Budget Friendly Kitchen Facelifts
You can’t deny the fact, that a warm and cozy kitchen is the heart of the home. So, if your kitchen needs some work, it is high time that you do a little kitchen remodeling. However, you don’t need spend a lot to make major changes to an outdated kitchen. Add style and function with the following affordable upgrades.
LIGHTEN IT UP - Being able to see what you’re doing in the kitchen is essential. Brighten your room with a ceiling light, mini pendants and under-cabinet lighting…add control with dimmers. Lighting helps to add some ambiance.
PAINT SOMETHING - If you can’t afford to replace your kitchen cabinets, try painting them, it will make a huge difference in the space. Using a bright white paint can draw attention away from dated door profiles. You can also paint your old appliances using a durable epoxy that is specially designed for appliances. If you don’t have the time, or the skill, to paint the cabinets or appliances, you should find something to paint instead. A bump out! A single accent wall! Anything!
INSTALL A NEW FAUCET - Shop for a faucet with the same specs as your existing one, so that you can easily swap it out without having to replace your sink or drill new holes in your countertop. You’ll be amazed at the difference a new faucet will make!
DRESS UP THE CABINETS - To convey custom style during a budget kitchen remodel, dress up the cabinetry with new, sleek door and drawer handles.
FRAME THE FRIDGE - Adding panels to flank a refrigerator creates a custom look and gives the appearance of a high-end, built-in model.
PICK UP SOME PLANTS - Plants make everything better. For a kitchen, we recommend growing your own herbs such as basil, thyme, parsley, or rosemary. Hearty houseplant options include aloe vera plants, spider plants, and English ivy.
HANG SOME ART - Framed art belongs in your kitchen just as much as it belongs in your dining or living room. If you are going to spend time in the kitchen perfecting recipes, it helps to have nice artwork to look at while you work.
If you’re going to be selling your home in the near future, giving your kitchen a mini face lift is one of the best, budget friendly projects that can add value!
