When you are looking to make some changes in your home that make a big impact with minimal money and work, you can focus on three areas. Those areas include the walls, the countertops, and the cabinets. Here is more information on how these things can make a big impact, and other advice you want to keep in mind:

Walls offer a lot of canvas

The walls can work well with the flooring and countertops, or they can just be the background that mostly gets ignored. When you want to remodel your home to get the best effect, consider using the walls to your full advantage. You can paint one wall as an accent wall, bringing in some of the decor colors into that wall and helping it become a beautiful focal point for that part of the room. You can also do something unique with a wall, such as having decorative tile strategically embedded into it. You can also have some artwork painted onto the wall, such as a few welcoming words in beautiful cursive, or a small mural in the center that sticks with the theme in your home. 

Countertops are just below eye level

When someone walks into an area, they will see the floor that spans in front of them, they will be met by the walls that are around them, and they will look down upon the countertops that are just below eye-level and thus easily visible. When they look at the countertops, you want them to be impressed at how well they go with the rest of the interior and how nice they are. Your countertops should go with the rest of the area, either by adding the right texture, by bringing in the right colors, or both ways in the best-case scenario. If you have stainless steel appliances and natural wood in the area, then nice stainless steel countertops may be great. If the color scheme includes black and the hardware is silver, then a black granite countertop with flecks of silver might look fabulous. 

Cabinets are important for the look and functionality of the space

The cabinets are at eye level for most adults, and this makes them a part of the home's interior that is highly noticeable. When you are having your home remodeled, you want to think about choosing custom kitchen cabinets. The cabinets should work well with the colors and decor in that part of the home. This includes making sure the cabinets have the right color, are made from good materials, and have features that help bring them up to another level. In some homes, simple cabinets that allow the other features in the space to stand out might work best. However, in other cases, installing fabulous cabinets that become focal points in their own rights may be the way that you want to go.
