Renovating your kitchen can be a challenge that costs money and time. However, designer hacks and advice can give your outdated kitchen a modern look without breaking the bank.
Let’s explore 12 Ingenious Ideas to Modernize an Outdated kitchen that will help you make the space more appealing, functional and cozy.
1. Change The Backsplash
Give your kitchen an updated look with a new backsplash. If you are not ready for overhauls, use tiles or stickers that mimic different textures and create a statement in the room.

The old brown cabinets can get a modern and refreshed look with a new coat of paint. Choose the color according to the space size, light amount and interior style.
White is an evergreen color that matches any interior style. Other trendy colors for the cabinets are mint and olive green, navy blue, creamy and lemon yellow.
3. Change The Countertops
Replace the outdated tile countertops with new ones that mimic marble or butcher’s wood. Both textures are trendy and will instantly give the entire kitchen an upgraded look.
Another advantage of changing the tiles with continuous countertops is that cleaning will be far easier.
4. Re-design The Space
If there is a partition wall in the kitchen, why not remove it?
It will let you use the space more functionally and make it airier.
5. Change The Knobs
A coat of white paint can give the retro cabinet doors a refreshed look.
To upgrade them and change entirely their design easily, replace the old knobs with new ones that create an accent.
6. Change The Color Of The Walls
Another designer’s hint to make a space look renovated is to change the colors of the walls.
In a kitchen with white cabinets and a creamy subway backsplash, the white color of the walls will create a neutral backdrop and the illusion of a larger space.
7. Add A Modern Backsplash
If you hadn’t planned a backsplash when you initially designed your kitchen, you can add it in time to give it a modern look.
This renovation requires no major overhauls, and you can even do it yourself.
8. Change The Places Of The Furniture
The kitchen is where housewives spend most of their time at home. This space must be functional and appealing to let the activities go flawlessly and be pleasant.
An idea to make the kitchen look modern and functional is to change the places of the appliances and the furniture. Aim to open up the space and place the appliances logically.
9. Create A Statement Piece With Paint
The kitchen is like every other room in the home, and it needs attention to look homely and inviting.
Create statement pieces with paint to give it a character and update its look easily. Re-paint all cupboards or all cabinets a different color from the rest, or pair the island with the exhaust hood.
10. Go For Light Colors
Changing the colors of the walls and the furniture with lighter ones in a small kitchen will make it airier and more inviting. White is a universal, neutral color that goes well with all other colors and styles. It is perfect for the walls and the ceiling to open up the space.
For the cabinets, you can choose another light shade that will create an interest without overwhelming the space.
11. Change The Style With Suitable Decorations
Changing the light sources and the decorations in the kitchen can give it a brand-new look. In this before-and-after kitchen remodel, the old kitchen featured a Moroccan flair.
Removing the backsplash and blending it with the wall creates a more neutral backdrop that is perfect for highlighting accents.

Change the cabinets and add more to give the kitchen a decluttered look and to be able to organize all items in it.
A functional kitchen always makes the activities in there more pleasant.
