Get new lighting
If you have an island or breakfast bar, consider hanging pendant lighting. A series of three pendants gives you sufficient lighting and is also in line with today's trends.
Chalkboard paint
Modern kitchens are a place for family to gather, and designating a space for young kids to have some fun is an easy way to foster that togetherness. "Chalkboard paint inexpensively turns a ho-hum kitchen into a hip family-friendly hangout," said HGTV. "Simply paint a wall or section of smooth cabinet doors, then tell your family they can write on the walls." We love the fact that chalkboard paint comes in all sorts of colors now, and you can also get whiteboard paint and magnetized paint.
Glass panels
New cabinets are expensive! You can lighten up the look of your cabinets without changing them out completely by popping out the panels and replacing them with glass; this will give you a more updated look and also bring more light into the space. "Replacing existing doors with glass-paneled ones looks like a major upgrade," HGTV's Scott McGillivray told Good Housekeeping. "Opt for frosted glass, if you feel like your shelves aren't display-worthy."
