Colorful cabinets

An easy way to make your kitchen brighter is to update the look of your cabinets. One of the biggest trends for kitchens this year is to paint your cabinets in jewel tones, like sapphire or emerald. These colors have a dramatic impact and look amazing mixed with natural wood accents.

Play with contrast by painting either your upper or lower cabinets white or another neutral.
Another quick, easy, and super cheap update to give your kitchen some personality is to switch out the hardware on your cabinets. This is a great place to add some brass accents!
If your cabinets are overflowing, place your best kitchenware on some open shelving.

Choose unique barstools

If you have a kitchen island or bar to pull up some barstools, don't settle on a boring option — find barstools that stand out! Think fun colors, contrasting materials, or interesting features.

Go for a monochromatic look

Creating a monochromatic kitchen might seem counterintuitive if your goal it to make the space pop, but by making your whole kitchen the same color, you'll be able to add decor that stands out against the uniform background.

Make sure that your cabinets match your larger appliances. For instance, if you're going for a white or black kitchen, you'll want to have either a white or black fridge and dishwasher.
Don't forget to match your smaller appliances like microwaves and blenders to the color scheme too (or make sure they are hidden).
Once you've created a monochromatic backdrop, throw in some colorful splashes. You can try things like bold barstools, beautiful flower displays, or a colorful rug runner in front of the sink.

Wood countertops

Wood countertops can give your kitchen a natural and unique look. Here's a list of their benefits, compared to their counterparts:

Wood counters are typically much cheaper than granite, marble, and other stone-like countertop materials.
They're hygienic and naturally sanitary due to built-in properties to ward off bacteria.
Wood counters are easy to fix. If you ever damage the counter, all you need to do is sand down the area to remove any dents or scratches.

Paint your tile floors

If you're looking to spice up your boring white tile floors, you can paint them with fun designs. All you need is paint, a stencil, and a little patience. But before you begin, be sure to do your research and choose the right products for priming and painting. Here's a guide to help you get started! And if you love the look, consider painting your backsplash too!
