The Best Kitchen Update Ideas

  • By Andrii Mysheniuk
  • Posted May 21, 2021

Your kitchen is one of the busiest places in your home. It’s where you enjoy your morning coffee, home-cooked meals, and time with family and friends. However, it’s easy for this space to feel outdated, boring, or rundown after so much use. If you’re hoping to revitalize your kitchen, take a look at the top ten best kitchen update ideas. Each one can help to transform your tired kitchen into something fresh and inviting.

Fresh Paint

A new coat of paint is one of the fastest and easiest ways to update a kitchen. This step makes a big difference in the overall look and feel of the space. It can transform a dark, outdated area into something warm, bright, and inviting. In some cases, this may be the only update you need to revitalize the kitchen.

Update Light Fixtures and Bulbs

Light is what makes an area feel inviting—if it’s done correctly. Avoid yellow light as much as possible, as it illuminates stains and grease marks. White lights are significantly brighter and bring more energy to an area. Outdated light fixtures should be replaced with something more trendy like pendant lights or fixtures with clean, straight lines. 

Switch Out Cabinet Hardware

Swap out the outdated hardware on your cabinets and drawers to give them an entirely new look. Plus, this type of hardware usually only costs a few dollars—which is the perfect price point if you’re on a tight budget.

Refresh or Replace Cabinets

If you’re tired of outdated wood cabinets, either refresh or replace them. Cabinets that haven’t completely rotted through and are still in good condition can easily be sanded down and painted for a more modern look. However, this is a time-consuming job. Replacing worn-down, old-fashioned cabinets can easily bring your kitchen back to life.

New Countertops

This is probably the best kitchen update idea because new granite or quartz countertops can quickly refresh a tired-looking or rundown space. If you can’t afford to install new counters, resealing tile countertops or a DIY epoxy countertop are also great options.

Install Backsplash

A backsplash is a great way to add some color and personality to your kitchen. You can create a clean, crisp look with simple white subway tiles or try something more unique with colorful glass tiles and patterns. 

Choose the Right Flooring

One of the most popular trends now is an open concept home, meaning that people prefer rooms to flow together rather than be closed off. Flooring is a perfect way to accomplish that. Matching the kitchen floor to the rest of the house creates a more unified look and gets rid of outdated or dirty-looking floors.

Open Shelving

To open up kitchen space, consider implementing some open shelves. There are plenty of ways to be creative with this, whether it’s displaying your favorite small appliances, a selection of cookbooks, or some colorful plants. Adding hooks to the bottom shelf to store utensils is a perfect way to implement additional storage.

Update Appliances

As one of the most important aspects of a kitchen, appliances like the fridge, stove, and dishwasher must be updated. Not only are they more energy-efficient, but they also perform better. Plus, new appliances can help to increase the value of your home.

It’s All About the Little Things

Sometimes the best way to update a kitchen is with glass jars, potted plants, wall decor, or rugs. These small accessories add a pop of color to any space and help draw the eyes away from old appliances or outdated cabinets. 

No matter which of these kitchen update ideas you go with, each one is sure to revitalize a tired or old-fashioned space. Remember, you don’t have to break the bank to transform your kitchen. A good scrubbing, a fresh coat of paint, and some new accessories can make a huge difference.
