Get painting. A fresh coat of paint is one of the best ways to update the look of your kitchen for very little money. Warm, earthy colors are very popular in kitchens, as are neutral tones. Of course, you can always go for something a little more exciting. Bold colors are a fabulous way of showing off your personality and more subdued shades can be made to look more interesting with some creative painting. Sponging, mottling and rag-rolling are all useful techniques for adding fun texture to your walls. If you do not like the idea of repainting the entire kitchen, you could consider a single, feature wall just to jazz things up. Whatever you decide, it is important to be aware that if you are not changing other aspects of the room, such as the floor and cabinets, any new color you pick will need to work well with what is already there. Do not buy anything you do not need to. Look for things that you can alter rather than replace. Changing the cabinets in a kitchen can be a major expense but often is not truly necessary. As long as the main structures are sound you can add new cabinet doors and drawer fronts to totally transform the look of your kitchen, with minimum expense. Changing the cabinets in a kitchen can be a major expense but often is not truly necessary. Changing the handles is another great way to get a more stylish look, even on a small budget. If some of your appliances are looking a little rough but are still performing well, think about concealing them. An attractive curtain, hung from the front edge of the counter top, is a great way to keep less appealing elements of your kitchen out of sight. Just make sure it can be slid well out of the way, so you have full access to your appliances when required. Reorganizing your cabinets is also worth considering. Getting rid of anything you do not use and making better use of the space available means you will have fewer items cluttering up the counter top. This simple step can really help to improve the overall appearance of a kitchen.

Update the lighting. Updating your lighting can have a big impact on the look of your kitchen. Hanging, pendant lights look fantastic and there are many different types available, so it should be easy to find something that suits. Monorail lighting – where individual lights are attached to a long track – is great for a more modern kitchen and is very practical as you can angle each light in any direction you need. Adding task lighting can also be very useful, enabling you to light up particular areas, such as the stove or counter top. Attaching halogen lights to the underside of your cabinets is a great way to do this, with the addition of mid-level lighting adding interest to the room. Add accessories. You will be amazed at the difference some new accessories can make to the overall look of a kitchen. If you are not keen on your current floor add a rug to cover some of it up and bring some color in to brighten up the room. An attractive cutting board can have a similar effect if your counter tops are looking a little past their best. New curtains or blinds and pretty cushions for any kitchen chairs are great ways to freshen up the room and add some personality. They’re perfect for helping to tie together a new color scheme too. If you do not mind spending a little more then changing your faucets or purchasing attractive small appliances, such as toasters, can also be good ways to update your décor in a practical way.
