Kitchen Remodel Ideas that are Friendly on the Wallet

Remodeling your kitchen gives you the rare opportunity to finally get the look and feel of the space right. 

Perhaps your kitchen is out of date, the flow doesn't quite work for preparing meals, or maybe your kitchen just lacks adequate space.

To do a complete kitchen renovation could cost you a fortune, but there are some simple things you can do to remodel your kitchen on a budget.

Here is a look at some budget-friendly renovations you can do to transform your kitchen:

Reface the Cabinets

Refacing existing cabinets is much cheaper than purchasing and installing a whole new set. Your kitchen cabinets may already be the perfect size and in the perfect place in your kitchen as it is, only requiring that they need a facelift.

If you are lucky enough to have wooden cabinets, you can easily strip the paint or stain and give them a fresh coat in a new color.

No matter what kind of cabinets you have, you can also change the look of them quickly by installing new hardware and knobs. Need some inspiration?

Here is a look at the hottest trends in cabinet design. 

Change the Backsplash

Your kitchen's backsplash should be as fun as it is function. Not only does a backsplash protect the walls in your kitchen from grease and water damage, but it also instantly gives the room some pizazz.

Backsplashes are commonly made from tile, glass, and metal, and come in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. You can purchase meshed backsplash pieces that are already arranged in a pattern and just need to be plastered in place, or you can create your own design using individual tiles.

When it comes to designing your backsplash, just about anything goes. 

Maximize Your Kitchen Storage Space

Whether you have a small kitchen or would just like for it to look less cluttered, rethinking your storage space will pay dividends down the line. Instead of replacing the cabinetry and existing kitchen furnishings, take a look around and see how you can improve the storage spaces you already have.

Cabinet and drawer inserts are affordable and are easy to install. Find the right inserts and store your kitchen tools in an organized fashion so they are easy to get to when you need them.

Transform your pantry into a space you are proud of by installing shelving that best suits your needs and display your food items in containers that are attractive and stylish.

You can even install shelves in your kitchen to display tea kettles, enameled Dutch ovens, and other eye-catching serve ware. 

Replace Your Countertops

Updating your countertops is a quick way to modernize the look of your kitchen and you do not need to spend a lot of money to accomplish the task.

The good news is that you don't even need to remove the old countertops to do the updates! Depending on the type of countertops you already have, you can strip and repaint them, tile them, or even wrap them in veneer or metal.

For an edgy and industrial look, consider colored concrete countertops.

Dazzling Finishing Touches on a Dime

Nothing transforms the look and feel of a room quite like a fresh coat of paint. If you are looking to remodel your kitchen on a budget, giving it a fresh coat of paint is one of the most inexpensive ways to complete the job.

For a bright and airy room, select a light color or shade of white. For a cozy and ambient kitchen, choose a warm and dark color. 

Dress up the windows and doorways by installing new trim and curtains that match the overall aesthetic you are trying to achieve. 

While you are at it, consider changing out old hinges and doorknobs, curtain rods, the water faucet, light switch plates, overhead lights, and other low-cost adornments located in your kitchen.
