It's easy to change the look of your kitchen without spending too much. Updating your gourmet space does not need a complete overhaul. Changing the paint of the cabinet or adding additional storage in your space can create a big impact. Here are a few kitchen makeover ideas that you can try on a budget:
Cabinets
Some kitchens lack frills and look boring after a number of years. One of the kitchen makeover ideas that you can make is repainting the cabinets instead of purchasing a new one. Check some of the few affordable design ideas for the cabinets in This Old House.
Counters
Choose counters that are easy to maintain. Marbles and natural stones look great in the kitchen, but they are also expensive. The cost doesn't stop when you buy them, as you also need additional budget in maintaining them. A good option is to install quartz in the countertop. Quartz is durable and comes in various colors, making it a good investment.
"Counters, especially in open concept layouts, play a prominent visual and functional role in the kitchen. When we work with clients on kitchens, I often build the budget around the countertops," Toronto-based interior stylist Lisa Canning said.
Backsplashes
According to Canning, backplashes is a portion in the kitchen where a homeowner can express his or her personality and display the color and pattern he or she wants. Style at Home suggests porcelain subway which is budget-friendly for everyone. It is available in assorted colors and designs that can fit any kitchen. For a variety of choices, check out retailers such as Habitat for Humanity's Re-Store, Craigslist and Kijiji.
Floors
Updating the floors is one of the kitchen makeover ideas that you can easily do at home without spending much. There are cheaper flooring options that you can try such as marmoleum, sticker tiles, and porcelain tiles. These tile options are affordable, available in a variety of designs and come with less maintenance.
Storage
Why not install new storage spaces in your kitchen? Updating your kitchen can be done effortlessly by installing additional open shelves in your gourmet area. Shelves or extra storage areas can swiftly create a huge impact to your kitchen.
