16 Mar Budget-Friendly Ways To Update Your Kitchen

Many say that the kitchen is the heart of the home.

 
Whether large or small, the kitchen is the hub of the home. It’s where meals are prepared, and families and friends gather. For a room that receives so much attention, you want to make sure it’s a functional and pleasant space.

People often think that kitchen renovation projects and upgrades are always pricey, but that really depends on the scale and scope of the project. Of course, if you’re planning to remodel your entire kitchen and update all of your appliances, it can cost a lot. But if you’re just looking to add a breath of fresh air to your current design and change the vibe in your kitchen with small upgrades and new décor pieces, the truth is that you can easily do so without your budget even noticing the difference.

If you’ve been thinking about updating your kitchen, but don’t think you have the budget, there are ways to give your kitchen a revamp without putting a big hole in your wallet.

One of the easiest ways you can update the look of your kitchen is by adding personality to the space. You can achieve this with a chic patterned rug or interesting wallpaper. Bringing some unique textures and designs into any space will instantly make it feel more personal, which can definitely benefit your kitchen.

Whether you are planning to invest your own sweat equity in a complete kitchen remodel or simply hope to make a few quick changes over the weekend, when every penny counts it’s important to choose projects that will make a big impact for the lowest price possible.

Stay focused on the results you desire (put on blinders when you walk past those $1,000 light fixtures) and be willing to get your hands a bit paint splattered, and you can certainly achieve beautiful results on just about any budget.

From paint and hardware to DIY projects and sources for budget materials, these ideas will help you plan your kitchen update.

Paint

Never underestimate the power of a fresh coat of paint. Whether you do the work yourself or hire a professional, painting can make a big difference when you want to update your kitchen.

Install Or Repaint The Cabinets

Kitchen cabinets are the focal point of the kitchen. Depending on your budget and your skill level, consider installing budget-friendly new cabinets or painting.

Install New Lighting

New lighting can brighten your kitchen and add style. Stylish new pendant lights can easily become the new focal point of the room, and you can get them for a couple hundred dollars, so they won’t break the bank.

Add New Hardware

Like cabinets, new hardware can make a big difference.

Upgrade The Appliances

A new appliance can add efficiency and beauty, and you can find gently-used appliances that fit your budget.

Add New Flooring Or Paint New Flooring

Like cabinets, flooring has a big impact on how your kitchen looks. You can find tile or laminate flooring at great prices, or consider painting your floor for a fresh look.

The Re-Store Warehouse is a great place to find what you need to update your kitchen without blowing your budget. An added bonus is that your purchases help support the less fortunate of Cumberland County while promoting sustainability of our environment.
