The kitchen is the heart of the home.
It’s where we gather, cook, and nourish ourselves with food.
If you’re looking for a way to make your kitchen feel fresh again without spending a fortune, here are three affordable ideas that will create big impact:
Brighten up your kitchen with lighting.
An affordable way to update your kitchen is by adding under cabinet lighting. There are many different options, but the LED rope light is easy and highly affordable. Be sure to keep counters free from dust or dirt as they are well lit when you cook!
Add new cabinet hardware.
A quick and easy way to update your kitchen is by adding new cabinet hardware.
Many cabinet sets are pre-fabricated, which means that you could hire a handyman to assist with the installation, or even talk to them first for other recommendations that would be best suited to your kitchen space and design something that works best for your needs.
Change the cabinet colour
Sometimes a colour change is all that is required to give your kitchen a whole new feel.
Consider options that give a nice modern feel to your home, and colours that are more likely to hide those fingerprints!
Install a new island benchtop
If you are looking to open up your kitchen, a new island benchtop will do just that!
A good way to find the right style of island for your kitchen can be by visiting display villages, or even your friends homes and getting inspiration.
Upgrade your kitchen flooring with vinyl tiles
Flooring used to once be an expensive project, but now with vinyl tiles, it’s affordable to update.
You can choose from a range of styles and colours that will look amazing in your kitchen without breaking the bank!
To finish off the transformation, add some new splashbacks or replace those dated appliances for something up-to-date that works best within your budget.
Splash out on a splashback
The splashback is the perfect way to enhance your kitchen.
It’s a great focal point, and if you’re lucky enough to have an outdoor space that overlooks it, then there is no better place for a beautiful piece of art!
With so many options available in materials (glass, tile) colours and styles that will give your kitchen a fresh and unique appeal.
Update the kitchen tap
A new tap is the quickest and easiest way to update your kitchen, and it is a very practical solution, particularly as it would be one of the most used objects in your home.
These days kitchen taps can range from simple modern designs, through to multi functional works of art that serve as a visually pleasing centrepiece for your kitchen as well as being ultra practical.
With these tips in mind, its time to go and plan your new kitchen, and if you’re someone that spends a lot of time there, then you’ll find you’ll actually enjoy spending the time creating a culinary masterpiece, or even just a humble snack.
