Unless you recently renovated your entire kitchen, there will be certain aspects or elements that can be updated to make your kitchen more luxurious and appealing. Luckily, small projects around the kitchen can make the biggest of difference without draining the wallet. Projects range in price, so how much you spend is affected by what you want to do and with what type of materials you use. But even the simplest of design can make a huge impact, and remember that when making these updates you will increase the amount of equity in your home. Win, Win! Here are several projects you can use to spruce up and make your kitchen more luxurious.
- An easy place to add that wow factor without breaking the bank is redoing the backsplash. For many homes the backsplash is carried throughout the kitchen and having a section behind the stove is a great place to add a focal point. This space is normally not large, so spending a little extra on the backsplash in this area will definitely make a statement.
- Lighting is key in any home, and under cabinet lighting not only allows you to see the beautiful backsplash you put in, but allows for more work space for your culinary needs. Imagine seeing better when you’re looking at a recipe or chopping fresh ingredients. This update is functional and practical for any home owner.
- A relatively inexpensive kitchen project is switching out your cabinet hardware. You do this if, and only if, the current cabinets still work in the kitchen. Nothing looks tackier than new hardware on an outdated door, and vice versa for that matter. This will give a quick facelift for cabinets that are still functional and don’t require replacement.
- Touch sensitive faucets are a great way to add that luxurious feel in your kitchen, but keep the project practical. How awesome would it be to walk to the sink and tap the faucet to turn the water on. That is one less area to spread the germs from the raw chicken you just finished cutting and less mess you have to clean up afterward.
- Hide stuff. And by stuff, I mean the pesky appliances and electrical outlets. In many modern kitchens, anything that disrupts the flow of the room needs to be changes immediately. If you updated the kitchen or plan to, find out about adding the same style look of cabinets to cover the appliances. As for power outlets, relocating them behind hidden panels, inside drawers, or under cabinets can and will improve the overall look of the kitchen.
