- To modernize your kitchen, consider painting the cabinets, removing dated elements like the wooden valance, and incorporating mixed metals thoughtfully. - When updating knobs or pulls, ensure the new hardware matches the existing piece's style, metal finish, and dimensions to avoid visual mismatches and cover any imperfections. - Instead of trendy rose gold, stick to classic finishes like stainless steel or black, and create harmony by using a focal piece that combines both metal tones.
