How to Give Your Old Kitchen a Modern Update on a Budget
- 1). Paint your cabinets a clean, glossy white. This will modernize your old, dark wood and brighten up your space.
- 2). Purchase new cabinet hardware. Brushed nickel is modern and attractive. Look for simple, streamlined designs to keep the look contemporary.
- 3). Replace your backsplash with shiny glass mosaic tiles. A glimmering glass tile backsplash is very modern, and you can find steeply discounted tiles in a wide array of colors.
- 4). Install a new porcelain tile floor. Porcelain tile can be found for as little as $1 per square foot, and tile installation can be an easy do-it-yourself project with a little research and some patience.
- 5). Paint dated appliances instead of replacing them. Appliance paint comes in easy-to-use spray cans and can save you thousands. Sleek black will create a striking contrast to your modern white cabinetry.
