1. Simplistic Backsplash Tile
One of the smartest additions you can make to a kitchen is simple backsplash tile.

2. Go Vintage
Vintage decor doesn’t have to look or feel dated. Not so long ago, white kitchens with faint hints of black and other colors were quite popular. We’re talking white cabinets, white backsplash, and white marble or granite countertops. You cannot go wrong with a white kitchen.

A bright and neutral kitchen is comfortable, simple, and functional. If white isn’t your forte, consider a very light gray to add a little contrast to the room.
- Stay Neutral
is one of the toughest parts of interior design. If you want a palette that is versatile and will last throughout the years, it’s best to stick to a neutral palette. Gray and white work beautifully with warm wood accents, creating a warm and comfortable room that’s perfect for family meals and entertaining.

4. New Doors

While farm sinks are quite popular on Pinterest, they’ve been around long before social media existed. If you’re looking for a deep sink that can hold plenty of water (and dishes!), consider replacing your traditional stainless steel sink with a farm sink.
These sinks are extremely comfortable to use and are ideal for washing large dishes like pots, baking seats, and even casserole pans. Since these sinks have been around for decades, you can rest assured they’ll still be quite trendy well into the future.

When selecting a pot rack, go with a finish that blends with the rest of the kitchen. If you have stainless steel appliances and cabinet hardware, your pot rack should follow suite. You’ll find pot racks in a variety of finishes including black, copper, and white. If you’re feeling a bit bold, refinish a pot rack with your own color choice!
