Making small changes such as repainting cabinets, installing new lighting or a new sink can change the look of your kitchen. As we roll into the new year, give your kitchen a mini makeover. By doing this you will enjoy your culinary zone even more. So, here are kitchen upgrades that are small yet can have a big impact:

1. Give a Makeover to The Island

A kitchen island is the centerpiece of your kitchen. If you update it your kitchen will look more stylish.

2. Change the Lighting Fixtures

A lighting scheme of large pendants above your kitchen island or table can make a dramatic statement. So, if you only have simple lights then change them and hang something like oversized pendant lights instead.

3. Reface the Cabinets with a Fresh Coat of Paint

If you want a low-cost major new look for your kitchen then think of changing the color of the cabinets.

4. Make a Statement with a Vibrant Area Rug

For an underfoot that feels cozy, adds texture and introduces color to the kitchen, pick a colorful rug like this one. It will probably also be a good idea to get something washable as there will be food drips that will need cleaning.

5. Pick Some Stylish Bar Stools

Get your kitchen noticed with bar stools that fit your needs. For example, these gold chairs add a glow to this kitchen.

6. Perk Up The Kitchen with a Backsplash Makeover

Pair your countertops with a new backsplash. You can install a backsplash that is bold and gorgeous such as this one done with mosaic tiles.

7. Change The Sink

Choose a kitchen sink that is practical and distinctive such as a metallic farmhouse sink. Do not forget to have the pipes checked. Visit www.thaheatingairplumbing.com and get your estimate. You should better deal with plumbing now and do not worry about it once a new sink is installed.

8. Add a Bit of Flair with a Window Valance

To frame your kitchen window in style, hang a valance. A valance with a print will for sure steal the scene. Such small kitchen upgrades can be done on a dime.

9. Grow an Indoor Herb Garden

To enjoy the flavor of fresh herbs in a kitchen to make your cooking extra special, start an indoor herb garden.

10. Enhance The Storage and Style with Floating Shelves

How about new floating shelves to make your kitchen more functional and versatile, while adding some style?
