You do not have to keep the kitchen how it was when you bought the house.
In order to really make the house your own, you will want to update your kitchen to reflect
your personal sense of style.
Do not be afraid to take on this type of task, as it is really much easier and more affordable
than you might have thought.
“In order to really make the house

update your kitchen to reflect
your personal sense of style.”
Have Custom Cabinets Installed
One of the main focal points of a kitchen is the cabinets.
This shows not only your style but how much effort you have put into maintaining a kitchen
constructed of quality materials.
If you want to make sure that you are going to have kitchen cabinets installed by a professional
that looks unique and appealing to the eyes of many people, you will want to check out reputable
companies such as DeWils Custom Cabinetry.
Upgrade Your Appliances
Maybe your appliances are really old and have been malfunctioning lately.
Maybe they are just plain white and do not have many fancy features to them.
Either way, if you would like your kitchen to look as good as it can, you will want to update
all of your appliances.
This means everything from the stove to the refrigerator to the toaster oven.
You will want everything to match, whether they are white, black, or stainless steel.
Paint What You Can’t Replace
If you have to wait a little while to replace some cabinets, walls, shelving units, trim work, or
anything else like that in your kitchen, you can always learn some painting tips.
This way, you can at least give the old a new look until you are later able to completely replace it.
If you are new to painting, you might want to take your time or even get some friends or family
to help you.
Pick A Well-Thought-Out Décor Theme
While your décor in the kitchen may have a different theme than what is going to be found throughout
the rest of your house, it should still blend well.
For example, if you have a lot of earth-tone colors in the rooms surrounding the kitchen, you should
have the same in there.
This way, it is not just a visual shock when walking from one room to the next.
You may also want to talk to a designer or look online for kitchen theme ideas in order to spark a little
inspiration in you.
Find Suitable Table And Chairs
If you are worried that a lot of your budget will be spent on the vital things such as your custom
cabinets and appliances, you may be concerned that there will be no room in your budget for the
purchase of a new table and chairs.
Whether you wait and shop around when your local furniture store is having a sale, or you look for
gently used pieces in your local newspaper, you will find what you need if you are patient enough.
While this is certainly a redesigning task that you can complete on your own, you might want
to consider hiring a design expert to help you along the way.
This way, you will be able to show off your personal style in your kitchen in a nicely pulled
together look.
Have you ever transformed your kitchen to fit your personal style?

Hi Sahana,
It is always a pleasure to party with you at Home Matters!
I like the idea of recycling stuff (painting kitchen cabinets) to cut down on the amount of junk that gets dumped in landfills. Interesting post that I saw at the HHGN blog party. Thanks for hosting!
