Once again this is a really cheap way to update the look and feel of your kitchen, and the only real investment aside from a couple of tins of paint is your time.
New handles and knobs can give your cabinets and drawers a new look. They are not too expensive either, and with so many styles available including ornate antique and modern handles, you can make a real impact with just a small investment and one evening spent doing the job.
A slightly more expensive yet with impressive end results, replacing and updating our kitchen surfaces can have a big impact.
Just as wall paints can really freshen up the kitchen space, so can new flooring. Again, on a tight budget, you can easily install plastic laminated floor tiles to save a lot of time and effort, or invest in other materials like ceramic, porcelain and vinyl flooring.
Clever lighting helps a great deal.
Adding LED bulbs for example will not only male your kitchen brighter but also save you money compared to using CFL bulbs. Also look at table-top and floor-standing lamps to brighten up darker corners of your kitchen, as well as new fittings or shades for the ceiling lights.
