Decorating 101: Quick style tips to revamp your kitchen

Source

Your kitchen can easily become your family room. Aside from it being the workstation in the house, you congregate there when you eat your breakfast as you start your day. Your kids even do their homework there. And you get together as a family to talk about the day that passed (which is why this is the most battered and used home in the house). What better way to reward this area than to give it a makeover?

But this being one of the most important spaces in the house, you cannot afford to make a major one lest you want to live without a kitchen for a long time. How do you revamp this space in the quickest and easiest way?

1. If you are used to having closed overhead cabinets, why don’t you change the look of your kitchen by trying open shelving. Make sure, though, that you only put dinnerware that you use on a daily basis as you get to clean them more often from dust. Leave those that you use occasionally inside closed cabinets. 
2.  Try changing the look of your kitchen by updating your knobs and door handles. You just have to scour through hardware stores and you will be wowed by many choices that you have. 
3. Painting is the cheapest way (that has the greatest impact) of updating the look of your kitchen. You may paint your cabinets or the walls. Keep in mind that this is a work area. The paint color will affect the amount of effective lighting for the space. Change the table and chair. Or if you want, you may also paint the existing furniture with fun, quirky colors to modernize the look of your kitchen. 
4.  Add rugs to make your kitchen cozier. Buy ones that are easy to wipe and clean up. 

After doing all these little changes, take an overall look of the space. Only you will know if you have achieved your desired look for your kitchen.
