A Few Tips for a Cost-Effective Kitchen Remodel

As a homeowner, you can appreciate the fact that the kitchen is a special place. It’s where the food is prepared, where the food is often eaten, and where guests gather at parties. That’s why it’s so important that you have the kitchen you deserve. While that might require a kitchen remodel, it doesn’t mean you have to pay an arm and a leg. Here are a few tips for a cost-effective kitchen upgrade.

New Cabinetry Hardware

You can accomplish a lot with new hardware. If you haven’t switched out your cabinet hardware in a while, you might be surprised at how tired and old fashioned it is. Installing new handles and pulls with stylish designs is a quick and easy way to give your kitchen a vibrant new look.

Install a New Sink

The way some homeowners hold onto their old kitchen sinks might lead you to believe they’re not aware that they can be easily replaced. If you have the sink that was there when you moved in (or it’s been 10 or 20 years), it’s definitely time for a new one. There are a ton of kitchen sink options for your next kitchen remodel. You can go with enamel-coated iron, stainless steel, single or double bowl options, top mount, under mount — the choice is yours!

Improve the Lighting

Lighting options have changed considerably over the years, so if you’re not taking advantage of what’s available, you’re missing out. Install new overhead lighting fixtures connected to a dimmer for a moodier approach, and some under cabinet lighting to make it easier to see what you’re cooking. Switch to LEDs and connect them to a smart device to add some drama while cutting back on your monthly energy bill.

A New Paint Job

Fun fact: not every kitchen has to have white or off-white walls. As hard as it is to believe, you can paint your kitchen any way you like. A new paint job of whatever color you prefer can breathe new life into an old kitchen.
