It’s the season for DIY home repairs and improvements, and the kitchen is one of the most highly-trafficked rooms in the home and usually serves as the gathering point for guests. Since you spend so much time in the kitchen, it makes sense to focus on sprucing it up this season, but knowing where to start is tricky. Check out some ways to spruce up your kitchen and give it a fresh new face.

1. Add pops of color and patterns.

An easy and affordable way to spruce up your kitchen is to add some colors and prints. You can add as much or as little color as you wish. Think about painting an accent wall or putting up bold wallpaper, painting your cabinets or kitchen chairs, or installing a colorful backsplash. If your walls could really use some TLC, give the entire space a fresh coat of paint and get creative with bold colors on the trim.

2. Make over your appliances.

Small appliances are functional kitchen accents that can bring character to your kitchen. Makeover your small appliances and update your coffee maker, get a proper knife set, or go pastel-retro with your toaster or refrigerator. If you routinely use the appliances you update, it’s worth the investment.

Update your refrigerator’s look by painting it or covering it with sticky contact paper. You can even do the same trick with your oven so your appliances match. If you have a Wolf or Sub-Zero refrigerator that’s in need of regular maintenance or a replacement part, the skilled technicians at Sub-Zero have you covered. Their factory-trained technicians are experienced with repairing Sub-Zero appliances, ovens, cooktops, and ventilation in residential and commercial spaces. For Sub-Zero refrigerator repair with a warranty guarantee at the lowest rate, rely on Sub-Zero Repair Pro.

3. Make a statement with hardware.

Updating your kitchen hardware is an easy DIY task that’s budget-friendly. If you can’t afford to replace your sink, swap out the old faucet for a stainless steel one. Complement your freshly painted cabinets with new drawer handles and knobs, and make a statement with a new light fixture.

Another great way to make a statement is to update your island countertop and stools. Metal stools are affordable, come in sets, and come in multiple colors. You can mix and match styles for an eclectic look, or keep it monotone for a sleek, bold statement. Replacing your island countertop or replacing the entire island with upcycled pieces can really spruce up your kitchen.

4. Add some interest by hanging things up.

You’d be surprised how many simple things can be hung up to freshen up your kitchen. Open shelving in the kitchen adds extra storage and serves as a cute display for dishes. Hanging floating storage for your pots and pans adds a nice focal accent above the island and a great way to show off your Berlinger Haus kitchen cookware from OutletSale. The exclusive online store offers a handpicked selection of the best Berlinger Haus and Blaumann cookware and knives at a fair price point. Customers in the United States will enjoy a great service experience purchasing high-quality European kitchenware at OutletSale.

It’s easy to hang pendant lights in the kitchen. Simply plug the cord into a power outlet, run the cord, and hang the light from a hook. Decorate blank walls by hanging up some artwork. Framed photos, inspirational signs, and decorative plates all freshen up the look of your kitchen. If you have windows in the kitchen, freshen them up with new window curtains, blinds, or shades.

These are four easy, affordable ways to spruce up your kitchen and breathe new life into an important space.
