Have you redecorated your kitchen lately? If it has been a while since you have you may be ready for a change. The key to creating a chic kitchen is in the floor plan. There are four different types of kitchen layouts:

* Galley: this is where the appliances are set in two banks and they face each other; * L-Shape: this is where the appliances follow a perpendicular walls; * U-Shape: this is where the kitchen is displayed on three walls; * Shape: this is where the appliances and countertops create a U-shape on the wall like a bar or counter.

If your kitchen is in anything other than one of these designs, then you’ll be stuck with simply buying some new kitchen towels unless you have a rich auntie who’d love to update your cooking space.

You may want to start on the right foot and hire a professional decorator to come in your home and show you how to decorate. Then you can choose your colors. Create a plan that you can stick to and only work at it in stages if that is all you can do.

Start with every designer’s favorite inexpensive tool, a fresh coat of paint. This is one of the most economical ways to transform a kitchen. Begin by checking out the kitchen ceiling. If it looks greasy and yellow, put on your rubber gloves and clean it until the grease is all gone. Then paint it bright white. You’ll be surprised at how much the kitchen lightens up.

Now what color do you want the walls? Because different colors affect humans you may want to choose carefully. Remember that warm colors like red, yellow, and orange can increase the appetite. Blue may decrease the appetite but it is used as an accessory. Black and white colors can give you a contemporary look or a Victorian look. The details is what makes the difference.

A detail that many people overlook is a good quality area rug that’s appropriate for standing and walking in a kitchen. A low-pile rug with cushioning will save the cook’s aching back. Be sure to choose something bright to match the color scheme.

Replace all the hardware found on the door knobs or drawers. If you want a vintage look then you want to use brass.

Lighting is the next thing you need to redo. You want the best look while you are in the kitchen working hard to create a meal. Fluorescent lights are good but they can make your food look wilted and unattractive. You may want to purchase track lighting, especially if you want a contemporary look. You may want to add a chandelier.

If you cannot afford to replace all your cabinetry then consider making the old ones new again. Take off the doors to your cabinets and sand them down to take off the old finish. Then use sand paper to remove the old look and repaint them. Now your kitchen is perfect
