Your home is your castle, and the kitchen plays a huge role in making this the case. In many ways, the kitchen is the very heart of the home. With that in mind, renovating may well have crossed your mind at some point.
Of course, with that thought comes an array of financial worries, especially during a worldwide cost of living crisis. You may think you need to put thoughts of renovation on the back burner for now, but think again – kitchen renovation in Hawkes Bay needn’t cost the earth. But what are the key aspects when it comes to how to do an inexpensive kitchen remodel.
Work out your budget
First of all, you need to establish precisely what your budget is, as well as what you wish to prioritise. Start with the largest areas of concern, then work your way gradually down to the more minor details.As mentioned, however, it won’t necessarily cost an arm and a leg – kitchen renovation on a budget is possible.
The recommended budget is at least $43,750, which may sound expensive, but there are ways of cutting that cost. Cabinetry takes up a surprising percentage of those costs, and a simple refinishing may be just as effective in renovating your kitchen without a significant cost. In fact, a fresh coat of paint can do the job throughout the kitchen, and this is something you can easily do yourself with the minimum of cost and fuss.
Even the small solutions can make a huge difference on the kitchen space, from draw dividers to pull-out shelves. These things don’t cost a lot at all, but can make the place feel tidy and organised, perhaps even brand new.
Other cheap and durable options include vinyl flooring and energy efficient lighting – both of which will last and save you a bundle in the long run.
