Tips For Updating Your Kitchen

The most important room in your house is the kitchen. Your kitchen may have the biggest impact on the value of your home. If you feel your kitchen needs some help then it probably does and you may want to look into making improvements. The last few homes I have listed all had updated kitchens within the last few years. Most of my clients have replaced many items in their kitchens in order to update their homes. Here is a list of affordable ideas.

1. If your kitchen has been recently updated just make sure the room is clean and smells fresh. Before an open house drop a lemon slice or two into the disposal and give it a grind.
2. If your light fixtures are outdated consider replacing them with new track lighting. 
3. If you have old or ugly cabinets, you can have a professional replace the doors. There are plenty of professionals in the Walnut Creek area.
4. Look into installing new knobs and hardware on the cabinets as well.
5. Find out what the new colors are. If you have appliances that are dated by colors have them refinished with something new.

It's better to hire a professional if your not 100% confident in getting the job done right. Don't take on a project you can't handle, it will show. I've walked into many homes and kitchens that owners have updated themselves and the mistakes are obvious.
