It’s not always the perfect time to take on a huge renovation that drains cash stores and wares on your nerves. Sometimes it’s just better to make small updates in your kitchen that will allow you to feel like you have a new space, without the task of actually managing a huge remodel. When it comes down to it, smaller updates can truly save you money and still give you a return on the investment you do make.
Cabinets
Instead of creating an entirely new kitchen full of cabinets, the addition of cabinetry or shelving in another area of the kitchen can create a new visual point that also gives you more storage space. Don’t feel like you’re confined to just the cabinetry you have. Adding on without changing the cabinetry in place can truly change the space.
Floors
Something often overlooked, because it’s on the ground, is flooring. Installing new floors can create a different feel in the space. If you want a quick update without huge changes, get rid of your drab flooring and upgrade. It’s amazing what new floors can do for your space.
Countertops
If you’re looking for a bigger change than flooring, consider installing new countertops. While this is a larger scale change, it can really make the space feel different. Even with run of the mill cabinetry, a wonderful solid surface, quartz or granite countertop can give your space a touch of luxury.
Walls
You don’t have to rip things off the walls to make a change in your space; you can make changes to the exposed walls and create a whole new style. Adding textures or tiling to the walls is an extremely easy way to up the wow factor in your space. Some say your walls are like a canvas for you to express yourself, so go ahead and do it! It’s a great time to add the backsplash you’ve always wanted.
No matter what you choose to do to update the space, it’s about bringing different elements together that won’t break the bank. Take the time to see where you can make changes instead of writing your entire remodel off. Small changes will surprise you in how different they make the room look.
