Where memories are made, the place where traditions and recipes are passed down among generations.

Luckily, there are a few easy ways to transform your kitchen without breaking the bank.

1. Open Shelving

Open your space and show off that décor with open shelving. A great way to modernize your kitchen, open shelving is taking over the 2021 kitchen trends. A few floating shelves placed where upper cabinets once sat can help bring in some brightness. Show off your dishes, cookbooks, greenery, or move up some of your countertop clutter to help free up counter space.

A quick fix, and often inexpensive, finding new fixtures to help update your style is a great way to change the look of your space.

Lighting is a great focal point sure to remodel your kitchen and dining area.

5. Add or Replace Backsplash

A great way to add character and style, an upgrade to your backsplash can make all the difference. If your kitchen is mostly neutrals, a fun pattern backsplash can help bring in some flair. Backsplash adds dimension into the space, so a raised backsplash can help to break up a room and add texture.
