There are many ways we can makeover the kitchen. Some of us are thinking of changing our old appliances, some others would like to replace their cabinets or simply take every single thing from the wall and throw it out to the dumpster. Whether you are planning a major kitchen makeover, or just want to make a few changes here and there, then you’ll love these ideas.

The kitchen is an essential room in the house: it is where family life is in full swing. We prepare good meals there while the children do their homework, we eat together, we chat there for hours. It is also in the kitchen that you receive your friends, for a coffee or an aperitif. 

And, today, we even telecommute there sometimes! So whether it is classic or modern, closed or open, the more the kitchen looks like us, the more we feel good there. But changing the kitchen is a hell of a decision!

What if we embarked on a renovation instead? There are indeed a host of ideas and tips for modernizing your kitchen or kitchenette and adding useful features that improve everyday life. How to revamp your kitchen so that it meets our needs while perfectly expressing our tastes?

Paint the facades of furniture to wake up your kitchen

Your kitchen is no longer to your liking and you dream of waking it up a little? The good trick to revisit everything without changing either furniture or banker is to repaint it. Because in the kitchen it is the fronts of the many cupboards that set the tone.

In terms of color, it’s up to you to choose.  But the more you opt for bold colors in a classic or authentic kitchen, the more contrast you will create will bring freshness to a modern kitchen.

Which paint to choose to repaint your facades? Today, there are many ranges of resistant paints specially designed to withstand shocks, stains, splashes of water, and household products on the fronts of kitchen furniture and the tiles of the splashback.

Change handles and accessories for a more modern kitchen

Sometimes you just need to change a few details to transform the style of a room.

Add industrial handles to freshen up a country kitchen. Install shelves to modernize a classic kitchen with a few decorative objects. Green in small touches with pretty pots of aromatics to breathe a modern kitchen in the middle of the city.

Your best ally in a small closed kitchen or a large American kitchen? The credenza bar allows you to play the card of displaying a host of accessories, from the practical and designer utensil to the collection of spices or the beautiful bottle of olive oil.

Moreover, today zero waste is also proudly displayed in the kitchen: pretty dishes, glass jars, bread boxes, soap dispensers… The goal is to combine commitment, practicality, and decoration with a beautiful collection effect.

On the practical side, changing the look of your kitchen just with details does not require too much work or too much expense!
 

Change work plan to give a facelift

Is it scratched, stained by humidity, or burnt? In short, you dream of giving your worktop a facelift on your furniture or your kitchen island.

Everything is possible if it is made of wood.  The simplest method is to sand it to fade stains and scratches. Then cover it with a high resistance protective varnish.

Whether it is tiled, wooden, laminate, melamine, you can also choose to repaint your worktop thanks to ultra-resistant paints designed to easily provide a kitchen makeover.

If it is not damaged by humidity,you can cover it with another material. For example, ultra-thin 1cm laminate plate, flat tiles, waxed concrete, etc to give it a radically new look.

And for those who want to make a clean sweep of the past, we change it from A to Z. The opportunity to ask yourself the right questions to choose the material that will best accompany your life in the kitchen. Rather wood for the natural side, easy-care laminate, or solid and durable stainless steel?

Change your sink or faucet

On the one hand, there are fans of the stainless steel tank, and on the other ceramic or resin. There are those who dream of a “chef” tap for a professional kitchen and those who prefer designer taps in a color that matches the worktop or handles. Yes, we can debate for hours on the choice of the right sink and faucet in the kitchen!

Except that, as always, there is no single, universal answer. In the kitchen, the most suitable and beautiful faucet sink will always be the ones you have chosen yourself. In terms of style, today everything is possible. 

Sinks and taps offer a wide range of shapes and colors, from the most classic to the most modern and designer, to give your kitchen makeover a glamorous vintage look or a high-tech style worthy of starred chefs.

Brighten up your kitchen with well-thought-out lighting

It is said that sometimes all it takes is a look… However, a little light is often enough to transform a room!

Choosing the right lighting in the kitchen is crucial. It is important to ensure that you have direct lighting where the gestures must be precise and efficient. For example
above the worktop, the central island, and the cooking zone. 

What should you choose to properly illuminate these areas? Light strips, LED spotlights, fluorescent strips slide under the wall units in your kitchen.

But you also have to make sure that the general atmosphere is harmonious to create a room where you really want to spend time. Once again, you are spoiled for choice! Spotlights, wall lights, ceiling lights, pendant lights can radically change the style of a kitchen. 

Industrial, glamorous, design, bohemian… Whether contemporary or classic, all you have to do is choose the light that will bring a new decorative touch to your kitchen.

Optimize your storage to simplify your life

Yes, you can revamp your kitchen just by tidying it up. We are obviously not talking here about the happy little mess inevitably linked to everyday life. The challenge is rather to take a step back and look at which corners of the kitchen could be cleared to save space.

Once we have identified the areas of “overflow” to be optimized, we can look at the solutions. Because they are very varied.

Additional accessories on the splashback to free up the worktop, accessories to optimize interior storage, a place for bins in a cupboard, shelves between two wall units, or a storage column to store foodstuffs within easy reach. 

Hope these kitchen makeover ideas help you to create the home in your dreams!
