Despite what you may read in the trendiest kitchen design
magazines, updating the look of your kitchen really does not
require that your spend a lot of time and money. There are some
simple and inexpensive ways to give your kitchen a brand new
look.
Some small change here and there that you can make in your
kitchen can still create a big effect on how your kitchen looks.
You can get ideas about what you would like incorporate into
your kitchen decorating and remodeling project from books,
magazines, and internet sites dealing with kitchen design ideas.
There are 7 relatively low cost kitchen-decorating ideas to
create a beautiful kitchen:
1. Replacing the cabinet doors and fronts. Then you can reface
the remaining fixtures. This will greatly change the whole look
and feel of your kitchen.
2. Painting your cabinets white and changing the hardware, such
as knobs, handles, or pulls.
3. Using solid core MFD doors, which are medium density
fiberboard or timber. They can be fitted to a solid door base.
This type of door can be painted to create any look you may
want.
4. Using color to renovate the kitchen is another example of
inexpensive kitchen decorating. You can paint your walls and
cabinets. When it comes to painting your existing cabinetry, you
can use decorative finishes. Some examples are creating a
distressed finish to add an aged look, and faux and glazed
finishes. These are all simple to do and cost effective.
5. Another area of the kitchen you can easily update is the
faucet and sink. It is possible to locate moderately priced
sinks that can cost from $50 $300. They are also available in
many colors, and styles. Porcelain, stainless steel, and acrylic
are the materials that are available for sinks. For faucets, you
will find that they are available in many styles and finishes,
and depending on the type of faucet can range in price from $50
to$750.
6. Another great affordable idea in kitchen decorating is to add
a kitchen island. Kitchen islands are great for adding more
counter space to the kitchen and provide a gathering place. If
you do not have enough money or space to add a permanent kitchen
island, but would like to have the advantages of one, you might
consider as an alternative getting a kitchen cart. A kitchen
cart can have wheels for rolling around, as well as have
drawers, shelves, and places to hang utensils. Because they are
on wheels they can be cleared out the way.
7. If your kitchen-decorating budget is so small that you can
only afford to remodel a small area of your kitchen you might
consider adding a kitchen backsplash. A new kitchen backsplash
can really dress up a drab, uninspiring kitchen. Kitchen
backsplashes are available in so many different styles, colors,
and materials. The materials used for backsplashes can include,
wood, porcelain, natural stone, glass, stainless steel, and even
wallpaper. The costs vary depending on the material you select.
So you can see that redecorating your kitchen can be a simple
thing like changing the hardware on your existing cabinetry or
painting the walls. Just one small change can do a lot to make
your kitchen look brand new.
