Remodeling Your Kitchen on a Budget
by Kevin Smith AuthorYour kitchen just
might be your favorite room in the house. It's your studio, where you go when
you want to create something beautiful and scrumptious that your entire family
can enjoy. However, it's also the room that's exposed to the most abuse
overtime. Stains, spills, and grease splatter can cause permanent damage. It
may seem that no matter how much of an effort you make to keep it clean, it's
impossible to return it to its original condition.
If that's the
case, it's probably time for a change. Even if you don't have a ton of cash to
spare, there are marked ways you can save money on your big remodel. A little
planning and forethought can go a long way when it comes to saving you time and
money.
If you're ready
to take your kitchen game to a new level, research kitchen remodeling in
Kennesaw Georgia. In the meantime, here are ways you can remodel your kitchen
and save money at the same time.
Hire a Designer
Here's a big
no-no: not employing the help of a designer so you can save money. This simply
won't work. Designers have the experience to keep you from making costly
mistakes, as well as the connections necessary to get you stellar deals on new
appliances and countertops.
Essentially, this
is a way you can save a lot of money by spending a little bit of money. While
it may cost you money out of the gate, you're highly unlikely to save in the
long run.
Add Some Light
While this won't
solve all of your foundational problems, adding some light to your kitchen and
brighten it up and give it a brand new vibe. Not to mention, it'll make cooking
easier as you'll be able to actually see what you're doing.
In the case of
lighting, the devil's in the details. Don't forget to add under-cabinet
lighting, light pendants, and perhaps change the means or hue of your overhead
lighting.
Don't Move Plumbing
If you move your
sinks or dishwashers, this could end up being the most expensive part of your
renovation. Changing the way your plumbing is designed is unnecessary and will
cost you a boatload of money. Experts say that moving your sink, dishwasher, or
gas stove can cost you upwards of $5,000.
You're better off
just leaving those appliances where they are and either replacing them or
working around them if you want the best bang for your buck.
