A full kitchen remodel is an expensive undertaking, but you don’t have to redo your entire kitchen to give it an update. Much of your kitchen design is in the details, and you might be surprised how a few simple changes can completely change the room. At Cabinet Depot, we think that everyone deserves to have a kitchen that they love. If you have to come up with a creative way to stay within your budget, you can still have satisfying results.
Here are three affordable ways to update your kitchen design.
Refresh Your Cabinets
We’re all about cabinets here at Cabinet Depot, so this is a logical place to start. If your cabinets are looking a little tired and drab, there are a couple of ways you can give them new life. The easiest thing to do is replace the hardware. You can add some color or give something for the light to reflect off with polished metal.
A more involved option is to refinish or repaint your cabinet doors. Take them off their hinges, sand them down, and then give them a fresh stain or new paint job. Your cabinets will look brand new with a relatively small amount of work. If you have a little room in your budget, you can even replace your cabinet doors entirely.
Replace Your Lighting Fixtures
Every kitchen needs good lighting. After all, you need to be able to see what you’re doing while you cook. Whether you feel your kitchen is too dim or you just don’t like your fixtures, replacing them is a simple way to brighten up your kitchen. Check how your current fixtures connect, and find new ones that can attach in the same way to make it easy. You’ll feel like you’re in a whole new kitchen when you flick on the lights.
Redo Your Backsplash
A new backsplash is a simple and unobtrusive way to add some color or a new pattern to your kitchen. Identify a few colors that are already in your kitchen design and highlight them in the backsplash. It is also easy to find tiles in interesting shapes, so you can create a unique pattern and look for your kitchen.
