Take a break from outdoor activities in this blistering heat with an easy DIY kitchen makeover. Giving your cabinets a facelift is a simple task that has the potential to make a huge difference in your living space. Check out these strategies to transform the kitchen you use every day.
- Add an accent color. Whether it’s painting a whole section of your cabinets a contrasting color than the rest of your space or adding wallpaper to the inside of your cabinets, an added pop of color can add interesting depth and dimension.
- Upgrade your hardware. This is a quick and easy way to change the look of any cabinet. Whether you’re going for modern, antique or colorful, it’s achieved in a pinch. Mix and match knobs for an eclectic feel.
- Decorate your doors. From stencils to chalkboard paint to supplementary molding, accents can help to add a touch of unique personality to otherwise ordinary cabinetry.
- Open it up. Ideal for displaying china and other decorative pieces, taking off the doors in certain sections of your cabinets can break up the monotony and introduce a fresh, airy feel. It’ll make your whole space feel larger!
- Distress it. The farmhouse shabby chic style is all the rage, and the kitchen is no exception. Use a sander to create a weathered texture on a variety of hues from charcoal to white and everything in between.
