As summer winds down and fall routines start to ramp up, it’s the ideal moment to hit refresh—not just on your schedule, but on your kitchen too. Whether you’re prepping for back-to-school mornings, hosting friends for football season, or dreaming of holiday dinners, your kitchen should be ready to keep up.
At Kitchen Refresh, we specialize in fast, affordable kitchen makeovers that deliver beautiful results without the mess or cost of a full remodel.
Timing is everything—and right now might be the smartest time of year to take the plunge. Here’s why:
✅ Less disruption than during the holidays
✅ Beat the rush before year-end remodel deadlines
✅ New product drops—fresh finishes, trending hardware, and new cabinet styles launch this time of year
And let’s be honest: it’s easier to plan when the kids are heading back to school and you’re not elbow-deep in snow, gifts, or guest lists.
This season’s design trends balance warmth, contrast, and functionality. Here are the top looks we’re loving (and installing!):
Soft Neutrals:
Antique White and Frosty White finishes continue to reign supreme. They’re timeless and provide a clean canvas for personal touches.
Matte Black Accents:
Black hardware, faucets, and lighting bring in bold contrast—especially when paired with light cabinetry or woodgrain textures.
Warm Wood Tones:
Think Light Maple and Rustic Oak with subtle grain, paired with quartz countertops and open shelving. Warm, cozy, and totally in season.
Two-Tone Cabinetry:
White uppers with wood-tone or colored lowers (like sage green or navy) create layered interest and depth.
One of the biggest reasons clients call us this time of year? Smart storage upgrades.
Add-ons like:
Pull-out trash/recycling
Roll-out trays
Custom spice drawers
Hidden utensil dividers
…are all game-changers during the busiest cooking season of the year.
Let’s face it—a traditional kitchen remodel can feel intimidating. That’s why our process is designed to be:
Fast. Affordable. Beautiful.
We focus on high-impact upgrades like refacing cabinets, replacing doors and drawer fronts, and customizing finishes—without tearing everything down to the studs.

“Every quote from price, date of install, to time the work would take place was just as promised with no surprises or excuses. The owners and their team are very professional and easy going. I’m very happy I chose this option to turn my 20 year old kitchen into a bright, modern room to be proud of and improve the value of my home.”
