1. Add a backsplash that has an effect

Installing a new ceramic backsplash is really not complicated. Did you know you can even lay it over existing ceramic tiles? Today, the choice is great and beautiful models at low prices are multiplying. Watch for discounts, end-of-series, home improvement center specials, and warehouse finds from certain ceramic retailers: you could transform your kitchen on a budget. The proof, this 100% trendy geometric pattern backsplash cost only $ 240.

2. Repaint the walls

It is the ideal solution to give a facelift to a room without breaking the bank. In addition, repainting the walls of your kitchen could well make you forget its other faults! The effect can be particularly successful if you highlight an architectural element, such as a sloping ceiling, or if you choose your colors carefully to create beautiful contrasts with your cabinets.

3. Add a service or a mobile island

If you can't change the cabinets, opt for an island or a mobile service. You will not only increase your meal preparation space, but you will also have the opportunity to integrate a piece of furniture that will bring style to the room, such as an old workbench or an industrial cabinet on casters. Well accessorized or possibly accompanied by new stools, the island will have the power to transform the space.

4. Integrate plants

Plants have made a notable comeback in our homes. Why not green the kitchen by adding a terrarium, putting some pretty pots on a shelf, hanging a drooping plant in a macrame planter, or placing a shrub plant in a beautiful basket? Certain varieties have become stars of the decoration (cactus, Monstera deliciosa, fig tree…). Play the green key in the kitchen and you can't go wrong!

5. Add a carpet to hide the floor

Is your old ceramic floor just too ugly? Don't panic, there is always a way to make it forget by hiding it under a large carpet! To make it suitable for the kitchen, opt for the outdoor models, which are washable and robust. Some types of vinyl can also be cut into the shape of a carpet for an ingenious makeover to your floor.

6. Change the stools

Trendy accessory, the stool is not to be underestimated to revamp the kitchen. Take the opportunity to find a model that will highlight your favorite style, whether classic, industrial, or vintage. Also, have fun introducing a touch of bright color through this accessory that will undoubtedly divert the eye from your old cabinets!

7. Remove cabinet doors

Another easy-to-use trick to instantly revitalize the kitchen: remove a few doors from the upper cabinets. There will then be interior shelves to showcase your most beautiful dishes, reflecting the very fashionable bistro style. You can also alternate a few wardrobes with and without doors to add dynamism to your layout.

8. Painting a wall with chalkboard paint

Black in decoration is nowadays adopted by many. It gives depth and a lot of character to a room. In the kitchen, prefer the "blackboard effect" paint, since it allows you to write messages or the grocery list using chalk. This is how you mix business and pleasure!

9. Hanging a pot rack

The cauldron rack, this object of the past, regains its letters of nobility in the kitchen, which it embellishes with an instant retro touch. If you can't find the item of your dreams, you can craft it by hanging a ladder, pallet, or any wooden structure you create. An easy-to-orchestrate low-budget makeover idea!

10. Change or add lighting

The lighting in your kitchen has everything to do with the mood you want to give it. Install lights under your cabinets or change the lights above the island for a more current model: a decorative detail that can make all the difference in the room.
