5 Easy Ways to Update Your Kitchen

The kitchen is most often the heart of a home, but it can also be one of the most expensive updates to complete.  Large tasks such as relocating plumbing lines, knocking out cabinets, and purchasing a new set of appliances usually contribute to the high cost of updating the kitchen.  However, there are simpler ways to refresh the kitchen without putting a dent in your wallet. 

3. Update and Alternate Fixtures and Appliances

  Fixtures and appliances are most frequently used and often incur wear and tear pretty quickly.  The good news is that swapping out your handles and knobs is as easy as using a screwdriver.  Hardware stores often have a wide variety of unique and colorful knobs that can add an instant dash of color.

5. Accessorize

  Accessorizing your home is a fun and easy way to give any space an instant facelift.  Since space is often limited in the kitchen, it is important to remember that when accessorizing this space, items should be practical and functional and counter space should be kept clutter free.  Try colorful bookends to keep cookbooks in order, funky salt and pepper shakers or a woven rug to add instant and vibrant energy to the kitchen.
