Kitchen Upgrades You Will Love

For many people, the kitchen is the center of their home. Not only is it where you hang out with your family as you cook, but it also helps you get ready for holiday dinners and celebrate special occasions. Whether you have in-laws who come over often or you simply like cooking for your family, you can find upgrades that work well for your home and impress everyone who stops by.

Backsplash ideas

An easy way to upgrade your kitchen is with a new backsplash. Gone are the days of standard designs that used neutral colors. You can now make a dramatic impression with black-and-white tiles in a funky pattern. If you want to catch the eye of visitors, go with tiles in brighter colors that you can mix and match. A backsplash will keep grease and other food from splattering onto the wall while also adding a fun touch to your kitchen that works with any new kitchen appliances you need.

Refinish your cabinets

Are you tired of seeing the same old cabinets every time you walk into your kitchen? Now is a good time to refinish them and give them a new look. A local company like Kitchen and Bath Innovations can help you choose a color or finish that works with the rest of the room. While you might decide to stain the cabinets, a new coat of paint will also give you the look that you want. Refinishing your cabinets is much cheaper than replacing them.

Swap out your lighting

Upgrading your kitchen doesn't take a ton of work because it's easy to swap out your lighting. Pendant lights are perfect for use above your island or table. You can go with dramatic colors like black or add a funky touch with red lights. Recessed lighting is also popular for kitchens because it gives you the light you need for prepping meals but stays out of your way. No matter which kitchen remodel ideas you pick, you'll want to change your lighting.

Create a statement or focal point

If you want to impress your in-laws when they come over for dinner, pick a focal point or statement piece and build the design around it. Add decorative glasses and vintage barware to your kitchen island to create a minibar where guests will want to hang out during parties. Make use of the back of counters that you usually ignore with a set of stools and placemats that give your family a new place to sit for meals. You can also work with a Cincinnati company like Kitchen Tune-Up to get help designing your kitchen around a focal point.
