2. Lighter colors can do the trick for you as it can instantly brighten up your kitchen. As these can reflect light, those scratches, dents, and marks that are often visible in dark colors go unnoticed.

3. Replacing the cabinet doors can also give a great look to the kitchen. The lighting is the most important aspect in giving a feeling of a rich and expensive kitchen. Using the right kind of lights and that too at the right place can go a long way in making your kitchen to shine brightly.

4. Artwork can do wonders to any room in the home. You can be big and bold. Paint your kitchen utensils in stainless steel; this will make them look expensive even though it’s just painted.

5. Dressing up the windows in the kitchen can also improve the look of your kitchen. You can also add some style in the dining corner by placing some colored pillows and fresh flowers to give you that much-needed freshness and aroma.

6. Replace those old decorative items with new ones or at least keep them at less prominent places.

7. Small appliances are the culprits in making the kitchen look messy and untidy; hide them inside the cupboards and clear up the place to give a spacious looking kitchen.
