Fresh Paint

A fresh coat of paint can do wonders for your kitchen, whether it be for the walls or if you choose to re-paint your cabinets. Choose a color that compliments all your other hardware and appliances in order to tie the room together. You’ll be surprised by how much a brand new coat of paint can make a difference to your space.

Adding Open Shelving 

Remove a few cabinet doors and replace them with open shelves to create a more open and airy feel in your kitchen. Display decorative items, dishes, or cookbooks to add personality to the space.

Lighting Upgrades 

Sometimes a space can simply benefit from updated lighting. Improve the functionality and ambiance of your kitchen by upgrading your lighting fixtures; install under-cabinet lighting, pendant lights, or recessed lighting to brighten up the space and add style. Out with the old and in with the new!

Cabinet Refacing 

Give your cabinets a fresh look by refacing them with new doors, drawer fronts, and hardware. This can dramatically change the appearance of your kitchen without the need for demolition.

Updating Hardware 

Replace old cabinet knobs, handles, and drawer pulls with new hardware to instantly modernize your kitchen. Choose pieces that coordinate with your faucet and lighting fixtures for a cohesive look.

Decorative Accents

Sometimes upgrading already-existent features is unnecessary. Instead, consider adding personality and style to your kitchen with decorative accents such as rugs, curtains, artwork, and plants. These small touches can make a big impact without the need for demolition or major renovations.

Ultimately, upgrading your kitchen without demolition is not only feasible, but a practical and cost-effective way to breathe new life into your space. From simple changes like updating hardware to replacing old lighting fixtures, there are plenty of options available to suit every style and budget.
