Even though you might read in the most popular kitchen design magazines that it takes a lot of time and money to change the look of your kitchen, this is not true. There are some easy and cheap ways to change the look of your kitchen.
A few small changes here and there in your kitchen can still make a big difference in how it looks. You can get ideas for your kitchen decorating and remodelling project from books, magazines, and websites about kitchen design.
There are seven relatively cheap ways to decorate a kitchen that will make it look nice:
- Paint your cabinets white and replace the knobs, handles, or pulls with new ones.
- Replacing the doors and fronts of the cabinets. Then you can change the faces of the other fixtures. This will make a big difference in how your kitchen looks and feels.
Using MFD doors with a solid core, which are made of medium density fiberboard or wood. They can be put on a door that has a solid base. You can paint this kind of door to look however you want.
- Using colour to update the kitchen is another cheap way to decorate the kitchen. Your walls and cabinets can be painted. You can use decorative finishes when you paint your cabinets that are already there. For example, you could use a distressed finish to make something look old, or you could use a faux or glazed finish. All of these are easy to do and don't cost much.
- The faucet and sink are two other parts of the kitchen that are easy to change. You can find sinks that are in the middle price range for between $50 and $300. They also come in a wide range of colours and styles. Sinks are made from materials like porcelain, stainless steel, and acrylic. Faucets come in a wide range of styles and finishes, and their prices can be anywhere from $50 to $750, depending on the type.
Adding a kitchen island is another great low-cost way to decorate a kitchen. A kitchen island is a great way to add more counter space and a place for people to gather. If you don't have the money or space for a permanent kitchen island but still want the benefits of having one, you might want to get a kitchen cart instead. A kitchen cart can have drawers, shelves, and places to hang pots and pans. It can also roll around. They can be moved out of the way because they are on wheels.
- If you only have enough money to remodel a small part of your kitchen because your budget is so small, you might want to add a kitchen backsplash. A new kitchen backsplash can really make a boring kitchen look nicer. There are a lot of different styles, colours, and materials for kitchen backsplashes. Backsplashes can be made of anything from wood to porcelain to natural stone to glass to stainless steel to even wallpaper. The prices change based on the material you choose.
So you can see that redecorating your kitchen doesn't have to be hard. You can just paint the walls or change the hardware on your cabinets. Just one small change can make a big difference in how new your kitchen looks.
