7 Budget-Friendly Kitchen Makeover Tips

Anyone with a kitchen that’s older than this century has probably entertained thoughts of a redo, although just mentally adding up the potential cash outlay may be enough to send the project straight to the back burner. But never fear: Careful shopping and creative money-saving strategies can help move a kitchen update from the to-do list to reality.

As you might expect, careful shopping for the big-ticket items will yield the most significant savings. Paring ten percent or more off the cost of cabinets and appliances will leave a lot more cash in your wallet than purchasing, say, a discounted light fixture or faucet—though small savings can add up, too.

To get your shopping off to a good start, step away from the professional appliances. They can be real budget-busters. The good news is that quite a few of the major home appliance manufacturers have mimicked the pro look, delivering robust styling in sleek stainless steel at steep savings. Since these appliances are designed for the home market, they may even have amenities that some pro versions lack, such as easy-care sealed-unit gas burners and self-cleaning ovens.

Top 5 Tips for Inspirational Kitchen Renovation

Depending on your lifestyle, the kitchen will either be the room where you spend most of your time when you’re at home, or the least of your time when you’re at home.

Of course, personal preference will come into play somewhere, too. Not everyone wants to spend hours coming up with recipes and cooking up home delights, and a microwave meal is usually the quickest of all quick fixes. Others love their kitchens, and will happily spend hours at a time experimenting with foods. If you’re a parent with a large family, you might not have much choice!

Regardless of how you feel about your kitchen, you’re going to want it to be clean, tidy, and functional at all times. In terms of fixtures and fittings, it can be one of the most expensive rooms in at home to have fitted with everything you want.

Here are our top 5 ideas for brilliant, inspirational home renovations.
