Decorative changes, such as painting, installing new light fixtures, and adding accessories can immediately change the style of the kitchen. Mentioned @ncontours, “Consider a fresh coat of paint or a fun, new way to accessorize– love the little white ladder!”  Even small detail changes can have a meaningful impact. Added @jorgensonlocker, “Changing your door & drawer hardware can freshen up the look of your cabinets.”

New tile can dramatically change the room and can provide a focal point. Mentioned @tiledistinctive, “Here’s something we love: wood look tile with gorgeous color! Added co-host @rahomes, “Wood-look tile has advanced so far. It’s really incredible these days.”

The countertop can be enhanced with a new coat of paint and installing a new island kitchen counter adds space as well as a brand new look. @rahomes shared not one, but two different islands. “How about an island…or two?”

Functionality and ease-of-use within the kitchen and bathroom can be accentuated when kitchen and bath items are easily accessible. “Pull out cabinets let you view every item in your kitchen collection,” remarked @pureplumbinglv and @sweetloretta stated, “Functional pull out cabinetry is the way to go.” While cabinetry and shelves keep the area organized, they can also provide a facelift from a dated to new look.

Innovative tech choices are popular must haves within the kitchen and bath and can also have energy and water saving features built-in that are shared on a recent blog by @rahomes.
