If you’re looking for ways to do the makeover of your kitchen without creating a hole in your pocket then I advise you to read on as I highlight some surefire ways to help you cut cost on your kitchen makeover.
1. Re-facing cabinet doors
Replacing cabinets completely may not be an option, if you’re short on budget. So instead, consider replacing cabinet doors with new ones. Remember to replace the hinges as well as they tend to get weak with time. If you can’t afford to replace cabinet doors then think about spray painting them. A fresh new coat of paint can change the outlook of your cabinets completely. You can also switch out old knobs for new ones.
2. Garage sales and thrift stores
Garage sales, thrift stores and flea markets are great places to find inexpensive furniture that can look new and beautiful by just a little maintenance. So you have found inexpensive chairs at a thrift store that’d look amazing in your kitchen but you see that their color is fading, would you miss your chance at having those beautiful chairs for such a low price? I’d advise you not to. You can always repaint them and they’ll look new and trendy again. So next time you want something for your kitchen, do checkout your nearest thrift store or garage sale.
3. Paint
It’s absolutely amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do for your kitchen. With time, typically the ceiling of your kitchen gets dingy with smoke so painting your ceiling a white color with brighten up your whole kitchen and it will look more illuminated and beautiful.
4. Cut the clutter
I cannot emphasize this step enough. It is very important to declutter your space first, if you’re looking for ways to do its makeover. Not only does cluttermake your kitchen look messy obviously, but it also makes it look smaller than it actually is. So cutting the clutter and keeping your kitchen organized is one of the ways to make a small kitchen look bigger. This is a space saving interior design trick that you should incorporate in your home.
5. Replace countertops
To change the look of your kitchen dramatically, replace the countertops. The most budget friendly to purchase is laminate. This will bring an instant reform in your kitchen.
6. Kitchen floor
A drab and dull kitchen floor can let down the whole scheme of your kitchen. If you feel that’s happening to the interior of your kitchen then it’s high time that you update your kitchen floors. If you can’t afford to install hardwood floors then you can place a nice rug in your kitchen.
7. Easy-access cubbies
Use cubbies to store things that you need on a daily basis so that you don’t go out of your way to find them every time you need them. These cubbies can be purchased for a very low cost from thrift stores. You can retrofit them if you think they look outdated.
