11 WAYS TO UPDATE YOUR KITCHEN WITHOUT A SLEDGEHAMMER GIVE YOUR KITCHEN A NEW LOOK BY MAKING SMALL IMPROVEMENTS THAT HAVE BIG IMPACT by: Judith Taylor, houzz.com

OK, so you have a perfectly good kitchen.

The layout works and the cabinetry is solid, but it just needs a little uplift. There are plenty of relatively minor changes you can make that don’t involve restructuring your life or your house.

Here are several you can try.

1. REPAINT YOUR CABINETS

A fresh coat of paint can transform a kitchen from dark and dingy to light and airy. If you are a few years away from that big kitchen renovation, this is a great time to have some fun with color.

2. UPGRADE YOUR COUNTERTOP

Changing a dated countertop will give new life to your entire kitchen and add immediate value.

I don’t know why we are disciplined to 30cm, but there are a few considerations to note treat our kitchen like it has a different set of rules when extending the top.

If your cabinetry and countertop work nicely but your room lacks pizzazz, a new backsplash can add loads of personality and really boost your kitchen. A bit of texture, sparkle or gloss will give simple cabinetry plenty of presence.

HOUZZ PREDICTS TOP DESIGN TRENDS FOR 2020

WOOD CABINETS, TILED BATHROOM APRONS, AND SOFTLY COLORED KITCHENS ARE AMONG HOUZZ’S STYLES TO WATCH IN 2020.

By Vincent Salandro, remodeling.hw.net

In 2020, everyone is looking ahead to the year to come. This is no different in the world of design, where experts are making predictions about the trends that will define 2020 and the trends that will be left behind. To help designers stay ahead of the curve, design platform Houzz has shared top trends it predicts will dominate residential design in 2020. The picks are based on company research, conversations with experts, and activity among Houzz users. Below are the 10 trends Houzz expects to populate idea boards and social media feeds in 2020.

TILED BATHROOM APRONS.

A seat in the bathroom can be used while brushing teeth, taking off house slippers, or idling away on the internet. Houzz is seeing seating pop up in the bathroom more frequently in the form of built-in benches or stools that provide versatility. The home design platform expects to see more of the same in 2020.

COLORFUL LAUNDRY ROOMS.

Designers have championed a recent movement to make laundry rooms enjoyable spaces to be in.

Houzz is seeing designers and homeowners introduce energizing colors, patterns, and features to transform laundry rooms into lively, cheerful, and quirky spaces.

FULLY WRAPPED, BOLD POWDER ROOMS.

Using bold style choices in powder rooms is not a new trend. However, a fresh way designers and homeowners are going big in powder rooms is by wrapping the entire space in a feature wallpaper or other similar material.

WOOD DETAIL ON RANGE HOODS.

Wood details on ranges can bring warmth and texture into the sightline in the kitchen and helps break up large expanses of cabinetry that are often painted white or gray, according to Houzz.

WARMER COLORS.

Neutral colors remain very popular on Houzz, but the platform is beginning to see more people move away from grays and migrate towards warmer colors, from coral to ocher.

SECRETS TO MAKING YOUR HOME LOOK LIKE YOU HIRED A DESIGN PRO Photo spreads in home design magazines can be awe-inspiring. Quite often homeowners wish they could lift the looks right off the pages of magazines and transform their own homes into picture-perfect retreats.

It takes an eye for design to pull a room together — even with inspiration — and make it both functional and attractive. While hiring an interior designer is one way to go, homeowners can use some of the tricks and techniques the designers employ to do a remarkably good job of improving the interiors of their homes without such help.

EMBRACE TEXTURE

The colors used in a home can add impact, but designers often utilize various textures to create aesthetic appeal. A single color scheme can be enhanced by various fabrics. Consider a leather sofa made more cozy with chenille pillows next to a rustic side table. Figure out ways to incorporate a few different textures to add depth to the room.

BE CAREFUL WITH COLOR

Many high-end homes showcase neutral shades that are enhanced by pops of color. If you like a rich, royal purple, leave room for other colors as well. Add touches of purple in vases, throw pillows and other accessories.

Also, many designers work in shades of three for room colors. There may be one main color for walls, another color for larger accents, such as couches and chairs, and then a third color that pops in accessories such as flowers, pillows and collectibles. These can be any colors, but the most muted tends to be the more abundant shade.

ADD A BIT OF BLING

Glittery items and metallics can add a touch of luxury feel to any space. A shiny table lamp, mirrors, a sparkling chandelier, and the like are easy ways to produce a high-end feel. Reflective surfaces also will cast light around the room, giving the illusion of a larger space.

CHOOSE A BIG STATEMENT PIECE

Many homeowners make the mistake of filling a room with several small pieces of furniture that only contribute to clutter. Instead, look for a statement piece, which can be a cabinet, armoire or chaise. Mix and match large and small elements for a sense of balance.

ACCESSORIZE

Finish the room with accessories and flowers. When placing and hanging knickknacks and wall art, odd-numbered groupings often look the most cohesive and interesting. Experiment with different scales and heights for even more dimension.

When inspiration hits, take some cues from interior design pros to make spaces look like they belong on the pages of your favorite magazines.
