3 Tips to Easy and Effective Kitchen Decor Upgrades

When the time comes for a new makeover for your kitchen or if you want to change up a few things to get a new look, there are many different ways you can approach it. To get you started, here are three simple yet effective ways you can transform your kitchen — taking old items and reusing them, using unique kitchen lighting, and matching color schemes effectively.
 

Take the Old and Make It New
Sometimes remodeling your kitchen space can be as simple as bringing in a new element by reusing something old or something already in use. For example, you might consider adding new paint to the old cabinets rather than getting new cabinets installed.

Take the old lamps, switch out the shades and create a new look. Add a wallpaper border or take old tiles and pieces to make a new back-splash for the counter tops. Taking something old and making it into something new is an affordable way to improve your kitchen décor. 

Effective Use Lighting
Lighting is a powerful source of charm to create an overall mood and atmosphere about the room. Using unique kitchen lighting can make all the difference in the world. The lighting that you ultimately decide to use for your kitchen is much more than a simple light source. There is a wide variety of types and styles to choose from when it comes to the lights and fixtures to use in your kitchen area. Play around with your options and see what fits your kitchen design best, as well as what helps you achieve the look you are going for.

Linking Color Schemes Together
The final kitchen décor tip to consider is to look carefully at the colors that are used in the kitchen or in the neighboring rooms. Look for wood colors, wallpaper shades, plain colors, and other features that can be repeated in neighboring rooms to create a new look and tie the areas together more effectively. Sometimes all that is needed is some tweaking of the colors and your kitchen decor will pop.
