Are you looking for inspiration for an upcoming kitchen renovation? Whether you’re doing a complete remodel or just a few updates, kitchen upgrades are a great way to add value to your home. The right updates will give your kitchen a fresh, new look while also expressing your personality.

From adding color down to the finishing touches, here are six creative ways to help you get the chic kitchen you’ve been dreaming of: 

1. Colored Cabinets

If the all-white kitchen trend feels a little too bland for you, it’s time to think in color! While white is still the neutral of choice, colored cabinets are here to add some personality to your kitchen. Choose rich, bold colors like dark teal, navy or matte black to really make an impression. If you prefer a light and airy look, opt for pale blues, mint greens and soft, creamy beiges.

Don’t want to commit to a single color? Two-tone cabinets might be the answer for you. Pair white or off-white uppers with the color of your choice on the bottom cabinets. Or, keep all the cabinets a solid neutral and introduce color on the kitchen island. The great thing about colored cabinets is that they can completely freshen the look of your kitchen without a costly remodel.
