trend right now and olive green is a versatile color that works like a neutral. Keep in mind that painting cabinets requires several steps, so make sure you read a few “how to” articles before you begin.
Adding or updating a backsplash may seem intimidating, but it is actually a fairly simple update. Depending on the materials you choose, it can also be very inexpensive. You can even do it yourself with a little preparation and research. Just make sure you watch some online tutorials before you begin. White subway tile looks great with almost any kitchen style and is simple to install. If you’re feeling ambitious or having a professional do the work for you, consider a more unique herringbone pattern – so beautiful!
