You have decided to alter the appearance of your kitchen and remodel it. However you are working with a small budget which means that you must carefully choose on what you will be spending money. Here are several cost-effective kitchen design tricks which you can use during your renovation project.
Repaint the room – Paint is relatively cheap and can affect immensely the overall ambiance of your kitchen. So, simply head to your local home depot and purchase several buckets of new paint and repaint the walls, ceiling, doors and window and door frames. You can also use the paint to your advantage by creating the illusion that the room is much bigger or smaller than it actually is. You can do that by painting a small room in a bright and light tone and a large room in a darker hue.
Reuse your cabinetry – Replacing your kitchen cabinets can be costly. Refurnishing them however can be quite inexpensive. For example you can remove the doors and leave the cabinetry open. This will not only augment the storage capacity of your kitchen but it will also enlarge it as open cabinets and shelves tend to have that effect. Another approach is to repaint the cabinetry and change the handles. The fresh coat of paint and new features will instantly transform the looks of both your cabinets and kitchen.
Go with concrete countertops – Granite and stone countertops in general are quite expensive. Concrete counters on the other hand are very affordable and more importantly aren’t inferior to their counterparts in terms of lifespan and appearance. They are becoming so popular amongst interior designers that today more and more of them are implementing concrete countertops into their work.
Install a kitchen island – If you have bar in your kitchen replace it with an island as it will instantly augment the functionality and storage capacity of the room. It doesn’t have to be a large island as a small one will do the job perfectly. You can also mount a pot hanger above it in order to open more space into your cabinetry, use the free air space of the kitchen and last but not least add a more rustic feeling to the room.
Once you are done renovating your kitchen seek the services of a rubbish removal company to take care of the accumulated rubbish. You will need professional waste clearance services because for one you will be too exhausted to conduct your junk collection project and two you will have the peace of mind that the rubbish removal will be handled by professionals. If you are worries about the fees of such services due to your tight budget don’t be because there are numerous waste clearance contractors that provides their services at very affordable prices.
Extra tip: Buy new towels – They may not be the biggest and most visible features of your kitchen but they play their part in the overall ambiance of the room. Which mean that by replacing your towels with new ones you will instantly change your kitchen’s mood.
