4 Quick & Easy Kitchen Upgrades

4 Quick & Easy Kitchen Upgrades

If your kitchen needs a refresh but you don’t have the time or budget for a remodel, this blog is for you. Whether you're aiming to enhance functionality or simply want to give your kitchen a new look, simple upgrades can make a significant impact. Consider these four quick and easy kitchen upgrades you can complete with basic DIY skills and support from your local Lyons and Island TIMBER MART: 

1. Give Cabinets a Facelift
Your cabinets are one of the most noticeable kitchen features, and if you’re not ready to replace them, updating them can instantly rejuvenate the entire space. Upgrade your kitchen cabinets with fresh white or light grey paint, or add a pop of colour with a forest green or deep blue kitchen island. Pair this cabinet upgrade with new brushed nickel or black door hardware. Our kitchen experts can help you choose the perfect cabinetry colour and style, knobs and pulls for your DIY project. 

2. Refresh the Backsplash
If your existing kitchen backsplash features dated tiles, you have the option to paint the tiles or replace them altogether. Ensure you use the correct type of paint for a professional finish. Innovative peel-and-stick tiles are a great way to achieve a high-end look without the hassle of grout and mortar. 

3. Light Up Your Kitchen 
Lighting plays a crucial role in the ambiance and functionality of your kitchen. Illuminate your kitchen with out-of-sight battery-operated under-cabinet task lighting. Replace dated pendant lights with lighting that highlights the finish and colour of your updated cabinetry and door hardware. 

4. Replace the Faucet
A new faucet will instantly bring your kitchen into the 21st century. Matte black hardware is still trending in Canadian homes, or choose a timeless brushed nickel kitchen faucet. Browse various styles, including single-handed faucets, convenient pull-out and touchless options available in-store. You can replace your faucet in under an hour with a few basic tools. If you’re unsure about plumbing, our professional installers are ready to assist.

While DIY projects can be rewarding, we understand that some tasks may require professional expertise. That’s why Lyons & Island TIMBER MART offers kitchen installation services to help you achieve your vision. Whether you’re installing a new backsplash, replacing your kitchen cabinets, or laying down a new floor, our skilled team is ready to ensure the job is done right, on time, and with minimal disruption to your home.
