    25 Affordable Things From Target That’ll Give Your Kitchen A Refreshing Update

    Even small changes can make a big difference.

    1. A set of standing pantry shelving bins that'll really help you utilize that awkward blank space between where your existing storage ends and the floor begins — or place these under an island or open counter for extra storage space there as well!

    2. A set of modern cotton kitchen towels because just replacing your old stained ones will give your kitchen such an immediate (and affordable) upgrade.

    3. A stoneware canister you can keep right on your counter to hold your morning coffee — it's functional and decorative, all in one.

    4. A cereal dispenser that, yes, will help with freshness, but most importantly is clear, so you'll never again pick up a box and discover that it's just full of crumbs.

    5. A bakeware set with a ceramic interior, so nothing will stick, and a carbon steel exterior, so heat will distribute evenly. Plus, it's colorful and fun, because you eat with your eyes first!

    6. An enameled Dutch oven you'll want to put in full view, so everyone will know about all the *serious cooking* you've been doing in this beauty.

    7. An air fryer-toaster oven combo that makes a perfect replacement for several appliances in your kitchen — and TBH, that includes the actual oven.

    8. A dessert stand to show off your beautiful bakes in the glory they deserve. Plus, you can use it to display seasonal decorations when you haven't cooked up any gorgeous sweets recently.

    9. A set of monochromatic nesting bowls because they'll fit in with any decor, are sturdy enough to hold up to tough kitchen tasks, and stylish enough that you can serve directly from them.

    10. An industrial-style rolling utility cart you can use as a microwave cart, a kitchen island, or just extra storage — the cart is your oyster.

    11. An anti-fatigue kitchen mat so doing the dishes doesn't have to be quite so hard on your feet, knees, and back. And it'll pull the whole room together to boot.

    12. A wooden cutting board that'll come in handy for everyday chopping and cute charcuterie displays, plus the attached loop means it can function as an ~aesthetic~ wall hanging when it's not in use.

    13. A rolling fridge caddy for a fridge that's as organized as the ones you see in those extremely satisfying TikToks. (Okay, probably not, but it's a start, yes?)

    14. A ceramic cookware set to replace your old, mismatched pieces with something that's durable, versatile, and gorg enough to appear in any photos or videos you might take.

    15. A self-sharpening knife set that doesn't just promise to stay sharp, it ensures it with a knife sharpener built right into the block.

    16. A folding dish rack so you can move it out of the way when it's not in use, which frees up a ton of counter space and helps everything to look less cluttered.

    17. A box organizer because the top of your fridge is not a great long-term storage option (yes, I am subtweeting myself).

    18. A simple tablecloth some might call plain, but I would call ~classic.~ I mean, any easy weekday dinner feels like a fancy meal served on this.

    19. A paper towel holder with a storage shelf because every little bit of extra space counts. Whether you store recipes here, spices, or even soap, you'll be freeing up space for something else in another spot.

    20. A pack of peel-and-stick subway tile for a perfect renter-friendly solution to that outdated backsplash. This'll give your kitchen that clean look and is perfect for renters because it removes smoothly when you no longer need it.

    21. A glass penny jar that can hold way more than pennies — store and display any number of treats, supplies, and dry goods in this puppy. Perfect for holding all your Halloween candy to give to trick or treaters!

    22. A countertop compost caddy with a super-strong seal, so you can transform your food waste into something useful without dealing with a stinky kitchen aroma or fruit flies.

    23. A cast-iron skillet for searing, baking, sautéing, and more. Plus, it comes with a silicone handle holder, so you can use it without worrying about burning your hands.

    24. An electric coffee grinder that'll totally transform your morning cup of Joe. Fresh beans make a huge difference from the pre-ground stuff, and this grinder is easy enough to use even while half awake.

    25. A motion-activated trash can perfect for messy cooks who want to toss a quick wrapper without getting the entire kitchen covered in raw chicken juice (🤢).
