Need to remodel your kitchen on a budget? These 10 tips will help you save money creatively with a budget kitchen remodel that you’ll love!
Many homes, especially apartments in big cities, have relatively small kitchens, so a common question is: What is the average cost of a small kitchen remodel? Needless to say, in general, the renovation of a small kitchen is much cheaper than a large kitchen, and obviously the smaller the kitchen, the lower the renovation cost. However, depending on the type of kitchen chosen, the cost will only be lower. More expensive materials such as granite countertops and hardwood floors will lead to increased costs. The average price of a kitchenette is £3,000, depending on the size of the room.
Swap Out Boring Hardware
Replacing old knobs and handles is one of the fastest and cheapest ways to fix kitchen cabinet problems. Look for new, stylish options at local big box stores, second hand stores, or your favorite online retailers. Pro tip: Match the width of your new drawer to the width of your old one before buying it, so you don't have to drill new holes. You may get paint off the cabinets when removing old hardware, so be prepared to touch up these areas with sand and fresh paint.
Install Sliding Shelves
Custom kitchens have plenty of built-in features to add functionality, but there's no reason you can't enjoy the same benefits on a budget. Retractable shelves for the bottom cabinets are a must, and these sturdy ash drawers from The Container Store are easy to install with just a screwdriver or drill.
Hanging Storage Bars Inside Doors
Want to maximize storage space in your kitchen without building more cabinets? Look at your pantry or cabinet door as a blank canvas for all your hanging storage needs. Put this wasted space to good use by installing a small window treatment rod (like this Fintorp IKEA rail and sylig curtain clip) to hang spices, pot bases, and other items in plain sight.
Try Open Shelving
Open shelving is the piece de resistance of a modern kitchen. We love it tucked in among upper cabinets as shown above, filled with flowy plants in front of a window or spanning an entire wall. Regardless of where you choose, installing open shelving in your kitchen will add necessary storage space and undeniable charm.
Handy Spice Storage
Adding smart sliding storage to your kitchen has never been easier. With a plethora of cabinet remodeling products on the market today, you're sure to find one that suits your needs and takes your kitchen to the next level. This hidden spice locker takes advantage of the strange cabinet gap between the stove and the cabinets and fills the space perfectly.
