7 Key tips got low-cost kitchen makeover
Declutter and deep clean
It’s remarkably easy for small appliances, cookbooks and general clutter to accumulate on countertops, islands and open shelves in our kitchens.
So, if you’re feeling overwhelmed every time you step into your kitchen, it could be time to declutter and organise.
Plus, it’s also worth remembering that a freshly decluttered kitchen is a prime candidate for a deep clean. The right products paired with a bit of elbow grease can leave your space looking brand new without needing to embark on any major design projects.
Refresh your lighting fixtures
From replacing tired table lamps to installing a new statement light above your kitchen island or breakfast bar, lighting solutions really can make such a huge difference to the overall ambience within a space.
Pro Tip: If you enjoy DIY projects, it’s possible to create a charming light fixture using mason jars and fairy lights. However, always ensure that permanent lighting solutions are installed in your home by a qualified electrician.
Choose new replacement cupboard doors
Rather than ripping out your kitchen and starting completely from scratch, installing replacement cupboard doors can transform the look and feel of your kitchen at a fraction of the price.
As well as being a budget-friendly option, giving your existing kitchen a new lease of life is also an environmentally conscious way to rejuvenate your home.
Create a feature wall
If you’ve got a large wall in your kitchen space that you just don’t know what to do with, it may lend itself to becoming a feature wall.
You could keep things simple and paint it in a bold colour but if you’re feeling more creative, consider painting it with chalkboard paint or having a go at painting your own mural.
Alternatively, you could hang some feature wallpaper or install floating shelves to display your favourite kitchen gadgets, photographs or ornaments.
Switch out your hardware
If your kitchen cabinets have handles, you might be surprised at just how much of a transformative effect swapping out drawer pulls and cupboard handles can have.
Make sure that the style of your cabinet doors complements both the overall look and colour of your replacement hardware to create a cohesive aesthetic.
Incorporate natural materials
Bringing a sense of the outside in can incorporate a degree of freshness into your kitchen.
There are many different ways to achieve this, including placing potted herb plants on your windowsill or choosing rattan baskets to provide extra storage.
Another way to embrace natural materials and give your space a country kitchen feel with a modern twist is to choose replacement cupboard doors with panelling.
The Bella Newport collection helps to create an inviting ambience, and it comes in several natural wood tones, including Halifax Natural Oak and Lissa Oak.
Install a new splashback
The best splashbacks are functional and stylish, protecting your walls from spills, heat and water whilst also enhancing the overall appearance of your kitchen.
Tile remains one of the most popular options for splashbacks, but it’s also possible to experiment with a selection of materials, including wood, acrylic, glass and metal.
Pro Tip: If you’re looking for a smaller DIY project, there are also a range of different ways to refresh an existing tile splashback. You could regrout your tiles with a different colour, experiment with tile stickers, or paint them.
