A kitchen isn’t just a room in your house where you cook — it also serves as the family conference room, a place to share problems and offers a way for a family to spend time together.
A kitchen has to be functional, yet aesthetically pleasing. It needs to be comfortable to cook in as well as just to spend some time which is why you should pay extra attention to your kitchen remodel. Not only will this be the most expensive remodeling project in your house, it will also need to carry your personality and a theme that you can feel comfortable with. I’m going to share with you 5 ways to remodel your home without emptying your wallet.
There are many theories on how to remodel a kitchen. One of the things that experts say is that when you remodel your kitchen, make sure you do it in a triangle. This means that your stove, fridge and sink should be set up in a triangle to maximize space. Most experts agree that this is the best way to ensure that your kitchen is a comfortable area.
1. Granite counter tops are your friend
Counter tops come in all shapes and sizes — replacing your old ones can make a huge difference in your kitchens look and feel. My recommendation is to go with dark granite counter tops. Not only will these look good in almost any kitchen but they also are easy to clean and will not stain as easily as other vinyl counter tops.
2. Paint your cabinets a new look
Everyone has their own taste. Some people like painted cabinets while others don’t. Either way most cabinets have a varnish or lacquer finish. If you’re looking for a more daring look, then you can try painting your cabinets to really give it some personality. Be careful with how you handle this project though because you may have to strip down the cabinets before you start painting them. If you’re looking for a really quality job, try hiring someone who knows what their doing and this project would go much more smoother.
3. Stainless steel equipment goes with any kitchen
You can’t go wrong with replacing all your kitchen equipment with stainless steel. This not only gives a unique finish to your kitchen, it also gives your kitchen a uniform feel. There are many companies that offer stainless steel products, however try to stick with the quality brands such as Wolf appliances or Asko dishwashers.
4. Replace your tiles
This is something that can be very affordable yet most people forget to do. By changing your wall tiles you can give your kitchen a brand new look. You can try design tiles or remove tiles all together and try painting over. Either way make sure you have a uniform look to your wall decorations and that the paint matches the counter tops.
5. Flooring needs to match the rest of the kitchen
You can spend all the money in your bank account to renovate your kitchen and if your flooring doesn’t match, it will all be worthless. For kitchen flooring, tiles are what work the best. You can always go for low key neutral colors to ensure that it doesn’t stick out, yet is easy to clean.
Follow these simple steps and you’ll be well along your way to having that luxurious and unique feel to your kitchen that you’ve always dreamed about. And all this without breaking the bank. So enjoy and make sure you create a kitchen that reflects your own personality.
