7 Ideas to Revive Your Kitchen
March 16, 2022Many people have resolutions to try new things or make changes in the new year. And 2022 has only just begun, but what does this year have in store for you? Maybe this is the year you upgrade the heart of your home to reflect those personal or modern touches you’ve always wanted. The experts at Hanson’s offer ideas to revive your kitchen with a few simple updates. Keep reading to learn more.
Put on a New Coat (of Paint)
One of the easiest updates you can make to your kitchen – or any room, really – is to brush up the walls. Put on a new coat of paint to either freshen up the existing look or add a new look with an entirely different color. Try a trendy neutral tone or paint one wall a complementary accent color. Whatever you decide, be sure your choice(s) go well with your cabinetry – unless you’re ready to update that as well.
Envision Cabinet Changes
If you’re feeling ambitious and want to make a big change to your kitchen, give your cabinets a new look. Consider painting, refinishing, or even removing (some of) them for a more open feel.
If you’ve already painted the walls, remember to choose a color that will make your cabinets shine and really stand out. Maybe try a modern, distressed look or a fresh vibe with the timeless elegance of white cabinetry.
Overhead hanging cabinets can make your kitchen look outdated. Consider removing them, especially if you don’t use them. This will free up the space and make the room feel larger. Or you can remove some of the cabinet doors for a fresh feel with open shelving.
Switch Up Hardware
Another easy way to revive your kitchen is by switching up the hardware. Swap the old, dated drawer pulls and cabinet handles for newer models with sleek designs or stylish finishes.
Restore the Floor
When you’re looking around at the things you’d like to update in your kitchen, remember to look down. Changing the flooring can have as drastic an impact as a new look to the walls. Consider upgrading that old linoleum to tile or wood. With so many options and colors today, the sky really is the limit for what goes under your feet.
Make a (Back)Splash
Adding or changing your kitchen backsplash can add a whole new feel and a lot of personality. Use white subway tile for a clean look or opt for a herringbone or other pattern for a more stylized appearance. A backsplash can be as simple or as detailed as you like. And remember that smaller, more textured tile can also more difficult to clean.
Update Your Faucet
If you have an outdated or – even worse – a leaky kitchen faucet, replace it and give your sink a renewed vigor. Choose the features and finish you like best, whether it’s something simple and sophisticated or a faucet with all the bells and whistles. Neither the color nor the finish needs to match the other metals in your kitchen, so find your favorite, functional design.
Upgrade Appliances
This idea might be a little more spendy but completely worth the investment, especially if you upgrade to energy efficient appliances.
Save water and energy and revive your kitchen with a fresh, modern look. The space will look and feel new, and you’ll save on your monthly bills, too. If you discover along the way that the plumbing or plumbing fixtures need replacement or repair, call in a professional to ensure the job is done safely and effectively.
