Best Ways To Jazz Up Your Kitchen Without Breaking Bank
Looking for ways to give your kitchen a fresh new look or mini-makeover without shelling out thousands? We can help! Take a look at our collection of ten suggestions to transform your kitchen for less.
It’s amazing how much difference a new accent or some different decorating can make – read our ideas for inspiration, and then start planning how to turn your kitchen into something truly special for surprisingly little.
Change The Ironmongery
Fresh cupboard handles, door handles and other fixtures can totally change your kitchen’s style. Ironmongery is one of the kitchen style choices where you can be adventurous for a relatively low cost. Whether you choose to combine fresh ironmongery with a different colour for cupboard doors, or just stick to new hinges and handles, it’s possible to achieve some stunning results.
Repaint Existing Cupboards
It’s been said plenty of times before, but repainting your cabinet doors is a fast, economical and straightforward way of achieving a complete change of scene in the kitchen.
Install A Glass Splashback
If you want an instant update that’s also functional and will last for decades, consider a glass splashback. A glass splashback can be coloured or patterned to match any interior design palette. Glass reflects light wonderfully well, giving your kitchen a light, airy look that’s enormously appealing. In addition, glass is resistant to deterioration due to humidity or temperature changes, very easy to clean and will keep looking good for decades. As an added bonus, glass splashbacks are a key kitchen trend at the moment.
Revamp The Central Island
The central island is a space that’s made for experimentation! Why not try wallpapering the sides of the central island? Or painting it a contrasting colour to the rest of the kitchen? If you like the idea of making a statement somewhere in your kitchen, the island is a great option to work on.
Consider Open Storage
Shelving, hooks and racks add visual appeal to the kitchen. Particularly if complemented with carefully chosen kitchen accessories, open storage adds an enormous amount of character and gives homeowners an opportunity to showcase their individuality.
Regrout The Tiles
Almost inevitably, tile grout begins to dull and discolour over time. Because the grout is set back from the surface of the tile a little, it often misses out on being cleaned when the tiles are wiped over. Fresh grout really brings up the colour of the tiles, giving your wall a fresh, just-installed look that’s enormously appealing.
Change Up Your Window Dressing
A new blind, some fresh curtains or a repainted window sill can make a real difference to your kitchen. Windows are inevitably a focal point, so an on-trend update to draperies or window surround colour can instantly update your kitchen.
Add Some Fresh Lighting
Lighting isn’t just an important aid in achieving the right ambience, it’s also vital to the function of the kitchen. Adding more lighting, swapping the position of existing fixtures or even replacing old, dated fixtures with fresh ones in a different style can all give your kitchen a completely different look.
Add A Rug
Simple and cheap but amazingly effective, adding a kitchen rug can provide an attractive accent and break up a large area of tiling that might otherwise appear a little bleak and clinical. Rugs can also be easily changed as fashions evolve – if you want a fashionable kitchen feature that won’t break the bank, a rug is a great option.
Add Colour
The days of relentlessly monochrome kitchens are over! A pop of bright colour is an up-to-date feature that provides warmth and adds a welcoming touch to the heart of the home.
