If you have a limited space in the kitchen, you can choose bright colors such as yellow to make the room appear larger.

Be sure to purchase paints from a trusted brand because it is likely that your walls need to be cleaned often. You want to make sure that it does not fade easily.

This will give your cabinets a modern look. To complete the look, change the front into glass panes and keep brightly colored dishes behind the frosted glass. Change the old hinges and handles into stainless steel materials that you can easily get from the hardware.

However, if you factor in all the expenses in your kitchen make over compared to the usual kitchen renovation; you will find that you are still able to make a good savings of thousands of dollars. You can choose ceramic tiles to go with your backsplash. If you want cheaper alternatives, you can go for vinyl tiles or linoleum.
5. The sink may also need a make over. If they don’t look very old and worn, instead of changing the entire piece you can replace the faucet into stainless steel faucets that have a swan like spout and elegant handle.

Instead of throwing away, you can give them to charity or sell it in a yard sale. You can use the proceeds to buy new stuff for you home. However, if these things have sentimental value and you don’t want to throw them away, you can store them in the basement and maybe use them again in a couple of months.
• Change the color of your walls into something you have not tried before. You can either hire a professional to do this or you can do it yourself.

1. Lighting. A naturally lit room gives the occupants a more open and airy feel about the room. Although it is not necessary to have the windows face the direction where the sun rises, it is important that the windows are positioned in a way that it receives enough light from the sun to brighten the room. You can make your room appear larger by eliminating shadows. You can do this by using soft and even light. Ceiling lights will make your ceiling feel lower while diffused, ambient lighting will tend to enlarge the room.
2. Colors. Dark colors such as blue and red tends to close a room. If you want your room to appear bigger you can use monochromatic colors or pastels in your walls and floors to make them recede.
3. Textures. Smooth surfaces reflect more light and will help in making your room appear larger. Avoid patterned or textured carpets. Instead, opt to use tiles that have less or do not have any pattern on them.  Big mirrors can also help you achieve this.
4. Patterns. Patterns are good and they keep the room from looking flat and boring. However, having too much pattern in a room can be very overwhelming and it is painful to look at. Making your room appear larger can also be achieved by limiting the patterns to accent pieces such as pillows and accessories. The idea is not to stop the eye as it travels across the room.
5. Furniture. Limiting the number of furnishings inside the room will help in giving it more space and making it feel and look bigger. Another way to go about this is the proper selection and placement of furniture and appliances as it defines the space in the room. As much as possible, keep the largest pieces against the wall. It would also help if you choose furniture that are not necessarily of the same colors to your walls and floors but are at least similar. Choose pieces that stand off the floor on legs are made of materials that reflect light or let light through. An example is a glass center table for the living room or a glass dining table for the kitchen.
