There’s no denying that kitchens are the heart of the home — and for a good reason. From meal prepping to hosting family and friends, this well-loved gathering place not only needs to be stylish, but hardworking, too. If you’re looking to update your kitchen without investing in a full-blown renovation, here is a break down of how to achieve a kitchen refresh on the weekend.
1. Spring for New Stools
If you find yourself eating more often at the island rather than the dining table, consider investing in comfy counter stools. You might linger just a little longer.
2. Try on Some Stylish Hardware
If you’re angling for one of the hot new finishes in your kitchen — think buttery brass — start with your cabinet hardware. Look for something with the same measurements as your current pulls or knobs, so you don’t have to fill any excess holes.
3. Update Your Look with New Lighting
Imagine an industrial-looking factory pendant in this spot or perhaps a more traditional chandelier. The style of a fixture can drastically change a room’s overall design direction.
4. Paint Your Cabinets
Give your kitchen a new life by slapping a fresh shade on your doors and drawers. Play it safe with a neutral or have fun with an exuberant hue.
5. Invest in Updated Cabinet Door Fronts
If the basic layout of your kitchen works and the box construction is in good shape, exchange your door fronts. Stick with your current style or try out something new.
6. Install a Showpiece Faucet
A contemporary-style black faucet will make your kitchen look 10 years younger. It’s a quick weekend fix!
7. Try a Fresh Tile Pattern
There are many ways to install rectangular tiles. An offset brick layout is a classic choice, but for something more contemporary- looking, try a stacked vertical or herringbone pattern. For more kitchen tile inspiration, check out out these statement backsplashes.
