20 Small Kitchen Makeover Ideas You must have a reason for typing 20 small kitchen makeover ideas into your searchengine. Maybe you find creative inspiration from the
way a kitchen is designed, or maybe you want to extend your cooking area, or you simply
want your cooking kitchen to look brighter and comfier. Here are some ideas for that kitchen makeover: 20. One Tone!
The vintage stove is so charming that even when the environment looks more current and
fashionable, your focus will shift to the stove.
The stove is certainly not something to remove
while doing a makeover. What you can actually do is to give the other
elements the same color with the stove. You may repaint those surfaces with highlight
colors that have the same hue as the stove. You should also remember to change the knob
so that it suits the entire design.
19. Painting without Sanding.
Most DIY projects require that you do some sanding if you're working with wooden materials. It is impossible to skip this process and still
get a perfect result. For this, you will need a rinse substitute,
primer, de-glosser, and paint.
First, unmount the cabinet doors and clean
it thoroughly with the rinse substitute. Then apply de-glosser and later a thin layer
of primer after the de-glosser has dried. Then paint the door and mount it back in its
place. The result is quite pleasant.
18. Concrete Countertop.
You can give the top of your counter a new look, using a concrete mix. Get the concrete mixture ready, along with
camuba wax, sealer, and sandpaper. Layer the old counter top surface and sides
with thin concrete mixture and allow it to dry.
Smoothen the countertop with sandpaper and
then add another layer. Repeat the layering process to get five layers. Apply sealer and camuba wax with a brush to
seal the concrete. This process may take a while because of repeated
layering.
17. Peninsula and Corbel.
Cover your peninsula with planked wood, so it gets a new look. Protect the edges with adjustable mold trim,
and use gun nails to set the plank in its place. Sand the plank and fill in the nail holes,
before painting.
After the paint dried, add wood glue to the
corbels and start installing them immediately. Set them on both ends, as if they support
the peninsula surface. 16. Countertops for Butcher.
It is very easy to cut your budget for counter top, but you have to invest your time instead.
Purchase a butcher block from the store to
fit your kitchen size. Then seal both the surface and bottom of the
block with sealer liquid to protect it from heat, scratches, and moisture. If you want to paint the block, do it and
apply sealer too. Next, you have to cut the area for the sink
and also join the corner.
Lastly, install the counter in its place with
a fastener. 15. Functional Kitchen.
When you move to a new house, the kitchen arrangement could be awkward and not satisfying.
Sometimes with an oversized island in the middle. You could make the space more functional and
good looking.
The basic rule is that the sink, stove, and
fridge should be in one continuous line. As for the oversized island, you could remodel
it by making spaces for throwing garbage. The idea is to simply wipe the leftover foods
or vegetables literally under the table. To make things look better, you could coordinate
the color of the kitchen and island countertop.
14. White and Gray Cabinet Makeover.
When you purchase cabinets from the store, they usually have similar colors. Lighten them up a bit with a white and gray
tone. Ask for a cabinet transformer on your next
visit to the store.
It is almost all that you need. Take off the all the doors, starting with the cabinet. Apply a layer of the de-glosser solution and
apply the first white coat immediately. Let it sit for three hours and go on to the
second layer.
Repeat the same process for the bottom cabinet as well. 13. Kitchen Refacing.
It involves replacing the cabinet door with one with a different style. In the process, there will be no kitchen re-setting.
It is an improvement for cabinets only. Start by purchasing your desired cabinet doors. You will also need to repaint the body of
the cabinet, so buy a similar paint tone with the new door . Unmount the old door, and paint
the body of the cabinet first.
You can then mount the new cabinet doors. 12. Charming Molding.
If you love your current cabinet, you can simply add molding just to upgrade the look. It will not take away the original beauty
of the cabinets.
You need molding wood, which you can easily
get at the store. Then get your ruler and take measurements
to align with the cabinet. Make sure you mark the area where you want
the molding to be attached. Try to arrange the molding and glue it once
you are satisfied with the result.
Lastly, repaint the cabinet doors and enjoy
the upgrade. 11. Fancy Range Hood.
If you use a built-in stove, then you will have a range hood installed with it. It functions as a fan, keeping the stove cool.
Most range hoods come with a trim design. You can upgrade the look with another trimming
trick! Like always, you need to remove the old molding. Sand the wood and create a trapezoidal shape
sketch. Cover the marks of the old molding with paint,
then attach the new molding and a bead board wallpaper.
10. Chippy Table.
If you happen to notice that your dining room table pedestals are chippy, you can also take
the opportunity to make the dining table fancier. Replace the legs with fancier ones. Use a half sized table if you prefer a private
dinner.
Give it a farmhouse look with several wall
shelves on top of the table. Fill it with delicious spices, and a fancy
decoration. 9. Pattern Countertop.
The simple makeover could start from the counter tops.
Again, you have to block the colors and pattern:
having two colors or two patterns in a single item will ruin the whole set. To solve the problem, you could stain the
countertop with granite color. Since the counter top would be the main focus,
use dark paint on the upper and lower cabinets. Pick tone from the nearby hue for the floor.
For the tap, it is suggested to pick silver
hardware. 8. Working Table to Kitchen Island.
Create your own kitchen island instead of spending too much money to buy one. All you need is your old desk, cedar wood
plank, and some paint.
Since you are renovating the whole look, attach
a wallpaper with a similar tone on the bottom board. Tear up the top board and replace it with
cedar plank as the new countertop. Stain it and protect the color with sealer. Attach a hook on one side to hang your kitchen
mittens and other equipment.
You may also install casters to help you move
it easily. 7. Expand the Island.
If your current kitchen island is not big enough for you to do all cooking preparation,
then expand your island by applying the concept of a table. You will get additional space on both sides.
Pull out the counter tops and drawers so that
you can build the frame. Make sure it adds equal size on both wings
and has one wide board on the top. Support the wings with fancy legs and the
board with chic trimming. 6.
Space for Oven.
If you got a new oven as a gift after your kitchen has been arranged, you would need
a nice place with no obstructions to put it. Make use of the space under your extended
kitchen island. If you need to build or purchase a shelf that
fits under the island. Make two rows on the shelf: one for the oven
and the other one for the cookbook or baking equipment.
5. Bright Classic.
People who like old comfort who definitely prefer this. Start with the cabinets that are mounted horizontally
on the wall. Pick a new color tone for them.
Pair it up with a two-tone lighter back splash. For the floor, use brick color and install
the tiles diagonally. Put two tall chairs with classic pattern seating
and low back in the dining area. Light up the room with candle pendant light
and place a flower vase on the table.
4. Peeking Through the Glass.
This allows you to display your kitchen utensils. Remove your cabinet door and cut off the center
square of your cabinet door. Measure the plexiglass and cut it.
Attach the cut glass on the cabinet door by
using a silicone gel. Allow the glass and gel to dry. Cut the trim molding to fit the size of the
glass. Glue it on the sides and hide the raw edges.
3. Open Shelving Pantry.
Sometimes when cooking, you may need to go all the way to the fridge just to get the
spices. You can fix this by building an open pantry. All you need is planked wood, oak stain, and
L bracket.
Start by mounting the L bracket on the wall,
to set the place for the wood. Then stain the wood with oak color and let
it dry before installing it on the L bracket. You can now arrange your spices in the pantry. And you can label the spices to make them easy
to locate.
2. Cozy and Preppy.
Make your kitchen look more fancy and homey by installing new lighting and hardware. For instance, you can replace the current
lamp with a pendant lamp and make the faucet slightly chopper with shining silver. You might also need to replace old cabinets
with a better one.
Replace old cabinets with a cupboard so that
you can get extra space for storage. Also, extend your window area close to the
ceiling to get more access to natural lighting. 1. Warm Lighting.
For this idea, you need about three sets of lighting to get the desired result.
You first install the first lighting inside the
cabinet that has a glass frame. Then you place the second lighting above the
sink and counter tops, focused directly in the center. The third lighting will hang from the ceiling. Paint the lower cabinet with warm orange tone and
use black tiles for the flooring.
