You can make big changes in a small kitchen without tearing down any walls. Inexpensive modification like redoing cabinet doors and adding colorful touches like a tile backsplash will add character and create eye-catching focal points. In the photo above, the wall behind the range has been lined with small decorative tiles that are available in easy-to-install mesh sheets. Frosted doors on the cabinets contribute to a modern, streamlined look.
