Top 5 Ways to Improve Your Kitchen Space
Renovating your kitchen to step up the ambiance of your home is definitely a thrilling idea. With a nice array of cool budget-friendly design ideas for kitchen decor, it can be rather exciting to start planning for the awesome remodeling project. The kitchen is the core space for any home. Here, you tend to spend a considerable amount of time. Therefore, its interior has to be more vibrant and modish to uplift your time here. The following decor ideas will come in handy for any kitchen improvement project.
Recycle, Clean, and Renovate
Look for signs of worn out and derelict accessories in the kitchen. Check the flooring sections, shelves, cabinets, and countertops. Remove them and replace them with new, better ones. When buying new stuff for your kitchen, such as chairs, cabinets, and open shelves, make sure you buy long lasting and durable products. Low-quality furniture and decor accessories tend to have a shorter lifespan. Keep the lid of storage containers covered, dispose of food crumbs properly, and recycle plastic to keep your space clean and pest free. In case you notice any pest infestation, hire an expert exterminator like Barrier Pest Control to handle this situation immediately.
Replace Storage With Trendy Shelves
Shelves and cabinets are essentially the highlights of any kitchen decor. Old school storage compartments that are in shambles do not add any value to the visual appeal of the space. Look for modern open shelves, hanging racks, and cabinet organizers with ample storage area. Use backlit light fixtures or contrasting patterns to step up the aura of your kitchen.
Focus on Lighting
Do not ignore the lighting in your kitchen. Bright and trendy fixtures are in these days. Dangling or backlit areas within a kitchen space are just what you need to enhance the aesthetics. Get a nice pair of fluorescent overhead fixtures, pendant lighting, lighting with recessed alternatives, and LED/CFL lighting. These options are cost-effective and easier to install. Moreover, these give you a better ROI.
Renovate Your Faucet
Overhaul your faucet for a smashing kitchen appearance. It will surely make your guests pine for another look. Opt for reliable energy-efficient alternatives featuring splendid designs, complementing the overall theme of your kitchen space. Buy a diner-style design for a faucet with adjustable options or a low-flow product that blends well with the rest of the accessories in the space.
Revamp Your Counters and Add a Backsplash
Old school countertops that are grungy and worn out due to overuse will not add to the decor’s appeal. The scratches, burn signs, or pallid patches on the surface give off an unpleasant vibe. Use a nice cover or cutting board to fix these flaws. If you have spare money, I recommend replacing your countertops. On the other hand, you can always hide the bad spots by using a standing appliance, a decor item, a fresh coat of paint, or a glossy cover. A nice DIY activity is to add backsplash to your kitchen design. Visit your local home improvement store and buy caulk or grout. Use it to install the backsplash in the best area for your theme palette for a stunning kitchen look.

I liked the idea on revamping the counter-tops design and putting some cutting boards on it.
Great tips! Love the suggestion of shelving. Vertical storage makes all the difference!
