How To Get A Luxury Kitchen On A Budget
OK, so we all have dreams about what we want our kitchens to look like. Perhaps you have that perfect farmhouse decor in mind, or you want those beautiful marble surfaces. But as you start to look through your decor options, you soon realize that you’re going to need another mortgage to get what you really want. Pretty disappointing, huh? However, you can still have that wonderful dream kitchen, you just need to get inventive!
Here’s how you can get your luxury kitchen, on a budget!
Use color wisely
What a lot of people forget is that using color wisely can help to really change the feel of a space, and it doesn’t put too much of a dent in your budget. Instead of going for clinical white walls, opt for a duck egg blue, or classy grey.
Sure, you may not think that this will make a lot of difference, but as soon as you find out that color that just works, you’ll be glad that you said goodbye to bland paint forever!
Thrift shop
If you’re attempting to create a unique look, for example a farmhouse or vintage kitchen, then it’s a good idea to head to some thrift stores, particularly those that specialize in furniture. If you’d prefer, you can also look around on places like eBay.
You’re bound to find a bargain if you look hard enough, and you could create a one-of-a-kind kitchen with these vintage pieces. Sounds like a win-win situation, huh?
Opt for a vinyl floor
Tiling your kitchen floor, or going for other expensive options, can put you out a lot of money. In fact, this can be one of the biggest costs of your renovation, so you need to be savvy when it comes to picking out that perfect flooring for your kitchen.
Check out these hot vinyl flooring ideas, and see whether you can find something that creates the look that you’re going for, whilst also helping you to keep your spending under control.
Swap the cupboard doors
Our kitchen cupboards are usually the center of attention, alongside the work surfaces. If they look old and they’re hanging off the hinges, then it can bring the entire look of your kitchen plummeting down, and this doesn’t exactly scream out ‘luxury’ now, does it?
However, instead of taking the entire units down, why not just replace the doors? This will help you to create a better look, whilst also ensuring that you’re not splashing out the cash too much!
So…
If you’re thinking about renovating your kitchen, and adding a touch of luxury to it, then why not try out some of these things? Sure, they may require a little more effort and commitment, and you may need to take matters into your own hands with a bit of DIY, but you’ll soon find that you’ve saved yourself some extra money, whilst also getting the kitchen of your dreams!
Happy renovating, and enjoy personalizing your kitchen on a budget!
