Inexpensive Kitchen Remodel Ideas

Remodeling your kitchen to transform it to an elegant and modern kitchen does not have to cost you an arm and a leg. Most people feel that unless they spend thousands upon thousands, they are not going to end up with a beautiful modern kitchen. This document is meant to give you few kitchen remodel ideas to transform your kitchen to that modern looking kitchen you always dreamed of without making you go bankrupt.

The most important thing that people notice when they enter the kitchen is the kitchen counter top. Contrary to the popular belief, you can buy a very nice laminate counter top for about $100-$170 at your local stores or bigger shops such as Home Depot or Lowe’s. Some stores free of charge will cut the counter-top so that your sink can fit through; some others may charge you very little for this task. However, cutting the counter top is not a difficult task as the sink edge will hide small imperfections that may result from the cutting process. However, if you feel that you are not able to accomplish this task on your own, just look for a contractor that could do it for you along with your kitchen cabinet replacement.

Another inexpensive kitchen remodel idea is replace your cabinets with LIKE sizes. Notice the stress on like sizes so you don’t have to move your stove, refrig, and plumbing lines to save those added expenses!  Most cabinet doors are of standard size; however, if your cabinets are not standard size, solid wood fillers can make any kitchen custom Another inexpensive kitchen remodel idea is replacing old cabinet door knobs with trendy new knobs. The cabinet door handles or knobs are fairly inexpensive you can buy a bag of 10 door handles for around $10-$15. Even though this seems like a very small investment, it greatly contributes to the overall image and appeal of your kitchen. Again, we can see that kitchen remodeling does not have to be an expensive project.

Lighting in your kitchen is another important feature that impacts the look and image of your kitchen. Pot lights are in fashion and apart from the fact that they make your kitchen look modern, they are also very inexpensive. I don’t recommend you doing any electrical work if you are not a certified electrician or have never done any electrical work in the past. You need to hire a qualified electrician to run the wiring for you but you can tell the electrician where you would like the pot lights to be installed. You can rent the equipment that puts the hole in your ceiling for pot lights from home depot for about $50 a day.

Once all your work is done, make sure you give your new kitchen a new paint job as they say a paint job can do wonders. finally, sit back and enjoy your new beautiful kitchen.
