8 Ways to Refresh Your Kitchen without a Full Renovation

Enjoy the following pic ideas. Don't forget to leave us a quick comment below.

And please share this post within your social networks.

  • Does your kitchen need a good sprucing up? Before you dive headfirst into a full renovation, you might want to check your savings. HomeAdvisor estimates that standard kitchen remodels cost anywhere from $13,000 to $37,000.

    While the dream kitchen reno is feasible for some, many homeowners might need to cut back and find more affordable options. But don't worry! There are plenty of creative ways to refresh your kitchen without a full renovation.

    Here are some smart tips and tricks to give your kitchen a much-needed facelift.

1: Add new hardware and trim accents

Notes:

  • Adding new hardware and trim accents is a super-easy way to refresh your kitchen. Replacing your kitchen cabinet hardware, such as cabinet knobs and drawer pulls, can give your kitchen a finishing touch. Plus, it’s relatively inexpensive to do!
  • Consider new finishes like a back-in-style warm brass to a cool-toned brushed nickel. You can also update the cabinet hardware style. Choose something sleek and thin for a modern, minimal look or aim for scrolling or porcelain accents for a vintage, old-world style.
  • Aside from the hardware, you can also add trims such as cabinet molding accents. Have a block-style kitchen island that makes the kitchen appear cramped?
  • Give it some open shelving and install carved kitchen island legs to elevate the space. You can also cover the range hood with wood panels and trim accents, giving it a more built-in look.

2: Paint the kitchen cabinets

Notes:

  • The color or stain of your cabinets can make your kitchen appear quite outdated. And while you’d love to replace them entirely, painting them is much more cost-effective. An easy DIY reno project, all it costs is a bit of elbow grease to sand them down and a gallon or two of paint.
  • When selecting a new color for your cabinets, you can go in two directions. One direction is to aim for a dramatic, bold color like matte black or navy blue.
  • Another way is to use more neutral-based cabinets that offer an airy and bright look, such as light grays or crisp whites. Either way, painting your kitchen cabinets can truly transform your space.

3: Paint the walls

Notes:

  • Love your cabinets the way they are? Instead of painting your cabinetry, add a fresh coat to the kitchen walls instead! The trick here is to work with your existing cabinets. Whether you choose a dark or light hue, make sure it complements your cabinet’s wood tone or color so that it coordinates and offers a uniform design.
  • Whether you go bold or stick to neutrals, there are countless kitchen color schemes that can inspire you to cook and spend time as a family. From moody dark blues and blacks to bright and airy beiges and corals, choose something that fits the style of your home while enhancing the kitchen’s aesthetic.

4: Organize cabinets and the pantry

Notes:

  • Many homeowners grow weary of their kitchen because it’s simply not well-organized. From the countertops to the cabinets and drawers, they eventually become haphazard no matter how hard you try to keep them tidy.
  • Instead of finding yourself in a constant cleaning battle, rethink your cabinets and pantry space in a way that provides a designated place for all your utensils, cookware and more.
  • For instance, you could install graduated shelving inserts inside cabinets to keep spices organized and labels visible. You could also add versatile dividers inside drawers, keeping utensils separated and easy to find while you cook.
  • Additionally, a lazy Susan works perfectly in those tight corner cabinets where items consistently go missing. Essentially, assessing your kitchen’s organization and your own cooking methods can help you determine where essential appliances and tools should be. And this can be a significant refresher to any kitchen.

fifth “photo remodeling” idea

5: Get a new backsplash

Notes:

  • Adding a backsplash between upper and lower cabinets can really enhance a kitchen. If it’s an outdated tile, replace it with something more trendy like subway tiles or even a marble slab or glass. If you have plain drywall, this can drastically improve your kitchen, offering you an easy-to-clean, wipeable surface and a focal point in the space.
  • This is a relatively easy DIY kitchen update, too! Many backsplashes come attached to a mesh backing, which allows for a simple install. Instead of applying small, individual multi-colored glass mosaic pieces, they typically come as sheets that can be glued to the wall.

6: Add new lighting fixtures

Notes:

  • Lighting can make or break a kitchen. So, if you don’t have stylish lighting fixtures or deal with dimly lit kitchen counters, this is a must-do addition to refresh your kitchen! Adding quality lighting fixtures also makes your kitchen space appear larger too.
  • When it comes to kitchen lighting, drop pendants make wonderful, eye-catching pieces, especially at the island or a long peninsula with a bar. Choose a row of singular drop pendants or a long horizontal pendant that covers the entire space. If you have a breakfast nook, be sure to add a petite chandelier above the table and banquette seating. From contemporary to modern farmhouse and industrial, there are various styles and finishes from which to choose.

7: Install under-cabinet lighting

Notes:

  • If you can’t afford new pendants or like your current lighting already, consider installing under-cabinet lighting. Under-cabinet lighting offers several advantages, such as accenting your gorgeous backsplash and providing task lighting beneath darker cabinet spaces.
  • Under-cabinet lighting can also showcase appliances like that fancy vintage-inspired Smeg toaster or the standing mixer you frequently mix batters with.
  • Adding under-cabinet lighting to your kitchen doesn’t even require a professional electrician. You can find numerous styles of LED battery-operated lighting and pucks that you can mount yourself within a day. Easy peasy!

eighth and last “photo remodeling” idea

8: Upgrade the kitchen faucet

Notes:

  • Another easy way to refresh your kitchen is to upgrade the faucet. If your kitchen sink sits front and center within the space, replacing the kitchen faucet to something with a more modern finish and updated look can catch the eye. Consider something like a brushed brass or matte black for a striking look.
  • Plus, more modern faucets offer practical features that make cleaning and cooking easier. Choose a faucet with touch-sensor technology that allows you to turn the water on when your hands are dirty. Also, you can choose an Energy Star-approved kitchen faucet that can help you save on your water bill.
