Improve the Kitchen Space
Of all the rooms in your home, the kitchen is the one that is frequently remodeled. With an eye to making life easier or to increase the resell value, consider what you can do instead of a major remodeling job. You may consider:
• Fresh Paint: While it sounds trivial, adding a new coat of paint can do wonders for a tired kitchen. If you select the current preferred colors and styles, it will go a long way to making everything that is old new again in a relatively inexpensive way. Choose contrasting or matching colors and slap paint dramatically or subtly on cupboards as well as walls.
• Repair: Repair anything that is broken or loose. Make sure the hinges on the cupboards are all functioning. Tighten handles and knobs.
• Replace: If possible, replace the hinges, the knobs of drawers, and handles of cupboards with ones that suit the changing décor of the room. If necessary, purchase new cupboards or visit a restore. If you do the latter, you will be helping more than yourself.
• Salvage: Whenever possible salvage the units you are redoing or replacing. Use only parts or repaint/resurface or redo them before replacing them in a new style or format
• Reconfigure: Shake up the placement of your kitchen by moving units around. This may give you more room and/or make things more easily accessible.
• Reconsider: Take the bare bones of the kitchen and/or its stations and reconsider the options. It is possible to keep the old countertop and cover it with a new one. This will give the room a totally new look without being so expensive.
• Energy efficiency: It pays to be energy efficient. Replace your older appliances with energy efficient ones. This will not only give your kitchen a new look but also decrease energy usage, saving you money in the long run.
