Remodeling Your Kitchen: A Plan for Every Budget
If you are looking to sell your home, a good realtor will tell you that kitchens sell homes. If your home isn’t quite ready to put on the market and is in need of a few renovations in order to get it ready to sell, the kitchen is the best place to start.
Here are 5 genius tips to remodel your kitchen on any budget.
UPDATE THE BACKSPLASH
Replacing the old backsplash in the kitchen is a lovely way to freshen up your kitchen space. If you don’t already have a backsplash, a fresh coat of paint can also go a long way in this space. Consider installing a backsplash if you don’t already have one or you can opt to add a backsplash just in the areas that need it the most such as behind the stove and sink.
CABINETS OR CABINET DOORS
Refinishing cabinet doors can help make a space feel brand new. You can remove your cabinet doors to refinish them by sanding them down and adding a new layer of paint. Or leave them bare for a more rustic finish. You can also remove cabinet doors on some of the upper cabinets for a unique storage option. New knobs or pulls can also go a long way here.
NEW COUNTERTOPS
If your cabinets are in good shape, replacing countertops might be the way to go. They are an instant stand out in the kitchen and can help make your home look like a million bucks. Glass tile could be a high-impact choice here.
ADD AN ISLAND
Since you are spending a lot of your remodeling budget in the kitchen, think about what features sell kitchens. Our clients all love double-islands, so chances are your buyer will too! Consider spending a portion of your remodeling budget on installing a brand new island in the kitchen. You can leave off the sink in the island if you are on a tighter budget.
UPDATED LIGHTING FIXTURES
Consider updating outdated lighting fixtures to something more on-trend like pendant lighting or under-cabinet lighting. Trendy and crystal-clear lighting fixtures can make a buyer feel like they are entering into a brand new home instead of a well-lived in home that might require a lot of care to maintain.
