Whilst we might all dream of a shiny new kitchen, the reality is that a full kitchen refit can be costly. It can also be an overwhelming process that can take a lot of time and planning, and at this time of year, you’ve probably got a lot on your plate already!
If your kitchen is starting to look a little shabby then you may be wondering if there is anything that you can do to improve it without paying out for a full refit. The quick answer is yes; there are actually quite a few budget-friendly kitchen redecoration ideas that you can put into practice that will really improve the look of your kitchen whilst still being friendly to your wallet.
1. Overlay worktops
If your worktops are looking shabby then overlay worktops like those available from Granite Transformations Bolton are a great way of improving them at a fraction of the cost of replacement worktops.
2. Change the color
If you want to give your kitchen a completely new look then a fresh coat of paint is the perfect way of doing this and if you do it yourself should be quite budget-friendly. Opt for a completely different shade of paint rather than simply repainting it the same color and your kitchen will take on a completely new look.
3. Replace your lights
New lighting doesn’t have to be expensive, and if you shop carefully there are always bargains available. If your kitchen is a little dark, then look for something that will offer more light as this will really help to improve the look of your kitchen.
4. Replace unit and drawer fronts
New kitchen drawers and units can cost a lot of money but if the structure of your existing units and drawers is still sturdy then you could just replace the fronts with something completely different. It can make your kitchen look completely different and is budget-friendly and quick to do.
5. Replace handles
If you don’t feel the need to replace the fronts of your units and drawers, then you might want to consider replacing the handles instead. Don’t underestimate the difference that this simple change could make to your kitchen.
6. Add some small shelves
Small shelves are a great way of not only adding additional storage to your kitchen but also adding an extra dimension to your walls. Whether you opt for somewhere to store your cookery books, dried goods in nice jars or simply to add a few decorative items to complement a new color in your kitchen, the impact can be significant
7. Add some plants
Plants have an incredible way of softening harsh lines and adding an instant calming feeling to any room. A couple of well placed plants will really change the look of your kitchen and will add a pop of color.
8. Add a new splashback
A splashback is a very handy feature in any kitchen. If your current splashback is looking dull or has been damaged, then consider adding a new one. This can be an opportunity to add a bit of color or keep it simple and opt for colors that match your existing kitchen.
9. Add more storage
If your kitchen is a little cluttered, then take a look and see if it is possible to add more storage that will help you put the clutter out of sight.
10. Change your taps
Changing your taps is another simple and inexpensive way in which you can improve the look of your kitchen. If you have leaky taps or simply don’t find the ones, you have to be very practical then this is a great way to make a change.
