Refinish Kitchen Cabinets
- Renew the life of your existing wood or laminate cabinetry by painting or refinishing them.
- You can also hire The Home Depot Home Services to refresh your cabinets
Paint Your Walls
- Giving your walls a facelift changes the look and feel of your kitchen.
- You can go for a drastic change with a completely different color choice for your walls, or go subtle with newly painted borders and accents.
- Even just a fresh coat of your kitchen's current paint color can brighten up the room to repair any fading or stains that have accumulated over time.
Replace an Old Faucet
- A new high-efficiency faucet will reduce your water bill while conserving water.
- Look for a style you love, since a faucet is one of the most-used fixtures in any kitchen.
Get a New Sink
Look for features like dual, triple or extra-deep basins and integral chopping boards, especially if you're an avid cook or aspire to become one.
Install a Garbage Disposal
- Reduce the amount of kitchen waste you create by installing an under-sink garbage disposal unit.
- Finely chopping food waste and flushing it down the drain will reduce the volume and odor of your trash.
Install a New Dishwasher
Installing a new Energy Star-rated dishwasher cuts hot water use to save you energy while fighting messy sink clutter — or the visual distraction and higher energy consumption of a dated-looking older appliance.
Makeover Your Fridge
If it's too much of a budget strain to replace this major appliance, consider giving your fridge a new look with spray paint or metallic contact paper.
Replace the Countertops
- Replace heavily stained, chipped or scratched countertops for a fresh look.
- Butcher block, stone, composite, stainless steel and laminate are all great options that will instantly update your space.
Lighten Up
Brighten up for a more cheerful, efficient kitchen. Swap tired-looking lighting and put new overheads and pendants on dimmer switches to improve ambience and energy efficiency.
Update Flooring
- Get a new floor in less than one weekend with click-in floating laminate flooring, which you can take with you if you move.
- Or put down a runner or area rug to increase visual appeal and comfort underfoot.
- If you prefer the look and feel of real tile, do it yourself with our tile saw rentals.
