Well, the good news is that you don’t need to spend a fortune on remodeling your kitchen because with a little skill and ingenuity, you can achieve great results on a very tight budget. Here are my top 5 tips to get your kitchen back in shape.

1. Give a touch of paint to the place. It’s amazing what a bright new color scheme will do to brighten up any room, and the kitchen is no exception. Stay away from dark colors and go for bright whites or shades of cool lemon or light blue. Most kitchen cabinets and countertops will match these colors and they really serve to brighten up drab spaces and make them look fresh and clean again.

2. Install new doors in kitchen cabinets. It’s surprising that more people don’t do this because, if done correctly, new doors give the impression of having installed a completely new kitchen; but they can be installed at a fraction of the cost. Most casings, which is the actual cabinet part of the units, are a standard size and therefore can accommodate a wide range of kitchen doors in almost any material. You fancy a pine kitchen, no problem, or if you want a futuristic modern kitchen, it’s just a matter of unscrewing the old doors and putting in the new ones. It takes a few hours to do and can be done without any specialized skills or tools.

3. Install new flooring. The kitchen floor takes more punishment than just about any other floor in the house, and even if it’s kept clean, it can soon start to look worn. So why not install a new hardwood floor? It’s available in a wide variety of styles and textures, and can even look like more expensive tile. Just make sure you get flooring that comes with a 10-year warranty and is waterproof.

4. Upgrade your fridge and other appliances. It may not be the cheapest option, but a new fridge, washing machine, microwave or even a toaster will brighten up even the dullest kitchen and make it much more functional too. Of course, if you’re thinking of selling your home, you may need to be prepared to include your new electronics in the deal.

5. Install low voltage lighting. Lighting can really set the mood of any room, and the kitchen is no exception here. Install LED lighting that is more energy efficient (think cheaper bills) and can also create fantastic effects. Even the dullest kitchen can look like a new room with the right lighting installed, and again, this doesn’t have to be a big or expensive job.

So, there you have it, some tips to improve your kitchen without breaking the bank. Your kitchen is the social center of the home, it is one of the most used and important rooms in the house and it can be the difference between securing a sale and not getting the buyer, so make sure it is up to the task.
