How to Upgrade Your Kitchen in 2 Weeks or Less

 

Add Open Shelving

If you’re always lamenting about a lack of storage space but have open walls in your kitchen, installing simple shelves can solve this problem for you. Use your shelves to showcase   your more attractive kitchen items, like dishes and g glassware, while reserving your cabinets for the things you would rather keep behind doors.

Paint

The single easiest thing to do to spruce up any space is to paint it. You can do the painting in as little time as one weekend and choose any color under the sun to reflect your sense of taste and design.

Change Hardware

Another simple change that can breathe new life into your kitchen is  to replace the existing cabinet handles and drawer pulls. You can even go so far as to replace light fixtures and switch plate covers for  an updated  look.

Add Under-Cabinet Lighting

Task lighting is always welcome in kitchens, and new products on the market make under-cabinet lighting more accessible than ever. You can buy fixtures or strips that attach with adhesive. Some are plug in while others run on batteries.

Cover Your Counters

The most labor-intensive of these options is to cover your older countertops. While you may not want to cover up stone, if you have dated laminate counters, consider using a refinishing kit or tiling over the old surfaces for a new look.
