5 Simple Kitchen Remodel Tips

How do you feel about your kitchen? Be honest. It could use a little work, couldn’t it? The kitchen is the most important room in your house, so it only makes sense that you’d want it to be as useful and attractive as possible. Here are a few simple ways to get that kitchen remodel you’ve always wanted.

1.  A Kitchen Remodel Starts with the Cabinets

Many homeowners think the only way to upgrade their kitchen is by installing new cabinets.  Actually, there are plenty of ways to give the impression of having new cabinets without having to pay for it. Most cabinets are actually in very good condition, so they don’t have to be replaced.  You can achieve the same effect by repainting your cabinets and installing new knobs and drawer pulls.

2. Try a Bright New Appliance

A great way to update your kitchen without redoing the whole thing is by adding a colorful new appliance. A brand new blue or green refrigerator, for instance, can make an otherwise stale room look brand new.

3. Add a Kitchen Island

When considering a kitchen remodel, adding an island might seem like a big deal. It doesn’t have to be, however. A new island can be created as part of a DIY project without spending too much money. An old cabinet or dresser, for instance, can easily be repurposed into an appealing new kitchen island.

4. Update the Backsplash

It’s true that a brand new backsplash can be expensive. They’re far cheaper, however, than bigger upgrades like installing new countertops. If you’d like to avoid replacing the backsplash, you can achieve the same effect by polishing and/or painting your existing backsplash.

5. Improve the Lighting

There are a ton of options available if you want to upgrade your current kitchen lighting. You can replace your fixtures, but you can also add new lights to fill out the space. Installing lights under the cabinets, for instance, is a very cost-effective way to create better visibility without much expense.
