Does scrolling through Instagram, seeing picture perfect kitchens have you worried about how you’re going to sell your house when all of the buyers out there probably want the Instagram version? Well here are a few tips that can help give your space a mini face lift without spending $30,000 on an Instagram perfect kitchen remodel so you can still be sure to attract lots of buyers!
#1: ADD AN ISLAND
Islands are great for entertaining and also can add a ton of extra storage space for small kitchen appliances, serving platters, and pots and pans.
The good news is that you don’t have to match the island to your current cabinets, you can have fun with it!
If you’re buying an island on more of a budget, consider buying an unfinished wood version and painting it yourself. You can even make it a pop of color like the trending blue and green cabinets we’re seeing lately so it stands out without changing the entire kitchen to a trendy color.
#2: ADD ACCESSORIES
Whether you’re going to be putting your house up for sale or just want to add some style to your counter-tops, adding accessories can make your space feel cozy and also more stylish!
You want to reduce kitchen clutter when it comes to too many kitchen appliances (goodbye blender, toaster and juicer), and other items that clutter the space. But, you don’t want the counter-tops to be completely bare so replace those not so pretty items with stylish accessories. Consider adding items such as a nice pitcher, a vase of flowers, a plant, a wire basket filled with pretty cookbooks, a pretty candle, and perhaps a bowl of limes or lemons.
#3: UPGRADE YOUR SINK STYLE
Is your sink comparable to the generic, shallow - stainless steel sinks you find in many apartment complexes? Or maybe it’s really scratched up and turning into more of an eye sore.
Replacing your sink with a modern style can make a big difference in your kitchen’s appearance without costing you a fortune!
If you want to take it even further, replace the kitchen faucet while you’re at it! Search kitchen trends on Pinterest or look at popular interior design accounts on Instagram for inspiration and to see what will fit your overall style best!
