Another cheap upgrade alternative includes painting backsplash tiles. This project  takes a few hours to complete and only requires, painters tape, cotton swabs, stencils, paint, and a few other small items. Something as simple as this can turn outdated kitchen tiles into a beautiful work of art with a pop of color for a kitchen. By adding matching colored accessories throughout the kitchen it can help tie together the room.

As a student going for an interior design degree I love the thought of expressing your personality within your  own home. Some DIY projects are easier than others, but I always recommend having a professional help along with the process when choosing colors, materials, and other items to help make everything  flow and work together within the space.
