5 Easy Ways to Remodel Your Kitchen
Do you want to remodel your kitchen but don’t necessarily want to renovate the whole space? Giving your kitchen a little makeover doesn’t need to be a huge thing. You can simply update a few elements of your kitchen to give it an entirely new feel.
If you feel like your kitchen space is out of date or if you’re really just looking to make a few changes, this is the blog for you! We’ve put together 5 easy ways you can remodel your kitchen. To make your life even easier, we’ve compiled a list of ways to update your kitchen that doesn’t require a huge budget or a lot of time! You can thank us later.
#1 – You Can Keep Your Existing Layout When You Remodel Your Kitchen
We are here to let you in on a little secret… if you’re on a tight budget, then keep your existing kitchen layout when remodelling it. Just because you want to update your kitchen doesn’t mean you have to change the entire layout of your kitchen.
Sticking to your current kitchen layout will reduce your costs significantly! You’d be avoiding all the not so fun expenses of deconstructing the space, moving cupboards and walls around and updating plumbing & electrical systems.
However, of course, if changing the layout of your kitchen is a MUST then go ahead! For kitchen renovations, we’d suggest calling in the experts to help you with the layout. This is something you DON’T want to get wrong.

#2 – Take Advantage of the Power of Paint
We cannot stress this enough: PAINT IS POWERFUL!!
If you’re after an instant transformation, then start looking into paint. From worn-out timber panelling to out-dated tiles and sinks, perfectly applied paint can completely change the look and feel of a space.
Paint is especially useful if you’re on a budget. You can paint your walls, ceiling and even cabinetry to make your kitchen look new.
A little tip: if you’re going to remodel your kitchen for the pure purpose of brightening it up and making it appear bigger then opt for light and bright white colours.
Another little tip: when shopping for paint, you just need to make sure it’s been specifically designed for the kitchen area you are focusing on.
#3 – Replace Your Cabinetry
Cabinetry is one of the key features of a kitchen. So, if you’re really wanting to give your kitchen a makeover, one of the first places you should look is cabinetry.
As mentioned before, you can paint your cabinetry to give it a fresh feel. However, this is an easier and cheaper option!
If you have the time and budget, get in a professional to replace your cabinetry. You will be shocked at how this can completely change your kitchen space.
Or there is the other option to just replace the cabinetry handles. This is another super affordable kitchen renovation idea. Play around with different colours and finishes to see what suits your current cabinetry.
Cabinetry handles might seem like a small part of your kitchen, but it has such a major impact on the overall design.
Tip: choose a cabinetry handle that compliments not only your existing kitchen but also your entire home. You don’t want to install new handles for it to stand out like a swollen thumb.
Get some inspiration from kitchens, find the right cabinetry and get it installed! If you have no idea where to start, give us a call and we can help.
#4 – Give the Lighting a Makeover
This tip is pretty straight forward. If you have a light feature in your kitchen that has out-dated, then replace it with a fresh new one!
Lighting can completely change the look of a kitchen, so simply choosing a new on-trend lighting design will give your kitchen an entire makeover in itself.
#5 – Update Your Sink or Kitchen Tapware
Another feature to consider when planning to remodel your kitchen is either the sink or tapware. There are so many options of sinks and tapware available for every style home!
You might not want to even change the style of your sink or tapware, but instead, replace it with a new one just because it’s a bit old.
As you’re probably aware, sinks come in all shapes and sizes. So, if you are thinking about getting a new kitchen sink installed, just make sure you get a plumber in just in case any alterations need to be made before installation.
