Tired of the same old kitchen, but don’t want the hassle or price tag of an entire renovation? The kitchen is perhaps one of the most important places and the most visited part of your home. It is more than just where you prepare your meals and therefore needs to look tidy at all times and refreshingly decorated If you think your kitchen needs a little spruce or a mini makeover, here are fun ways you can have that done on a small budget without robbing the bank.
- Give it a new coat of paint
The best way to decorate your kitchen is to begin with painting it. Painting hides old stains, and makes your kitchen look lively, and beautiful.
- Open season shelves
These type of shelves showcase two trends – open storage and cottage style in one installation. Support simple planks on purchased brackets. Let wall space dictate the dimensions.
- Add some lighting
It’s not enough for your kitchen to have just one central light bulb. You can add beauty and life to your kitchen by using under-cabinet lighting because this makes performing a countertop task easier and safer or even hang a pendant light.
- Get a grip
New hardware can update the look of your cabinet. Choose knobs and pulls that complement your kitchen’s style and other metal finishes.
- Leave a message
This may not be Nigerian yet, but it does add fun and value to your kitchen. Chalkboard paints can make any surface such as your refrigerator’s into a communication tool. But if you don’t want to stain your kitchen facilities, you can create a special chalkboard corner where each day’s menu and shopping lists will be written.
- Use over-the-sink storage
It’s not only inside cupboards or racks that pots and pans can be hung. Kitchen curtain rods can also be as twice useful as any other kitchen storage. So, install extra support brackets for heavy pans.
- Do the wrappings
Most shelves and cabinets come plain. Being aesthetic in your kitchen creates a sense of belonging and attraction for you and visitors who may wish to take a peep there. Buy colouful wallpapers and line your cabinets, shelves and racks with them. Apply trim sheets with double-stick tape to update your look periodically.
- Add-on character
Customize cabinets with furniture-style details. This tradition example features pilaster moldings and blocky feet.
- Think of small appliances as decorative accessories.
An orange fridge might be too bold and too expensive but you can go nuts with everything else like a cobalt toaster, or a cherry red mixer. They are like jewelry for your kitchen, you can always move them around or put them away.
- Place a rug in front of the sink.
It does double-duty by making your workstation more comfortable on your feet and adding a splash of color.
