(NC)-Creating a new look in the kitchen doesn't have to mean starting from scratch and emptying out your bank account. Smart updates that are affordable and easy to implement can breathe new life into your tired kitchen.
Delta Faucet offers the following tips for updating your kitchen while watching your wallet:
? You may think that your cupboard hardware is a minor player in your kitchen, but out of date finishes and handle styles can make your space look dated. For an easy and affordable change that will update the look of your kitchen, replace your "vintage" hardware with hardware in contemporary finishes such as chrome and stainless steel.
? If new kitchen cabinets aren't in the budget but require some updating, a bit of elbow grease to sand, prime and apply a fresh coat of paint can bring them back to life and drastically change the overall look and feel of your kitchen.
? High tech doesn't always have to mean out of reach for your budget. For the latest in faucet technology, look for a kitchen faucet featuring touch technology that will make spending time preparing meals or even washing dishes convenient and fun. Delta's Pilar kitchen faucet allows you to stop and start the flow of water with a simple tap anywhere on the spout or handle while offering a bold, modern look.
? Brighten up the kitchen with new lighting fixtures in modern finishes and styles. Installing lighting under your cabinets will open up food preparation areas and bring a fresh look to your space. For eating areas and islands, pendant lighting can provide both style and functionality. For an added bonus to your wallet, look for energy efficient options to save money on your energy bills.
? A simple coat of paint on dull walls can refresh any room in the house, particularly the kitchen.
? Accessories help turn a stark room into a personal space. Replacing kitchen towels, small appliances and other items that are on display is an easy way to add a splash of modern style to an outdated family kitchen.
