When it comes to redecorating your home, the kitchen can often be a room that can add increasing value to your property. However, it can also be the hub of your home where you spend a lot of time. But, often a full kitchen remodel can be quite costly, and if this is something that just isn’t in your budget right now, you may think there isn’t anything else that you can do. But actually, small changes can add a quirky touch to your kitchen. With that in mind, here are some of the things to consider.
Painting the kitchen doors
One of the first things you can do is consider painting the kitchen doors. This can add an instant refresh to your kitchen without needing to replace anything. Depending on what you go for, it can change the whole look. A lighter kitchen cupboard door could make your kitchen appear brighter and airy. You could even choose to do different colors on the top and bottom ones to add a different look or a quirky touch. It is one of the easiest and most budget friendly ways of updating your kitchen.
Change one big aspect
If you do have some budget for your kitchen just not enough to replace it entirely then think about changing one big feature of the room. You could add tiles to the walls or a new splash back. You could replace the flooring to give it a different look. Or perhaps look at changing the work surfaces. This could be something like using cultured marble which is a manmade version of marble and looks very effective. Or you could go for something more traditional like wood. This covers a big area of your kitchen so could make a big difference to the overall appearance.
Changing your accessories
If your kitchen is a neuter lapsed then changing the accessories you have on display could make it feel like there are some new touches. People tend to add color to their kitchen through their kettle and toaster models, the cups they may have on display or even the work surface chopping or protective boards. Changing these to something different could inspire you to add other features.
Adding a feature walls
Another thing to think about would be adding a feature wall to your kitchen. It could be as simple as painting a main wall a different color that could match into the accessories you have on display or a color in your kitchen that you want to showcase. Other things to think about would be adding pictures to the wall as a photo gallery feature.
Be different with lighting
Maybe you like the idea of creating more light in your kitchen or adding. A modern touch. You might want to change the main light fitting in your kitchen to add a new dynamic or even things like led lighting to give it a real modern finish. There is so much you can do with lighting and even changing the color of the bulb can add a warm glow or a cool finish to the kitchen, which again can transform other colors in your kitchen such as the cupboards.
Let’s hope that this has provided you with some inspiration to make some quirky changes to your kitchen.
