The kitchen is often the heart of the home, but it doesn’t always get the attention it deserves. Since the average American spends an average of 225 hours each year (37 minutes each day) completing meal preparation, serving and cleaning, so why not invest in a space that feels welcoming and attractive? Here are a few upgrades to consider in your kitchen.
Upgraded Cabinets
Custom cabinets Milwaukee WI are a great way to make your kitchen look brand new again. Not only can you tailor them specifically to suit the space, but you can even design each cabinet to perfectly fit appliances, provide organized storage space for special tools or even create a user-friendly mini pantry. You can customize the cabinet appearance to suit your home’s style, matching your preferred wood texture, color scheme and style of hardware.
New Sink Details
For a fresh sink upgrade, sand and paint the faucet and handle(s), or swap them out for an entirely new set. Chose a color that blends in with your decor, or opt for a contrasting color to make it stand out. While you’re at it, consider installing extra features such as a built-in soap pump, a dish sprayer or an instant hot water tap. To top it all off, consider refreshing the silicone seal around the sink as well.
Improved Storage
Whether or not you choose to upgrade your cabinets, you can give your storage solutions a boost. Choose matching (or perfectly mismatching) jars for bulk ingredients, install a tasteful spice shelf or transfer your drinks and glasses to a stylish bar cart. For small kitchens, consider space-saving solutions such as hanging pot racks or over-the-sink storage racks.
Fresh Decor
There’s no time like the present to swap out old curtains, rugs and linens for some fresh new ones. Look for fun patterns, soft pastels or even classy neutrals. If you have the space, you might even hang a few pieces of wall art too.
Updated Furniture
If the decor gets an upgrade, why shouldn’t the furniture? Switch out your bar stools for something modern, timeless or vintage, as the mood dictates. Add a pretty stepladder which doubles as decor and a way to access hard-to-reach cabinets. If you’re feeling bold, add a sofa to an unused corner — the kitchen is often a gathering place for people in the evenings, so why not?
Giving your kitchen some attention will make it more pleasant for everyone. With a little investment, you’ll love your time spent there even more than you did before.
