Thanh Thanh (Theo Boldsky) |

With a few small but reasonable changes, the kitchen space can become newer and more convenient without spending too much money.

Repaint the kitchen cabinet

Repainting kitchen cabinets is a cost-effective solution but brings clear efficiency when you want to refresh the cooking space. You can choose colors that are harmonious with the overall design or apply the two-tone color scheme that is being favored, in which the top and bottom cabinets use two different colors to create accents.

Before painting, it is necessary to clean and scrub the surface thoroughly to ensure that the paint layer adheres evenly, smoothly and is durable over time.

Replacing old cabinet accessories

In case repainting kitchen cabinets is not cost-effective, you can consider replacing old accessories with new models. Changing handles or scissors can quickly refresh the kitchen look.

You should choose accessories with designs and materials that are harmonious with the overall interior style. This is a simple but effective tip, helping to improve both the aesthetics and function of the kitchen space.

Add an open shelf

Open shelves bring a modern, light feeling to the kitchen and are a cost-effective solution compared to traditional kitchen cabinets. You can remove the wings of some of the above cabinets or install raised shelves to display dishes, cups or cookbooks. This arrangement helps the space become more airy, while creating a feeling of a spacious and close kitchen.

Add light effects

Light plays an important role in shaping the feeling and aesthetics of the kitchen space. You can choose hanging lamps and chandeliers at reasonable prices or apply simple and easy-to-implement lighting solutions.

Combining and experimenting with many different types of lights will help find a suitable solution for the kitchen style, while creating accents and increasing the warmth of the space.
