- To modernize your kitchen, consider painting the cabinets,
removing dated elements like the wooden valance, and incorporating
mixed metals thoughtfully.
- When updating knobs or pulls, ensure the new hardware matches the
existing piece's style, metal finish, and dimensions to avoid
visual mismatches and cover any imperfections.
- Instead of trendy rose gold, stick to classic finishes like
stainless steel or black, and create harmony by using a focal piece
that combines both metal tones.
