Modernize Your Kitchen on a Budget

Modernize Your Kitchen on a Budget

By Gia Gallone

The kitchen is the heart of the home, where everyone gathers for family dinners, holiday meals and special celebrations. With many new kitchen design trends on the rise, you may have a desire to update your outdated kitchen even if your wallet doesn’t feel the same way. But there’s no need to invest in a huge remodel to modernize your kitchen. Read on to find just three things you can change to make your kitchen look like a totally different room!
1. Countertops
We know – you’re probably thinking, “Countertops are NOT cheap!” But by sticking with your original kitchen layout and leaving the plumbing as is, you’re saving a ton of money. This means you’re allowed to have one splurge, and we suggest the countertops. Marble, granite and quartz are some of today’s most popular materials for countertops, adding beauty and elegance to the room. Quality Home Center is proud to offer a full range of countertop options for your home, and works with expert craftsmen in the local community to provide custom solutions for your existing countertop layout.
2. Cabinets
Painting or staining your kitchen’s existing cabinetry can drastically change your kitchen’s look without the cost. Be bold and paint your cabinets blue; stay classy and simply change the wood color; or give your cabinets a fresh look with today’s popular color of white. The options are endless! Advantage Rental & Sales’ full paint department can provide you with any color paint or stain you wish, plus all of the tools to get the project done right!
3. Furniture
Your kitchen furniture should be just as modern as the place it lives in. Aside from replacing your kitchen table and chairs, you’ll want to add additional seating such as countertop stools, a concept that many of today’s kitchens embrace. Adding more stools and chairs in your kitchen will make it an inviting space by giving all of your visitors plenty of places to sit. Find’s Furniture offers great prices on brand name furniture of all kinds, and has something for every budget and style.
After these three aspects of your kitchen are up-to-date, calculate your costs and see what’s left. If your budget allows it, other things you might want to consider are updating your flooring or purchasing stainless steel appliances.
