Get your Dream Kitchen at a Fraction of the Cost

Whether you’re someone who loves cooking and experimenting in the kitchen or are just looking to get that space a nice and fresh update, here’s a little something to get you started. Read on to discover some of the best actionable tips and hacks that will inch you a bit closer to your dream kitchen, all that at a fraction of the cost.

Get a Nice Rug

There’s nothing better than a nice patterned or bright coloured rug to lend a dull and drab space a touch of freshness. Make sure the one you pick has a balanced look, something that goes well along with the theme of your kitchen, and at the same time, isn’t too boring and simple.

Focus on the Worktops

Your kitchen countertop is an important space and making it your point of focus can be another cool idea. You can pick anything from granite worktops and quartz worktops depending on your personal preference and the colour scheme and theme of your kitchen. You should have tons of options to choose from too!

Update Your Cabinets

Giving your kitchen cabinets a new coat of paint is another inexpensive way to brighten up space without having to spend a lot of time, effort and money. Pick a bright solid colour or aim for a monotone look- just don’t hesitate from picking something new and fresh, ideally something you haven’t tried before.

Get Some Wooden Elements

If you’re someone who likes to stick to the basics and keep it clean, especially when it comes to your kitchen, this trick can help. You can still give your kitchen a whole new feel while keeping the cabinets and shelves white- just get in some wooden elements like countertop racks and trays, spoons etc.

If you have an empty wall, you could also adorn it with some neutral wall art with, of course, a wooden frame.

Brighten With Lights

If your kitchen is lacking that brightness and element of freshness, switching the lighting can be a good move to make. Carefully pick some good overhead lighting or hang a single pendant over your focus workspace to take things up a notch. And of course, bringing in some indoor plants or having a little herb garden on your windowsill can give it an added touch of freshness.

Be Container Wise

If your kitchen shelves are glass-doored or open, it makes perfect sense to update your containers too. Opt for subtle or neutral colours, or even better, go clear. Not only will this be a good way to help you organise your kitchen, but will also make space look cleaner and ordered instantly.

    Great tips especially about updating containers as this is often overlooked and changing the worktop to Quartz.

    Lighting can make a huge difference! Thanks for reminding me – our kitchen could use a little revamping.
