Even minor kitchen remodel ideas can generate major expenses, with Remodeling Magazine reporting that the minor kitchen remodel these days averages around $23,000. Even people who are excited about kitchen renovation may balk at the price tag and opt for a smaller facelift that adds a fresh look without breaking the bank. If you want your kitchen before and after to look great even when you do the DIY kitchen makeovers yourself, try some of these small and large projects yourself in 2021.
即使是很小的厨房改造想法也会产生大量费用，Remodeling Magazine 报道称，如今的小型厨房改造平均约为 23,000 美元。 即使是对厨房装修感到兴奋的人也可能对价格标签犹豫不决，并选择较小的整容，以在不破坏银行的情况下增添新鲜感。 如果您希望自己的厨房前后看起来很棒，即使您自己进行 DIY 厨房改造，请在 2021 年亲自尝试其中的一些小型和大型项目。
1.Turn busy, dark colors bright and neutral.
改成忙碌、深色明亮而中性。
In general, adding lighter colors will make your kitchen remodel look brighter and more airy, a modern trend. Whether you add white furniture, beige walls, or buy a bright white refrigerator, you’ll be adding a more modern edge to the space. Note at least one place in your kitchen that could really look better with a touch of brightness.
一般来说，添加较浅的颜色会使您的厨房改造看起来更明亮、更通风，这是一种现代趋势。 无论您是添加白色家具、米色墙壁，还是购买明亮的白色冰箱，您都会为空间增添更现代的气息。 请注意厨房中至少有一个地方，如果稍微增加一点亮度，它确实会更好看。

2. Make clever use of small spaces.
巧妙利用小空间。
Note your kitchen’s assets, not just its shortcomings. Some small galley kitchens have high ceilings, allowing you to store rarely-used items very high up. Other kitchens may have too many appliances and lack counter space – consider adding an island, moving an appliance, or adding a rolling cart for storage.
注意您厨房的资产，而不仅仅是它的缺点。 一些小厨房的天花板很高，让您可以将很少使用的物品存放在很高的地方。 其他厨房可能有太多电器而缺乏柜台空间——考虑增加一个岛，移动一个电器，或增加一个滚动推车来存放。

3. Choose bright cabinet paint or add glass.

You can also opt to see everything inside by installing panes of glass in the cabinets instead.
你的橱柜占用了大量的厨房空间，所以让它们计数。 您可以将外面重新粉刷成缎白色或哑光蛋壳或其他一些在厨房改造前后看起来明亮愉快的中性色。 您也可以选择在橱柜中安装玻璃板来查看里面的所有东西。

Your kitchen backsplash is key to the room’s aesthetic. One dated backsplash can really spoil the look of the kitchen and prompt you to look for kitchen remodel ideas, so look into an understated neutral backsplash. If you prefer, a bold color can also be the perfect option when you’ve already redone the whole kitchen in neutral tones.
您的厨房后挡板是房间美感的关键。 一个过时的后挡板真的会破坏厨房的外观，并促使你寻找厨房改造的想法，所以看看低调的中性后挡板。 如果您愿意，当您已经以中性色调重新装修整个厨房时，大胆的颜色也可以是完美的选择。

Neutral Backsplash (Peel and Stick)
Bright Blue Backsplash Option

一些厨房的设置并不是为了容纳现代家庭厨师所需的一切，而是专注于充足的地面空间。 在厨房的中间或边缘添加一个岛台，可以放置更多物品，从而腾出柜台空间并使所有物品都触手可及。

On the other hand, life without the island might be better if you constantly have to squeeze past fellow cooks. Try removing an island or stand of cabinets and see if having more space is a great trade-off to feel the airy lightness of a modern kitchen in your DIY kitchen remodel, maybe even making room for a breakfast nook.
另一方面，如果你经常不得不挤过其他厨师，没有岛屿的生活可能会更好。 尝试移除一个岛台或橱柜架，看看拥有更多空间是否是一个很好的权衡，可以在您的 DIY 厨房改造中感受现代厨房的轻盈感，甚至可以为早餐角腾出空间。
