How to Plan the Perfect Kitchen Remodel on a Budget

The kitchen is not just a cooking space; it is always the heart of the home that needs to be in perfect order. It is where dinners are cooked, conversations are shared, and memories are created. 

However, as your needs grow, your kitchen may also. Remodelling a kitchen is never easy, the excitement soon gives way to a stunning array of choices — and budget limitations. Luckily, there are some ways you can modernize the look of your kitchen without it costing a small fortune—if you choose to plan smart!

Start with a Clear Vision

It is always best to know what your goals are before you start into the remodeling process. Whether you want to enhance functionality, improve old-school style, or increase your home resale value? Your priorities set the baseline for the decisions you make being in charge of the project. Spend some time browsing Pinterest or some home improvement blogs letting your mind run wild for ideas, and budget accordingly.

Along with assessing what works and what does not in your current kitchen. Your cabinets could be servicable, but look old. 

A simple coat of paint and new hardware might work instead of replacing them. These small updates can really change the look and feel of your kitchen without having you spend too much.

Create a Realistic Budget Plan

So now you have a goal — time to do some number crunching. Set a budget — then one for every aspect of the remodel, for example: cabinetry, countertops, flooring, lighting, and labor.

Remember that unplanned costs usually come with the territory when it comes to renovations, and always schedule a portion of your budget — 10% to 15% is common for contingencies.

Focus on Cost-Effective Design Choices

To keep your kitchen renovation budget-friendly, make high-impact, low-cost design choices. Rather than spending a fortune on granite or quartz countertops, buy laminate or butcher block that looks attractive, but is well-priced. Likewise, vinyl plank floor enacts the similar trick of faking the actual look of wood without charging the cost of wood.

Another method to brighten your kitchen and give it a more expansive feel is to paint walls in fresh, airy tones. Better lightingA new light fixture or some under-cabinet lighting is also a cheap way to set the mood and improve the use of the kitchen.

Reuse and Repurpose Where Possible

Instead of replacing everything try to reuse what you already own. Your cabinets may only need to be painted or need new cabinet doors made at this stage, for example. Save on the expense of new appliances if what you have is working well.

Donations can bring horror or glorious salvaged goods, thrift stores, salvage yards, and online outlets could yield treasure troves of inexpensive remodeling materials. Whether it be old cabinet handles or barely used sinks and faucets, second-hand shopping helps you both boost your budget and add character to your new place.

Hire Professionals Wisely

There is a limit; some bits of remodel work (like plumbing and electrical) are best left to the professionals. Although most people will likely be tempted to do it all themselves, only hire licensed contractors for specialized work. Having said that: get multiple estimates and references before hiring anyone to ensure you're getting the best price.

For other tasks, such as a painter or wall backsplash tile, get your hands dirty. You can strike a balance between quality and cost with a combination of hiring professionals and doing it yourself.
