Our 6 Top Tips for a Budget Kitchen Facelift

Is your kitchen looking tired or dated but you don’t have the money for an entire kitchen renovation? Replacing a complete kitchen can be an expensive – and it might not be necessary. If your cupboards are structurally sound you might find a facelift is all you need to rejuvenate the space. A kitchen facelift is also a great option for landlords seeking to improve a rental property. Here are our top tips for a cheap kitchen makeover that won’t look cheap.

1. New Cupboard Doors and Drawer Fronts

If your cupboards are sound and well laid out you probably don’t need to replace them. There are many kitchen makeover companies who can simply update your kitchen’s cupboard doors and drawer fronts. Another option is to have them resprayed or re-laminated. These options won’t break the bank and you will be surprised at how it will modernise your kitchen.

2. Update your Splashback

Many kitchens are let down by old-fashioned or stained splashbacks. A kitchen renovation company can replace your old tiled kitchen splashback with new tiles, or update your look even further with a glass or mirrored splashback.

3. New Benchtops

Replacing the benchtops in your kitchen is a tried and tested way to renew a kitchen. This can cost as much or as little as your budget allows. From just repainting the benchtop in a specialist paint to replacing the benchtop with laminate or even stone or concrete, the results will amaze you.

4. Replace the Tapware and/or Sink

Replacing old and dull taps in your kitchen can give it an instant update. There are many styles available and you can get a great looking mixer tap at a very reasonable price. Replacing your sink is similarly transformative.

5. Painting

It’s something you a probably more like to consider in other rooms but it’s a great option in the kitchen too. A lick of paint can update the space and is one of the most cost-effective ways to instantly refresh your kitchen.

6. Appliances

Replacing appliances can be expensive, so only do so if you really need to. Having said that, appliances aren’t as expensive as they once were and you can find cheap models that look as good as their dearer counterparts. Choose appliances with great finishes for a luxurious look.
