Whether you’re a cooking connoisseur, takeout guru, or microwave master, chances are, you spend a lot of time in your kitchen. The kitchen is often treated like a central, just-passing-through consumption station, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for decorations or products that are past their prime. (Goodbye, rusting pots and chipped glasses.)

Spring-cleaning season is the perfect opportunity to update your space. And there’s no need to spend a fortune on overpriced upgrades, since IKEA has plenty of modern essentials for every type of kitchen — and they all look more lavish than they cost. Below, you can browse rejuvenated basics and restaurant-worthy accessories to spruce up your kitchen, regardless of your culinary adeptness (or your budget).

NISSAFORS Utility cart

This sturdy, wheeled utility cart allows for extra storage space in even the smallest of small-space kitchens. It’s big enough to hold utensils and countertop accessories, yet sleek enough to stash away once the cooking is done.

NEREBY Wall shelf

The NEREBY Wall shelf, made from birch and supported by steel, makes the most of blank backsplashes and small countertop setups. Free up cluttered space by storing spices, hanging dish towels, and setting aside sponges or cleaning essentials.
