A kitchen transformation doesn’t mean you renovate the whole place with expensive tile countertops and more. Today, we will be doing some simple but elegant kitchen transformations. We will make it budget-friendly but quaility, and stay brand new.
Install a Stylish Backsplash
Why a Backsplash – Think of your backsplash as the hero of your kitchen. It protects your wall from oil and makes your kitchen look 10 times expensive. But Looks can be deceiving because there are plenty of ways to add a trendy-looking backsplash without breaking the bank. Here is how.
Peel-and-stick backsplash is your new best friend, it’s easy to use and the perfect option if you’re living in a rented space. But most of all, it’s cheap and easy to use, and it comes in a lot of different looks, styles, and options.
Another great tile idea for backsplash is subway tiles. Yes, it’s fashioned, but the classics never get old. Plus, it looks clean.
You can opt for a bold pattern or a marble design.
Tips – If you want a no-commutment option, go for the peel-and-stick option. It’s a great look, but it’s easily removed and very easy to replace.
Add Floating Shelves
Floating Shelves or simple, but their functionality is endless. Kitchens don’t always come with the space we need, but with floating, that can change easily. Floating shelves provide extra storage, and they can also be used to display mugs, plants, and spice jars. This is a clean, organized way to have more space and storage in your kitchen.
How to Style Floating Shelves
Shelves should be minimal, and a minimalistic approach and look will be the best option.

There are a lot of different Lighting options, but I’ll only add a few useful ones.
Pendant lights are a good option for adding a modern touch to your kitchen. They are made to go over and sometimes in under wherever you want to add them. Try placing a few pendant lights over the island this will give a modern look.
