There's an old saying, "No matter where I serve my guests, it seems they like my kitchen is the best." However, if your kitchen looks too much like Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory, it's time for a major redo.
Redecorating when you don't need new appliances is easier and quicker. You can change the look of your kitchen in just a few easy steps.

First you want to pick a color that you want to go with. The most popular colors in a kitchen are black, white, and silver. You can always depend on these colors to look in style. You can add bright colors with accessories like towels and dishes.
If your kitchen is small then you want to change the dining table. Opt for a higher bar-style table with backed stools. This can save you a lot of space and make the kitchen look more modern and roomy. Choose a table that is scratch, heat, and stain resistant. This will make it easier to clean. Make sure the stools are vinyl or leather and there is a footrest to set your feet on.
Add a personal touch to the room by purchasing photo frames that house several photos in one. Then place them in a plastic sleeve to protect them from the heat in the kitchen and hang them around the dining table.
Here's a simple, yet swanky way to dress up the kitchen: Replace the knobs and handles on drawers and cabinets. Even if you're renting, this is an inexpensive upgrade. And if you're careful to keep the landlord's knobs, pulls and screws, you can replace them and take the good stuff with you when you move.
When it comes to an area rug you can't go wrong. An area rug can make a room seem brighter instantly. It can also make it feel comfortable and cozy in an instant. You want to choose an area rug that is washable in case of spills and stains.
Every kitchen needs a timeless timepiece. A classic clock face - analog, not digital - encased in an aluminum finish will carry through an urban minimalist style while helping you time the dinner rolls. Another place for a touch of metallic is with your salt and pepper shakers, or other spice or condiment containers. A brushed aluminum shaker set can bring some sleek chic to the dinner table.
Now it's time to look to the crockery. Don't throw out all your old dishes (unless they're the chipped blue flowered ones your Aunt Sally donated to you). Instead look for a few new shapes and colors to jazz up your current settings. Expect to spend about $15 apiece for good quality plates, so think of them as an investment. Bowls also can spice up the dinner table, and one of the big trends these days is for Asian ceramic bowls. They come in an array of colors, including black and white with a splash of red, if you're trying to keep to the urban chic theme.
Kitchen Decorating experts all agree that it is essential to use area rugs. And as discussed here one of the most popular ranges is the braided indoor outdoor rugs.
