Are you looking forward to a fresh start, but short of moving into your new home? You can still achieve that without having to buy a new property. All it needs is working with what you already have, and improving it to give it that refreshed look. 

Simply put, it’s all about putting a fresh, new spin on your home’s interior. Understandably, taking on a full-scale renovation project may not be easily possible because of the amount of labor and costs involved. In that case, you might as well focus on that one section of the house that would have the most impact on your property’s aesthetic and value: the kitchen. 

Don’t be overwhelmed, though. Here are simple but helpful tips that you can refer to for your kitchen upgrade project. 

Upgrade the Lighting

One of the fastest ways to improve the appearance of the kitchen is by changing the lights. Improve the ambiance by getting rid of that stark lighting system, and instead get some warmer incandescent lights for recessed areas. For task lighting, you should find halogen lights to be great for the task. Meanwhile, you can add in some dimmable mood lights, with fluorescents offering warm to cool shades. 

Install New Cabinets

The functionality will always be a prime consideration in the kitchen. Improve your shelf space with RTA shaker cabinets. The great thing about this is that you now have a very good idea of the flow of movement in your kitchen, so you can definitely reconfigure the arrangement of the cabinets to suit your needs. 

Picking out new cabinets is also a quick way to improve or change the focal point of your kitchen. If it used to be plain, dark wood, for example, you can go for white RTA cabinets instead to bring a cleaner look to the room.

Add a Pop of Color and Texture with Backsplash

Another way for you to add further details to your kitchen is by adding or changing the backsplash. There are options for easy stick-ons, but there are also those that are more intricate in its material, and thus its application.

The good thing about backsplashes is that they’re very customizable such that you can make them match your white RTA cabinets, or be in stark contrast to it for a pop of color. You can also add a backsplash to an accent wall, if you would like, or even throughout the entire length of the counters. 

 Consult with a professional, so you can get the right supplies and be able to execute your ideas for your home renovation project.
