Look for a stylish but inexpensive lighting that can make a strong design statement for the space. For under a $100, this small but impactful update can change the look and feel of your kitchen. 





Change out the hardware. 

You can find kitchen knobs and pulls online for under $50. With a little bit of elbow grease and a bit of time, changing your kitchen hardware can make a huge impact on your kitchen's look and style. 





Clear the clutter.

Here's one way to get your kitchen ready before selling it. Clear the clutter. Hide the small appliances. Maximize the space by getting rid of things that do not belong in the kitchen and tossing (or donating) items you no longer use. Doesn't cost any money, just a little bit of time.





Get a new rug!

An area rug in a kitchen is an easy way to improve the appearance of the space without breaking the bank and the inconvenience of  remodeling. The picture below shows a rug for $13.98 at Amazon (not sponsored...) which brings a pop of  color to an otherwise sterile-looking kitchen.

You can go with colorful, textured or decorative switch plates that draws the eye and add excitement to the kitchen. You can get the plates below from Amazon for only $19.99 for a pack of 4. 







Add a beautiful piece of art. 

Art belongs in the kitchen just as much as it does in other rooms of your home. Hang an art for some added interest. Decorative touches such as a piece of art is capable of enhancing the space and create a look of elegance.
