While I love a good DIY renovation, I totally get needing to freshen without rocking the entire house.

How To Refresh Your Kitchen Without Renovating
It is possible to refresh your kitchen without renovating in fact from cooking to refrigeration and all the little details in between, you might be surprised what refreshing will include. Recently I did a few refreshes in my kitchen and what a huge difference they make.
Snap That Photo
First, snap a photo of your current kitchen and then mark it up with things you love and things you don’t love. If you start with counter-tops I can assure you that you will be ripping out and changing and that becomes renovating. Look for simple things like, hardware on the cabinets, paper towel holders, towels, and appliances. Let’s break these down step-by-step.
Cabinetry Hardware
One of the easiest changes you can make that creates a large eye-pleasing effect is changing up the hardware on your cabinetry. I spent a few hundred dollars on new cabinetry knobs and the DIY process was easy and manageable within hours.
New Appliances

We have been in our house for 8+ years and I am ready to change things up. I don’t like dated functionality so it’s onward and upward, and it’s time to refresh technology and gain some statement appliances.
Refrigerator
I am dreaming of a new French Door Refrigerator in Black Stainless Steel. The one I saw offers a showcase door, metal cooling, FlexZone drawer so that I can find my favorite foods with just a glance. The Food ShowCase door keeps stored items visible and within easy reach. So cool and the energy-efficient storage is perfect to keep cool air from escaping, and metal cooling technology maintains a consistent temperature to maintain freshness.
Gas Convection Range
How about a Self-Cleaning Freestanding Gas Convection Range in Black Stainless Steel? With convection, I can bake and broil with better results. The fan system distributes heat throughout the oven, so your dishes cook faster and more evenly every time. Time To shop.

Don’t Forget The Greenery & Drying Towels
If you have assessed your kitchen, remember, you don’t have to paint to add-in color, in fact, add a few plants of different dimensions to the room and suddenly you have created a wonderful GREEN accent without touching a paint can or paint brush!
One of the most overlooked things in a kitchen and one of the largest statements you can make is through your drying towels and clothes. Don’t just grab white, express yourself with a few color combinations. Use your cabinetry color and hardware for color inspiration. Look for wonderfully different drying towels as they are inexpensive pieces to change out. Keep the ones with stains as rags for other areas of your home and display your new favorites. Add in a few potholders and suddenly color abounds in the kitchen.
Artwork
Artwork is so easy to find, simple to hang and really transforms an area that had no statement to one that makes a statement. You can use artwork to help you theme a room. Perhaps you like those little chef men statutes, then finding a piece of artwork with that would be ideal. From there, find the towels, planter picks and trivets and suddenly you have a refreshed room. All simple steps that really transform basic to awesome.
The most simple changes allow you to lavishly live change out loud and if you know How To Refresh Your Kitchen Without Renovating it makes you an expert in creative living. Change without massive changing is key to the good life.
I have been provided a Best Buy Gift Card in exchange for my honest post. Story is my own.

Since kitchen renovations are in topic. As we speak my mom is hiring people to renovate our kitchen. This is very timely.
I can use the towel idea. We rent at the moment and can’t do much with the kitchen. But choosing some cool towels will be good to put a little bit of character in my kitchen.
Great ideas. Redecorating is a great way to refresh something… and it also refreshes the mind. These are nice tips to follow!
Nice tips! Very helpful. We’re also planning to make changes to our kitchen too so this can really help out.
Great ideas. I want to redecorate but I think artwork will give it a pop of character!

Sometimes arranging decors in the kitchen and small appliances will make the kitchen looks better. The best part is replacing old kitchen appliances to new one.
Its funny! Even as I type this we installing a backsplash in our kitchen. It has needed one for a long time. I’m loving the tiles we chose. I think it looks awesome and we are doing it ourselves. I do however want a brand new fridge! That will have to come some time down the road though. I love those new fridges with the middle pull out drawer.
Oooooh.. We did backsplash and I am so happy we did, every day it makes me smile, when I don’t have to fight a wall for splashes:) Good luck with yours too! 🙂

Sometimes boredom from seeing the same stuff all the time leads us to thinking we need to renovate. Making small changes can brighten a room and make it feel new.
