You Can Transform the Look of Your Kitchen With These Budget-Friendly Ideas

A large chunk of our precious time is spent in the kitchen almost every day. Despite that, not many people remember this section of the house when it comes to home improvements. But why shouldn’t you? 

Source: Quora

Even money shouldn’t stop you from giving your kitchen that extra beauty and facelift. That’s because we’ve got the right and cost-friendly ideas for you right here. 

Add Some Vintage Accessories 

There are loads of items that could add an elegant touch to your kitchen. You probably know a bunch. But what you are likely worried about is finding the space for them.

Refreshingly, with vintage items such as brass and copper pots, pieces of artwork, a table lamp for more warmth, and other hangeables, space isn’t a challenge. What’s more, you don’t have to do lots of searching as you can find most of them in the local flea markets 

Tile Your Kitchen Island 

A lot can change about your kitchen if you add some extra touch to your kitchen island. You just need to find the right pieces of tiles – the catchy ones and fix them on it.

Luckily, you don’t need to spend a fortune to get it done. There are probably some leftover tiles from a previous work lying around somewhere. But if not, you can go for second-hand ones. 

Get Some Nice Racks

Sometimes, your kitchen needs to breathe easily. But not with all those items crowding your kitchen counter. A nice rack will serve as a good resting place for those mugs, cookbooks, chopping boards, and other kitchen stuff.

“To give it a twist, attach small hooks to the underside of the rack to hang keys or tea towels. You could also add a blackboard paint background for scribbling last-minute shopping lists and memos,” says interior designer, Nicky Philips. 

Paint a Checkered Splashback 

Another amazing idea is to do a kitchen splashback without having to splash the cash on some fancy tiles. Instead, you can improvise with paints to make a checkered design.

First of all, paint the area all white. You might need to go a number of rounds to achieve sufficient whiteness. Subsequently, use a pencil and tape to map out the grid lines to know where the black paint should come in. 

Add a Kitchen Rug

If you’ve never entertained the idea of a kitchen rug, we strongly advise that you give it some thought. A rug will play just about the same role in your kitchen that it does in the living room.

It will give your kitchen that touch of luxury and grandeur. Look out for comfortable and easy-to-clean rugs and position them well away from your stove and refrigerator. In front of your sink (one of the busiest kitchen floor areas) would be the perfect spot. 

Switch From Cabinets to Open Shelves 

Open shelving can add a whole lot of beauty to your kitchen. Those colorful cookbooks and crockery collections are an added attraction if only they could be visible.

Interestingly, you can convert your cabinets to open shelves without spending a dime. Just remove the doors and you are all set. Afterward, there would be no more worries about dust and dirt hiding behind closed doors. 

Spray Paint Hardware on Your Kitchen Cabinets

Your kitchen can enjoy a significant upgrade with a new-look cabinet.  However, all that you may need to change are those cabinet handles. They are probably all rusty or worn out.

Obviously, buying new hardware is way cheaper than completely replacing your cabinet. But your pocket can have it even easier. Spray painting those handles should cost you considerably less (up to 50% lower). 

Bring in More Lighting 

Undoubtedly, lighting is a crucial factor in any beautification plan. You might think that your kitchen has all the lights it needs until you make a new move. The truth is, lighting should go beyond functionality to aesthetics. 

Source: Quora

Get creative by using a combination of spotlights over the worktops, overhead lights in the dining area, and halogen bulbs on the extractor. You will love the new look and thank us later.

Introduce a New Appliance 

Without doing any other thing, just adding a new appliance can change the look of your kitchen. It works like magic! Simply create some space and fit the new guy in.

It could be a fridge or an oven. Whatever the appliance, ensure there’s enough room to open its doors. More importantly, go for appliances with bright colors, they add more life and spark to the room. 

Get a New Tap

Of course, sinks are a prominent feature of any kitchen and a sink tap will enhance its looks and the entire room’s. Although sink taps aren’t as high-tech as stoves or ovens, they can add that touch of luxury if you get the right ones.

Your new faucet could be single or double handle, or with pull-down or pull-out sprayers. Just make sure you go for one that stands out. Elements such as decorative detailing, textured handles, and unusual shapes are a big deal. 

Display Wall Art

Your kitchen doesn’t have to look all that formal and serious. With this in mind, consider adding a bit of playfulness and fun to its looks with some wall art. They create a friendlier atmosphere that makes kitchen time something to look forward to.

For the best effect, display your art over a white background and bring in pieces with bold colors. Pop arts are amazing choices too.
