- Be a bit more risque and try a totally unanticipated theme in the aged kitchen: Experiment with bolder colors like mango and yellow to use as a backdrop in a tropical-inspired kitchen; complete the look with palm tree wall art and tropical wall hangings.
As you can see, there are other options that most homeowners can easily undertake to bring color and brightness to the kitchen rather than refinishing or even replacing the existing cabinetry. Bright accessories, wall paint, cheerful window treatments, stylish wall art, collectibles arranged on the top of upper cabinets, and improved lighting can all make a big difference.
