Replace Your Kitchen Cabinets

There are many types of styles and finishes to choose from when replacing your kitchen cabinets. From sleek, modern designs to timeless wood finishes, the options are endless. If you are working with the existing cabinetry in your kitchen, there are still ways to make it look like new. A simple way is to switch out cabinet hardware for something modern and shiny.  It will add a pop of style to your cabinets and give them a more updated appearance.

Add Counter Space

If you happen to have an empty wall in the kitchen, add some counter space. You can do this very easily by adding an empty cabinet above the stove, where it’s often wasted space. Or if you’re working with cabinets, remove the upper cabinets and add open shelving. 

Display Your Dishes, Pots & Pans

If you’re like me, then you probably love cooking and experimenting with food (and if not, well this step still applies to you – it will make your kitchen look like it’s lived in.) If that’s the case, you have a lot of dishes and cooking utensils. Display them to show off all of your hard work. Just make sure you clean them well, especially those bottom, greasy, burnt parts.

Add Some Color

One of the best ways to make your kitchen look luxurious is with paint. If you’re not sure if you can commit to painting your existing cabinets, try using an overlay on them. This is when you take out the drawers in your cabinet and paint the inside and back of them. It will give you a customized look without committing to painting your whole cabinets all over again. 

Add Lighting

Another way to make any room feel luxurious is with lighting. The kitchen is usually very dark, so adding some lights over your counter space will be sure to elevate the mood in the room. You can do this by creating a fixture out of mason jars or adding light bulbs in between wine glasses for a glam look.

The most important thing is committing time and effort to make sure each detail, from appliances to greenery, and all the way to the decorative pieces as well as lighting.
