Kitchen Cabinets
Replacing kitchen cabinets is a significant expense.
But paint will make a big difference for so much less.
If you have high-quality cabinets in good shape, they can be relatively easy to paint.
Just be sure to remove the hardware and take the doors off the hinges to ensure an even system.
If you want a dramatic effect, go with a bold color.
For example, black trim against a white wall has a chic modern look.
Hunter green trim and moldings look sleek with neutral-hued paint on the walls.
The possibilities are endless here.
If you have a wood or brick mantel, repainting it can make it look and feel entirely different.
Go with a dark shade to contrast your wall and make the mantel pop.
Or, consider a limewash paint for something more unique.
Beams
If you live in an older home, you might have exposed beams.
If the wood just doesnt work with your current aesthetic, consider using a few coats of paint.
While many of us ignore these spaces, there are so many great design opportunities here.
Best of all, its unlikely youll need more than one can of paint.
So, this project can be very inexpensive.
