Your Guide to Affordable Kitchen Remodel
Don’t worry about needed a lot of money, or hiring a contractor. No need to gut the place, just a few tips on how you can make it more appealing.
1. Paint and Wallpaper
It is amazing what a good coat of paint or some brightly colored or patterned wallpaper can do to really jazz up your kitchen. Light and bright colors can make the room seem larger, cleaner and just brighter.
2. Appliances
A few new appliances can really make the kitchen space look better, brighter and even newer. A well-loved fridge or stove may have served you well over the years, but it might be time to say goodbye.
Get great colors you like, get them all to match or mix and match and get playful with the colors. You can find some great deals at Viking.
3. Floors
Your kitchen floor really takes a lot of abuse. But replacing the tiles or old linoleum can make such a big difference to the whole look and feel of the room. Sometimes just a good power clean on the floor can bring up all the years of wax buildup or grime.
4. Countertops and Cupboards
Countertops tend to get a lot of abuse, as well. Nicks, cuts, stains, chips, and tears, just replacing them can feel like a brand new space. When the edges get cracked and come away, it can make the kitchen feel old before its time.
The cupboards can get dirty from greasy buildup, dirty hands, cracks from use. You can have them replaced easily, or, depending on the material, you can have them refinished.
If the cupboards are a good quality wood, have them painted, stained or stripped down to their natural grain. This can have a beautiful effect on the kitchen, and make it feel new.
5. Furniture
Old, tired and tears from years of use. Go out and find a nice new dining set to spruce up the room. You don’t have to pay a lot and you don’t always have to buy new. You can find great pieces at thrift stores and auction houses.
