cabinets<\/a> is a project most DIY homeowners can tackle themselves. There\u2019s no better time to paint than when you\u2019re taking off all the old hardware anyway, so consider combining these two projects for a whole new look for a tiny fraction of the price of replacing your cabinets altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2: Creative Storage Solutions Revolutionize a Kitchen\u2019s Feel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
There are fabulous storage options that can totally revolutionize your kitchen\u2019s feel and utility for a very modest investment. Check out our Rev-a-Shelf accessories for some ideas! From built-in spice racks, to sliding hide-away storage for pots and pans, new storage solutions can help you get rid of clutter by making the most of storage space that\u2019s otherwise difficult or inconvenient to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bonus Idea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re redoing your wall surfacing, either by painting or wallpapering, you can go a step further with almost zero cost by removing some of your upper cabinets entirely and replacing them with open-air shelving. This can make a kitchen seem brighter and more spacious while providing a homey, \u201ccountry kitchen\u201d feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3: Personalize with D\u00e9cor and Details<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If replacing your kitchen cabinets is definitely in the cards, it can be tempting to go with an expensive, high-end design with a lot of personality and complex contours and woodworking. The thing is, for longevity of style, simpler is often better\u2014and cheaper!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consider going with a less-expensive cabinet option with a simpler, cleaner look in a neutral white or light gray paint, or light-toned wood. These lighter colors open up the space and help draw the eye to other elements. Then you can personalize your kitchen with details like a striking backsplash that\u2019ll be easy for a new homeowner to change if you end up having to move, and with themed d\u00e9cor you can simply take with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bonus Idea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You can create a striking visual style by adding hidden lighting such as flexible rope lights lining the tops of upper cabinets to add indirect lighting to the edges of the room. This can open up the space, and opens up those otherwise unused areas for additional d\u00e9cor, which will now have its own dedicated lighting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
