If you’re pining away for a new kitchen but can’t afford an expert remodeling job, do not give up hope. You are able to transform an old, boring kitchen to a different, trendy look by making several inexpensive updates that don’t need a professional to complete. The best part of the kitchen upgrade is that you will probably recoup the majority of the cost of the upgrade whenever you sell the home.
It's not necessary to spend a huge amount of budget on kitchen remodel. Whether your financial allowance is small or sizable, you can get the kitchen you desire at a price you can afford. In fact, you can start
making improvements for as low as $50. Remodeling in stages is an excellent method to update in a manner that will match your budget. But make sure you tackle projects inside a logical order, or you could wind up wasting a ton of money. For instance, if you plan to rearrange cabinets and appliances, postpone on replacing the flooring.
Budget Decorating
Budget interior home decor is necessary. When decorating on a budget, it's important to be creative with your purchases. Set your priorities and stick to them. Ask yourself, "What in this room has to change in order to make it more functional and up-to-date?" In this kitchen, the color palette, outdated hardware, and cluttered spaces were of primary concern. See how, with less than $400, we completely transformed this kitchen.
Paint Cabinets Instead of Replacing Them
With kitchens, simple does not necessarily equal streamlined. For these homeowners the kitchen that came with their Atlanta condo fell short on both frills and function. It was a sad space, that included builder-grade
cabinets and white laminate counters. Opening the dishwasher blocked the oven door and vice versa.
Retain the Kitchen's Footprint
Most kitchens come in one of several pre-determined shapes; few kitchen designers ever do anything different, mainly because these shapes work so well. Whether the one-wall kitchen layout, corridor or galley, L-shape, U-shape, or so on, your existing kitchen layout probably works better than you may think. The problem may be more in the arrangement of your services within that shape than the shape itself.
Keep Appliances in Place or Move Modest Distances
Anything that involves moving plumbing, gas, or electrical will jack up your budget and timeline. This often works hand-in-hand with the concept of retaining the kitchen's footprint--but not always. You can retain the
footprint, but still end up moving appliances all over the place. One interesting thing you will find, though, is that you can still move some appliances without moving their hook-up. For example, a dishwasher can usually be moved to the other side of a sink, because the washer's hook-ups actually come from that central point under the sink.
