Upgrading the Kitchen Inexpensively
It’s one of the most traveled areas in the house, and any sort of party inevitably leads to munching on various goods in the kitchen. If you’ve got outdated appliances and are looking for an overhaul, this post is for you. Combining both form and fashion, follow these tips for a cost-effective update to your kitchen.
Invest in a good refrigerator
Gone are the days of bulky, energy guzzling refrigerators. Instead, they’ve been replaced by sleek, modern designs with accessories that you never even knew you needed (touch screens anyone?). For those that do want to spend an arm and a leg on a stainless steel, accessory ravaged fridge, a simple joint fridge and freezer works like a charm for keeping your groceries fresh. Brands like the Hotpoint fridge freezer can save both money and space, two things that every homeowner can use more of.
Focus on the little things
For a subtle yet noticeable upgrade, swap out old hardware, such as pulls and knobs on drawers and cabinets. A new bronze pull on a cabinet can add a touch of flair to your kitchen, and it can be done quite inexpensively.
Add storage
If you’re lacking cabinets or extra storage space, it’s high time you got some extra room. Instead of investing in new cabinets, use shelving instead. It gives the kitchen an open feel, and is easily installed and not very expensive.
To go along with the new shelving, try removing the upper cabinet doors. By doing this you can change the look of your kitchen at no cost. It also helps to add a sense of space, especially in small kitchens.
Switch up your walls
A fresh coat of paint can do wonders for a kitchen. Painting the walls a different color or style makes the whole kitchen seem brand new. If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, add a chalkboard to the wall. Not only is it perfect for writing down new dinner ideas or notes, the kids have something to do if they insist on hanging out in the kitchen while you’re working.
As you can see, it doesn’t have to cost a ton to upgrade your kitchen. With just a little ingenuity and work, you can soon have the kitchen you’ve always dreamed of.
