12 ways to renovate your kitchen without spending a lot of money
When we heard the words renovate the kitchen, we were right behind. First, because we know that the kitchen is an expensive environment – from furniture to appliances, where do you spend the most? Then, we are also aware that when work starts in the kitchen, we have to go out to eat or order food for I don’t know how long. At best, you can heat up a pizza or make a sandwich! Furthermore, when there is work there are always delays and unforeseen events. Or almost always!
However, today we are going to show you 12 ways to give your kitchen a new look without spending that much money or turning your life upside down.
1. Glazed surface:
Do you have the kitchen open to the living room, but don’t you like the fact that smoke and odors spread to the adjacent rooms? No problem. You can close off the kitchen with a glazed surface. In this way, you don’t lose the sensation of visual amplitude, nor the luminosity of the space.
2. Replace the floor
In this project, the kitchen area is visually delimited by ceramics. This creates certain independence in integrated spaces without having to erect a wall. At the same time, ceramic is a better coating for the kitchen.
3. Glass doors
There are objects in the kitchen that, in addition to being functional, are also decorative. This is the case of dishes, glasses, cookery books, and even some foods (jam jars, for example). So, a good way to transform the kitchen is by placing glass doors in the cabinets, leaving dishes and other objects more attractive to view.
4. A new paint for the cabinets
Changing the color of kitchen furniture has a tremendous impact on the environment and the best part is that it’s not even a time-consuming job. Sandpaper the surface of cabinets, clean them well and repair existing damage. Then all you have to do is roll up your sleeves and start painting.
4. Wallpaper
A very easy way to give personality to your kitchen – or any other space – is to use wallpaper. There are waterproof and washable wallpapers that are ideal for spaces of this nature.
5. Bookshelves and shelves
A good carpenter can help you make better use of spaces by installing shelves and shelves on the free walls.
6. An everyday dining area
Is your kitchen ready and you have a space in the center, but you don’t have the money for an island? So take advantage of the space for a table – square or round – and use it for quick, informal everyday meals. The table can also serve as a food preparation surface.
7. Cabinets with alternative shapes
These round cabinets make the wall more appealing and original. You can draw them yourself and show them to your carpenter.
8. Peninsula
To create a peninsula, you can cover one of the benches with a wooden surface that extends to provide additional space for dining or working. In this case, this peninsula appears flanked by black industrial-style benches.
9. Hydraulic tile
On the walls or floor, try flooring with hydraulic tile to add color and joy to the kitchen. Even the most boring space will be transformed with this material!
10. Roman curtains
Elevate your kitchen from a decorative point of view and install striped Roman curtains. Already feel transported to Paris?
11. Change the handles
It’s amazing how a transformation as simple as this can make us fall in love with our kitchen front again. Take out the old knobs and replace them with more modern ones.
12. Invest in lighting
Nothing like a good lighting project to enhance a space. Between pendant lamps or built-in LEDs, your kitchen will benefit from a new lease of life.
