Wallet Friendly Home Decor Idea Rejuvanate Your Kitchen Cabinets

 Sometimes an old kitchen just needs to stress its built-in appeal. If you just purchased a new home with an aged kitchen or you wish to make the kitchen you've been living with a little more pleasing and picturesque, you can do it without replacing the cabinets or becoming bogged down in stripping and refinishing. Here are some suggestions on how to love what you have, and have what you enjoy. 

A Makeover for Older Kitchen Cabinets An older kitchen with all white cabinets and old-fashioned black and white wall and counter tile can speak about the past with retro charm. Brighten up the scheme with cheery yellow wall paint. For kitchens with curved corner shelves, outlining the edge of them in a perky blue shade is another great way to add color. You can add an open shelf trimmed in the same blue above the kitchen sink to display collectibles, coffee tins, vintage vases, and the addition of blue and white checkered curtains on kitchen windows adds retro polish. Keep the color going with brightly patterned ceramic canisters on the counter.
 
A bare wall can be dressed up with a spice rack or a wooden shelf that is either painted blue or trimmed in blue. Whether you want to add roosters, cherries or Tuscan accents and sunflowers, this color scheme will work with a myriad of themes. Simple Fixes - Remember that it is much easier and hassle-free to paint cabinets that need a facelift than to strip away old paint or varnish and then refurbish the cabinet entirely. To paint cabinets, you just need to lightly sand the existing surface. It's easiest if you remove doors and drawers, remove all hardware and work on a flat surface. Use a paint roller to make things go more quickly. - Replace old cabinet fronts with glass for a quick facelift. Paint the interiors a deep shade that will contrast nicely with your collectibles so they stand out. - Perhaps the fastest and easiest update for kitchen cabinets is a quick and thoughtful change out of the cabinet hardware.
This little stylistic change can inspire a whole new look and color scheme that you can continue throughout the room with changes in wall art, curtains, chair cushions and accessories. Glass knobs are ideal for hardware changes when you want to add some sparkle to a kitchen that is lifeless. - Try a new backsplash to brighten things up. Green and white tiles add cheer to a dark kitchen. Open up the entire area and reflect light by making a backsplash from mirrors. A glass store can cut mirrors for a perfect fit. - Get rid of your upper cabinets and opt for open shelving instead. It is much more affordable to hang shelving than to buy new cabinets, and you can choose to paint new shelves or adorn them with scrolled wrought iron brackets to fit the retro theme. 
 
Open storage and plate racks allow you to add color wherever you like while also giving the illusion of more space. Hang cups or cooking utensils below the shelving for convenience and decorative appeal. - Be daring and go with an unexpected theme in an old kitchen: Try bold colors like yellow and mango as a backdrop for a tropical theme kitchen complete with palm tree wall art and tropical wall hangings. As you can see, there are other options that most homeowners can easily undertake to bring color and brightness to the kitchen rather than refinishing or even replacing the existing cabinetry. Stylish wall art, wall paint, collectibles situated in different areas on the top of upper kitchen cabinets, and improved lighting can really make a huge difference in the overall aesthetic enjoyment of your kitchen.
