5 Kitchen Updates on a Budget

  1. stainless_galley.jpgPaint - Paint the walls. Paint the cupboards. Or paint it all!
  2. Shelves v. Cabinets – Need more storage space but don’t have new cabinets in the budget? Consider hanging some inexpensive floating shelves. Use them to showcase pieces or for easy access.
  3. Floor for less – There are many great options today for refacing a floor. We love the new peel and stick tiles that you can pick up at any DIY store.
  4. Tile over laminate countertops. The bigger the tile, the better it looks. Or consider replacing the old laminate with new laminate. Today’s versions are improved and considerably less than solid surface materials.
  5. Replace the hardware. New knobs and pulls are an easy update. Say goodbye to that outdated brass. Coordinate with doorknobs and light fixtures. If you can’t replace outdated fixtures, go for a antiqued version of a similar finish on your new cabinet hardware.
