Kitchen remodels can be an expensive affair, costing tens of thousands of dollars. You don’t need to always splurge though to add an element of flair and give your kitchen the vibrant makeover it deserves.
Here are some simple and affordable ways in which you can redesign your kitchen and give it personality.
Play with patterns and colors
Using contrasting patterns in your kitchen, be it with a rug or a patterned wallpaper adds color and flavor to space. At the same time, align with a theme that you can explore further and maintain with more decorative elements. You can add color elements such as colorful metal stools, at the same time providing more seating area and functionality. This theme can be further explored with contrasting colors and shapes in the paint job that you go for in your kitchen.
Use floating shelves and plates as wall decor
Floating shelves have a two-pronged advantage, firstly adding to the storage available and secondly, allowing space to express creative elements such as leaned artworks or glasses.
You can also stick to vibrant china or use plate hangers to add a variety of plates to your wall decor.
Explore lighting
The right lights can go a long way to add character to your room, and although getting a chandelier may be a bit of a stretch, using dimmers with pendant lights and small lamps along with placing candles around your kitchen can add to a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. You can also experiment with blinds and curtains to play with natural light.
Get a designed dining table
A dining table having design elements that match the theme of your kitchen can add a ton of functionality while at the same time making the kitchen the place to have family meals together.
Create a display cabinet
Use your cabinets to display colorful crockery and glassware as well as any collectibles you might have bagged over your travels, creating an eclectic melange of colorful trinkets that add to a playful decor.
Use your drawers
Stock up with healthy snacks that are easily accessible to your kids to encourage healthy eating habits and foods from an early age, while at the same time, involving them in the kitchen early.
