When you think of kitchen renovations you likely think of two things; the cost and the inconvenience. While it is true that large-scale kitchen renovations can be costly and inconvenient, the fact is you have other options for upgrading your kitchen.
Small changes in your kitchen can have a big impact. For example, simply changing out the flooring and adding some paint can easily transform your kitchen space.

Paint Is an Easy Way to Upgrade
If your cabinets are all highly functional but could use an aesthetic boost, paint is the solution. A quick coat of paint will instantly modernize the look of your cabinets and make your kitchen feel fresh and new.
Painting the walls in your kitchen is also an easy way to upgrade the space. A new color will give your kitchen an entirely new feel.

If you are working with a small kitchen space, you can make it feel larger by removing some cabinets and adding open shelving. Invest in some cute storage containers and canisters to keep the shelves tidy. Open shelves serve two purposes. They give you more storage space, and when organized right, is a focal point.
Update Your Hardware and Faucet
Changing the hardware in your kitchen is easy and can instantly modernize the room. Kitchen renovations do not have to be large, costly, and tons of work to get the impact that you want. Add a new faucet to modernize your space and add function.
