As the Christmas season fast approaches, it is time to consider whether your kitchen could do with a spruce-up before the family arrives. Do your kitchen cabinets need remodeling? If you cant run to a full kitchen renovation, consider painting your cabinets or replacing drawers and drawers. It is also worth thinking about whether your sink or taps need updating. Changing your sink can give your kitchen an entire new look. Good lighting can also make a real difference. A trick at making your kitchen appear larger is lighting. Swapping out fixture lighting for recessed or track lighting can help you highlight particular features in the kitchen, said Angie Hicks of Angies List. Adding lighting underneath your cabinets can make dark areas lighter and appear larger, she adds. Fitting a waste disposal unit to your kitchen sink will also make your kitchen more practical, particularly during the busy holiday season when you are likely to spend more time in it than usual. And you never know, if you are lucky, maybe Santa might bring you a new kitchen gadget or two.
