If you have a kitchen hats messy as hell why not transform it.  Any kind of cookery can be converted in to a fantabulous one. With little modifications and careful utilization of ideas, indeed the cook house can be converted in to a beautiful one. Here are some tips to turn your cook room in to a beautiful cooking station:

Paint the existing cabinets

Internet if flooded with DIY ideas and techniques. This is one of the oldest and the best technique to decorate the kitchen. Most of the times your  scullery would be in a withered state due to its cabinets. They may be well functional but their appearance might have given out. For such a problem it’s better to paint the existing cabinets rather than opting to get an entirely new one. It does not require a professional to do it and even you can do it on your own. Cabinets occupy a greater space and hence they need to be well maintained.

Updating the hardware

Updating the cabinet hardware would change the look of your kitchen entirely. It needs measurement of pre drilled holes. You can either get something which can be fixed in the same holes or something new.

Lights

Lights also make a great difference to the look of the cook house especially after evening. They way you have placed lights would have greater impact on the overall visibility. There should be recessed lights as well as task lights. To add the touch of elegance in the cookery, you can place a small chandelier. Have a centre point to access and control all the lights. When there is no work, you can place it on dimmer and subtle lighting.

Say no to Fake Valances

Fake wooden valances should be out of kitchen and not in it. Removing them would give a clean and neat look.

Have a beautiful Counter top

Countertop contributes a lot towards the way your kitchen look. It adds the style element to the ugly and boring scullery. For those budget is not an issue can have beautiful marble or granite countertops and for those working on limited budgets, laminate is a good option. It can mimic marble or granite and gives equally stunning appearance.

Taps

They are the most important part of your entire cookery. While everything in the cook room is just perfect and the taps are not in a proper shape, it would leave that 40% ugliness. They are highly visible and most used things in the kitchen. Even if someone else access your cookery, a traditional kitchen taps in an elegant design would just look perfect.

Lastly, Paint your kitchen in a different color

While the rest of the house in one particular color, do not introduce the same color in kitchen as well. It needs to be in a different color. The colors would separate it from the rest of the house. It highly elevates the style.
