5️⃣ Functional Island or Breakfast Bar: Level up your kitchen with extra counter space and a trendy touch. It's a game-changer!

6️⃣ Lighting Love: Brighten up the space with natural light and chic fixtures. Think pendant lights, under-cabinet lighting, and stylish chandeliers for that perfect glow.

7️⃣ Stylish Fixtures: Upgrade faucets, cabinet handles, and drawer pulls for a fresh look. Choose neutral colors for a clean and inviting vibe.

8️⃣ Eye-Catching Backsplash: Add personality and style with a standout backsplash. Perfect for impressing potential buyers!

9️⃣ Eco-Friendly Touch: Highlight any energy-efficient appliances for the eco-conscious buyers out there. Sustainability is always in!
