It’s the perfect time to update the decor in your home and one of the easiest places to start is above your kitchen cabinets.

Preparing your kitchen for spring
Here are some spring decor ideas for above your kitchen cabinets that will bring a touch of spring into your home.
Greenery
Greenery is a great way to add some life to your kitchen and home. You can use real plants or faux plants, whichever you prefer.
If you choose real plants, be sure to choose plants that thrive in low-light conditions since the space above your cabinets may not get much natural light.
Some great options include:
- Snake plants
- Pothos
- Philodendrons
If you choose faux plants, ensure they look realistic and add some dimension to the space.
Baskets
Baskets are a great way to add some texture to the space above your kitchen cabinets.
You can use decorative baskets to store items such as linens, utensils, or even fresh fruit. This is a great way to keep clutter out of sight while adding some interest to the space.
You can choose baskets in different sizes, shapes, and colors to create a unique look.
Artwork
Artwork is a great way to add some color and personality to your kitchen. You can choose artwork that complements the colors and style of your kitchen.
Some great options include:
- Prints of flowers
- Landscapes
- Abstract art
You can also create your own artwork by framing pages from a favorite book, sheet music, or vintage postcards.
Lighting
Lighting can make a big difference in the look and feel of your kitchen. Adding accent lighting above your cabinets can create a warm and cozy ambiance.
You can also choose from LED lights, puck lights, or strip lights to create a dramatic effect, or string lights to add some warmth and sparkle to the space.
Books
Books are a great way to add some height and interest to the space above your kitchen cabinets.
You can use books with colorful covers or vintage books to create a unique look, or cookbooks or gardening books to add some personality to the space.
You can stack them vertically or horizontally to create a layered look.
Plates and bowls
Plates and bowls are another great way to add some interest to the space above your kitchen cabinets.
You can use plates and bowls with colorful patterns or designs to create a unique look.
You can also use plates that are specific to the season, such as plates with floral patterns or bowls with pastel colors.
Picture frames
You can use picture frames to display family photos, artwork, or vintage postcards.
You can choose frames in different sizes, shapes, and colors to create a unique look.
This is another great way to showcase your personality and interests.
Add seasonal decors such as pastel-colored eggs, bunnies, or spring-themed figurines to create a festive look.
You can also display items that are specific to the season, such as a birdhouse or a wreath made of fresh flowers.
Should I invest in custom cabinetry?
Spring is a great time for home renovations and remodels for many reasons. There is better weather, increased daylight, and tax refunds, and it is a popular time for home sales.
Some things you may want to consider if you are interested in investing in custom cabinets before spring are:
Budget
It’s important to determine whether custom cabinets are in your budget. Uniq Concepts can go over your budget with you and show you your options.
If you’re unable to splurge on cabinets before spring, you can still have your cabinets refinished and add your decorative elements above them.
Storage needs
If you’re struggling with storage space in your kitchen, custom cabinetry can be a great solution.
Custom cabinets can be designed to fit your specific storage needs, which can make a big difference in how functional your kitchen is.
Style preferences
If you’re looking to update the look of your kitchen, custom cabinetry can be a great way to achieve your desired style.
With custom cabinetry, you can choose the materials, colors, and finishes that best match your personal style. When you choose Uniq Concepts for your custom cabinetry needs or home projects, they use the most reputable brands, such as ernestrust, Miele, and Bauformat.
Resale value
Investing in custom cabinetry can also add value to your home. If you plan on selling your home this spring or in the future, custom cabinetry can be a great selling point.
Timeframe
Custom cabinetry can take several weeks to complete, so if you’re looking to update your kitchen quickly, it may not be the best option.
However, if you’re planning early for a spring renovation, custom cabinetry can be a great investment.
Reach out to professional design experts
Reaching out to design experts before spring renovations can be a smart move to ensure that your renovation project is a success.
Many homeowners enjoy sprucing up their homes before and during the spring season due to the warmer weather and extra money from their tax refunds.
