Sometimes you find that your kitchen looks a little tired and worn down, even though it isn’t really that old yet. If you have great quality kitchen units and appliances they can last a lifetime, but a lifetime of the same old look can get boring! Fortunately it’s not expensive or difficult to make a few simple changes and liven up your kitchen again.
The key thing is getting the balance right – don’t spend too much when you don’t need to, but a little investment can go a long way. You can still avoid the much greater cost of a full-on renovation with a few easy, low-cost cheats.
Here then are a few tips on how to do it cheaply:
-
Get Replacements for Your Cabinet Doors and Handles –
If you only want to change the look of your kitchen then you can opt for just getting replacements for your cabinet doors and/or handles. Getting replacement kitchen doors is a fast and easy way to alter the appearance of the space, whether you’re going for a classic or modern look. With the choice we have right here at Hot Doors, you can’t go wrong with this one.
-
Use New Appliances –
Buying and using new appliances can help freshen up the area without the need to completely renovate it. If you need to replace one of your major appliances, consider going for something with a bolder style and make small alterations across the rest of your kitchen to tie everything together.
-
Buy New Fabrics –
A fresh new look is what you’re going for, so buying new fabrics could help. New blinds, seat cushions, table cloths or even tea towels can immediately change your kitchen’s overall look if you have a lot of neutral tones.
-
Go for New Worktops –
For a more significant change, you can look to your kitchen’s worktops. The most budget friendly option is to go for laminate, although you could also opt for draining boards, heat rods, etc. The trend is still for heavy, expensive materials so if you’re looking for a high quality finish this might not come under the ‘budget’ category, but if your worktops are really outdated a quick change could make a great difference.
-
Install New Flooring –
New flooring might also seem too expensive, but not if you’re going to simply going to have it laid on top of the old one. Instead of going wall to wall, you can have it going under the plinths, with cushioned vinyl and pre-oiled structural engineered oak as fine choices.
-
Feature Wall for Your Kitchen –
Freshen up the space by using colourful and nicely designed wallpaper. If the whole area seems a little too much for you, then you can simply go with a feature wall.
