7 Ways to Update Your Kitchen on a Budget

We would all love a kitchen straight out of the Homes and Gardens magazine, but when eggs are $6 a dozen that isn’t in the cards for everyone. Here at Completely Kitchens, we believe every person should have a kitchen they love. So here are 7 Ways to Update Your Kitchen on a Budget.

1. Add Under Cabinet Lighting

It’s amazing how big of a difference light alone can make in the function and feel of your kitchen. We offer an under-cabinet lighting installation that is finished in an afternoon, and you will be astounded at how different your space feels. 

2. Swap out the Backsplash

Changing out your backsplash can make both your cabinets and countertops feel refreshed immediately. This can be done with a coat of paint or brand new tile, but either way it makes a big impact!

3. Install a New Sink

A fresh, new sink can make a big difference in the function and feel of your kitchen. If you change to a workstation sink like the one pictured above - dishes might even be fun to do!

4. Add New Drawer Knobs or Pulls

Changing out the decorative hardware or knobs on your cabinet doors is a great way to modernize your home without the cost of brand new cabinets. Just keep in mind that the new knobs or pulls should have the same number of screw holes for easy installation. 

5. Paint Your Cabinets

Whether you decide to DIY your own cabinet paint job or hire it done - a fresh coat of paint makes your cabinets feel brand new without the price. If you choose the DIY route - keep in mind it can be tough to get a factory level paint finish on your own. So this is best for experienced DIYers or to hire done. 

6. Create a Beverage Bar

Turning a small space into a coffee station, bar cart, or another functional space is another great addition to any kitchen. This can be done by adding simply a bar cart, or installing a second sink next to your coffee machine for easy cleanup!

7. Install New Quartz Countertops

Our final budget-friendly idea is installing new countertops. Quartz countertops are an amazing way to elevate the feel of your kitchen or even change the entire mood of the space.
