Outdated kitchen design reduces home aesthetic and resale value. Small, low-cost updates can modernize kitchens without full renovations. Common outdated areas include cabinets, countertops, appliances, and paint or wallpaper. Sleek, modern accents—cabinet hardware, light fixtures, decorative objects, textiles—refresh the space. Specific updates include wallpapered accent walls, layered lighting, new hardware, artwork, rugs, and replacing backsplashes. Solve storage issues with floating shelves or a movable kitchen cart. Begin by decluttering and organizing to assess needs, then focus on one area and choose affordable, targeted changes to maximize visual impact and value.
You can achieve a lot through small kitchen updates that don't require a lot of time, money, or effort. The kitchen areas that most commonly grow outdated are cabinets, counters, appliances, and paint or wallpaper color. Luckily, you don't have to paint outdated cabinets to give them a makeover, and there is a clever way to update other dated areas of your kitchen without investing in a costly renovation.
Kitchen accents are decorative elements that make your kitchen more visually interesting, like cabinet hardware, light fixtures, decorative objects, and textiles. Update and modernize your kitchen by creating a wallpapered accent wall, using a layered lighting design, installing new kitchen hardware, hanging artwork, picking out a new kitchen rug, or replacing an old, outdated backsplash. Before you begin, look to existing details in your kitchen for decor inspiration.
