Replacements You Can Make To Update Your Kitchen

So you are thinking it is time make a few upgrades to your kitchen.  That’s a good idea: you can upgrade to eco-friendly appliances, install low faucets, and just plain make it look pretty.  And that doesn’t have to be complicated.  There are many things you can do, even by yourself—and even if you have hardly any Ksicabinetry.com experience—to add value without having to break the bank.

REFACE YOUR CABINETS

You probably overlook this but sometimes the simplest thing is the best.  If you want your kitchen to look as new as it was the day you moved in, the you will have to refresh it, as such.  Refacing (and repainting, of course) the cabinets restores some of the initial bliss (and it is a pretty easy job).

REPLACE CABINET HARDWARE

In addition to making the cabinet surfaces look new, you could also think about changing out the hardware.  Knobs and hinges are not just functional pieces, they can help define a particular mood or style.  In addition, it is not that difficult to replace a sink or a faucet, something that might also add some new life to your kitchen.

REPLACE the COUNTERTOPS and BACKSPLASH

Slightly more complicated than resurfacing/replacing a cabinet, this is still a job that you can figure out.  This will you add new color, flare, style, class, and lines to your kitchen so it is more aesthetically pleasing as a whole.

REPLACE LIGHTING

Aside from installing brand new lighting fixtures throughout the kitchen, this job is pretty simple.  Sometimes all you need to do to fix the lighting in a room is try a new light fixture.  You might also replace the light switch with a  dimmer, etc.

REPLACE the FLOORING

This is one of the most significant remodeling projects you can undertake, but doing so can really pay off.  Consider your floor as something that connects the room in a house.  What patterns, colors, shapes, lines, edges, work well in a kitchen?

REPLACE your APPLIANCES

And finally, sometimes you find that what your kitchen really needs are some new appliances. Maybe you are cooking at home more so you want a better range/stove. Maybe you are cooking less, so you only need a 2-burner stove.  Maybe you need more space so you get a more effective and efficient refrigerator.
