You don’t have to commit to a full-scale remodeling project to improve the look of your kitchen or bathroom. There are several ways to make significant changes with minimal effort, from upgrading the plumbing fixtures to replacing the hardware. Here’s what you need to know.

How to Revamp Your Kitchen & Bathroom 

1. Replace the Bathroom Fixtures

If you live in an older home, it’s possible that your bathroom is equipped with older, less efficient fixtures that drive up your energy bills. To update the space, replace these with more modern pieces. An energy-saving showerhead, for example, will reduce your household water consumption. Have a plumbing professional install a new low-flow toilet if yours hasn’t been replaced in years. Also, put in a new vanity if you want to make a large change without committing to a major project.

2. Swap Out the Hardware

Old hardware can make a space look outdated. Think about the impact your current hardware has on the bathroom and the kitchen. Items such as drawer pulls, handles, and faucets all lend the room a certain character and style. You can easily change the tone of the space by replacing these with new ones. If your current hardware is elegant and traditional, opt for clean lines and subtle metals to create a more modern look.

3. Replace the Appliances

It can be a costly venture to replace all of your kitchen appliances at once, but even adding just one or two new elements to your culinary space will give the room a new appearance. Look specifically for products that are energy-efficient, as these will reduce your costs over time. Have a plumbing professional enhance the space with a new dishwasher that consumes less water or refrigerator with a high-tech ice machine.

4. Add New Sinks

Sinks have the potential to change the appearance of any space dramatically. Think about the way your existing sink sets the tone in your kitchen. If you love the look of casual, country-style kitchens, then ask a plumbing professional about installing an apron sink. And instead of committing to a complete bathroom remodel, why not add a ceramic wall-mounted sink to give the space a spa-like feel?
