Your kitchen is the heart of your home, where delicious meals are prepared and memories are made. But if your kitchen is feeling a bit lackluster, fear not! You don’t need to break the bank to give it a fresh new look. In this blog post, I am sharing inexpensive kitchen upgrades that will breathe new life into your space without draining your wallet.
Inexpensive Kitchen Upgrades
How To Prep Cabinets For Paint
Paint Power:
One of the most cost-effective ways to revamp your kitchen is with a fresh coat of paint. Choose a light, neutral color to brighten up the space and make it feel larger. You can also paint your cabinets for a modern and updated look. I am sharing the details on how to prep your cabinets for paint in my post HERE.
How To Pick The Right Hardware Every Time
Hardware Haven:
Swapping out old cabinet hardware is a simple yet impactful upgrade that can instantly elevate the look of your kitchen. Opt for sleek and modern handles and knobs for a contemporary feel, or go for vintage-inspired hardware for a touch of charm. I share how to pick the right hardware every time in my post HERE.
Lighting Lift:
Good lighting can make all the difference in a kitchen. Replace outdated fixtures with stylish pendant lights or under-cabinet LED strips to brighten up your workspace and add a touch of ambiance. You’ll be amazed at how much warmer and inviting your kitchen will feel with the right lighting. We added these lights above our peninsula. They were $1 at a yard sale.
DIY Tile Backsplash For Rookies
Creative Backsplash:
Adding a backsplash is a great way to inject personality into your kitchen without breaking the bank. Get creative with affordable materials like peel-and-stick tiles, beadboard, or even chalkboard paint. Not only will it protect your walls from splatters, but it’ll also give your kitchen a fresh and modern look.
DIY Details:
Put your crafting skills to good use by adding DIY details to your kitchen. Create a custom chalkboard menu, hang up some handmade artwork, or build your own kitchen island using repurposed materials. Not only will these personal touches add character to your space, but they’ll also save you a ton of money. We did our entire kitchen makeover with DIY details.
