While you\u2019re doing your spring cleaning, why not do a little kitchen refresh as well? After all, your kitchen is probably the hardest working room in your house and could most likely use a little TLC. Use these simple ways to refresh your kitchen for spring, like adding new window shades to your Raleigh, NC<\/a> home, as inspiration.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Get New Window Shades<\/strong>\u2013 Whether you\u2019ve recently added new replacement windows<\/a> or not, a quick way to breathe new life into your kitchen with some new window treatments \u2013 like window shades. You can also try out a new curtain color or have fun with new shades. If you don\u2019t have it in your budget for totally new treatments, at least take your existing ones down and give them a thorough cleaning.<\/li>\n
  2. Make it Smell Good<\/strong> \u2013 Spring definitely has a different scent than winter. So, if you\u2019re still burning your holiday candles or using a cinnamon diffuser, it\u2019s time to make your kitchen smell like spring. Try fresh scents like mint, citrus, or light florals.<\/li>\n
  3. Do Some Cleaning<\/strong> \u2013 The most effective and efficient way to refresh your kitchen, or any room in your house, is to give it a good clean. The best place to start if with your counters. Take everything off your countertops and give them a serious wipe down, and then only replace the items that are absolutely essential or decorative. No one likes a busy countertop. Work your way down from the countertops and finish with the floor.<\/li>\n
  4. Bring in Some Plants<\/strong> \u2013 Nothing says, \u201cHello spring!\u201d quite like fresh flowers or houseplants. Bring a little bit of nature into your kitchen with some greenery like a bouquet of fresh flowers, succulents, herbs or ferns. If you\u2019re worried about sunlight or maintenance \u2013 it\u2019s hard to remember to water them all the time \u2013 then try fake plants.\"window<\/li>\n
  5. Invest in Fresh Towels<\/strong> \u2013 Kitchen towels work hard, so they can get rundown, threadbare or stained quickly. Since at least one kitchen towel is out every day, investing in a new set is a great way to refresh your kitchen. Pro tip: get white ones. Why? They\u2019re easy to bleach when they get stained.<\/li>\n
  6. Brighten Things with Color<\/strong>\u2013 White or otherwise neutral kitchens are super trendy these days, but that doesn\u2019t mean that you want a space that\u2019s completely devoid of color \u2013 especially in the springtime. Refresh your kitchen by adding a fresh pop of color with a new rug, a new piece of art, or even some small new decorations like decorative bowls, candles, or even a bowl of fruit out on the counter.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
