Best Kitchen Upgrades on a Budget
Five upgrades that deliver visible impact without a full renovation, prioritized by value per dollar.
Start with cabinet refacing to change the style and color while reusing solid boxes. Pair with modern hardware for an instant refresh.
Add under‑cabinet lighting for task visibility and ambience. LED strips are efficient, dimmable, and easy to retrofit.
Consider a single accent wall or panel system to anchor the space visually without reworking the entire room.
