Many homeowners would like to upgrade their kitchens but believe they do not possess the funds necessary to do so. However, the kitchen you envision for your home won’t necessarily require a second mortgage on that home. The following ideas will allow you to update your kitchen without causing yourself financial strain.
Refinish the Walls
Sometimes all that is required to make your kitchen look brand-new and beautiful is a fresh coat of paint. You will need to scrub the walls of your kitchen to make sure all grease and food particles have been removed before trying to add paint to the surface. It would probably also be a good idea to do a little sanding before applying the primer. Don’t forget to tape around the perimeter of the area you wish to paint. In this case, you don’t want to color outside the lines.
Replace Your Countertops
If your kitchen countertops no longer match your vision for the space, they’ve become a problem to maintain or they’re too badly damaged, it’s probably time to replace them. Upgrading your countertops can wildly transform the look of your kitchen and even affect your home’s resale value. When comparing materials for your new countertops, consider not only their beauty and attributes but also how much effort it will take to maintain them. For example, marble or granite countertops will need to be polished from time to time. These materials also tend to be more expensive. Look into laminate, ceramic tile, engineered stone, or even wood instead.
Replace the Flooring
You can purchase many kitchen flooring materials such as vinyl, ceramic tile, cork, or laminate without breaking the budget you set for your renovation project. All of these options perform well in kitchens and are available in a variety of styles. Vinyl is particularly easy to install, and in many cases, it constitutes the most economical choice. Laminate is also a cheap option, but it’s not as durable as some other materials.
Refinish the Cabinets
Your kitchen can sometimes be upgraded substantially by simply refinishing the drawer fronts and cupboards. You can put the finishing touches on the project with new pulls and knobs. If the cupboards are not in very bad shape, you will only need a little paint or stain and some elbow grease. If they are in good shape but need a little more work, you can also reface them, which is much cheaper than replacing them entirely. Cabinets and drawers with more damage will require more attention. Homeowners often put off the kitchen upgrades they desire for fear that they won’t have enough money to complete the renovation. The four kitchen remodeling projects we’ve outlined here will provide you with a significant upgrade to your cooking space without breaking the bank.
