A newly remodeled kitchen can dramatically improve the look and value of your home, but unfortunately, a full remodel can be costly for many homeowners who are preparing to sell. Thankfully, there are lots of ways to give your kitchen a new look without breaking the bank. Check out the tips below to brighten up your kitchen space before putting your home on the market.

1.     Switch out the hardware
It’s super easy to give your old, outdated hardware a refresh. Warm up your finishes with a brass option in a sleek, modern shape. This will instantly give your kitchen an updated look, but it won't cost a fortune to achieve.

2.     Paint the cabinets
This one may a bit a bit time and labor intensive, but it’s very but it’s affordable and worth it.  Whether you opt for a dramatic black or a soft dove gray, a couple coats of paint will completely transform the look of your entire kitchen.

3.     Add open shelving
Shelving is a great way to showcase beautiful glassware or colorful cookbooks. Plus, they'll give your kitchen even more storage.

4.     Cover the countertops

A quick way to refresh is by covering a section of your counter with an oversized cutting board or a slab of marble. It works particularly well if you’d like to camouflage a spot with damage until you're ready to redo the countertop entirely.

5.     Add under-cabinet lighting
This will give your kitchen space a little drama while highlighting display pieces. There are tons of affordable options, including LED battery-operated versions that just stick on. It’s a great alternative to overhead lighting and looks especially good at night.

Whether you incorporate just one or all the tips above you can quickly and easily update one of the most important rooms in your home, which can help it sell faster.
