4 effortless ways to elevate your kitchen

For many of us, our kitchen really is the heart of our home — where everyone likes to come together and connect. And while a kitchen remodel can be expensive and time consuming, sometimes a simple refresh can elevate an entire room.

Here are a few of our favorite ways to freshen up our kitchen and dining areas:

1. Swap out outdated light fixtures for new ones. Add some light to your kitchen by installing lighting underneath your cabinets, or add an oversized chandelier as a fun accent piece.

2. Add a fresh coat of paint: Color is back in this year. Make a statement with a rich bold color such as Pantone’s color of the year, Vivid Magenta. Or, add a pale sage green accent to inspire a more peaceful atmosphere.

3. Update your cabinet hardware: Restyle your cabinets without too much effort by simply switching out the hardware. Try a matte black for a modern look or copper pulls for an on-trend, vintage feel.

4. Invest in some new dining chairs. If you prefer a formal dining look, dark wood is back in style. Or set a more vibrant mood by adding brightly painted chairs. And while you’re at it, take a look at our favorite products to protect your chairs.
