Before & After: Budget-Friendly Kitchen Refresh
You don't always need a full remodel to make a kitchen feel fresh and updated.
Here's what made the biggest difference in this space:
✔️ Removed the wallpaper border
✔️ Painted the walls a warm, light neutral
✔️ Added modern cabinet hardware
✔️ Updated the faucet
✔️ Installed under-cabinet lighting
✔️ Brightened the space with a new light fixture
✔️ Simplified the décor above the cabinets
✔️ Added a clean subway tile backsplash
✔️ Reduced countertop clutter
The result? A brighter, more modern kitchen without replacing the cabinets, and on a budget!
