5 Easy Ideas for Updating the Kitchen on a Budget
Don’t allow a slim wallet to get in the way of your home improvement goals. By making simple and cost- effective changes to your kitchen, you will have the satisfaction of adding some pizzazz and value to your home, while creating a renewed and refreshed environment.
"Prioritize items of importance when making your home improvement purchases," said John Kasberger, senior vice president of merchandising for kitchen and bath at Lowe’s. "Keep in mind that small changes can make a big impact on your home."
Charming Kitchen Upgrades:
□ Changing the knobs on your kitchen cabinets provides a refreshing boost to the room’s overall look.
□ While you are focusing upon your kitchen, don’t forget the faucet. This easy refresh will give your sink a new feel. Try an antique copper finish for a country kitchen look.
□ Updated appliances not only makes a statement but by choosing ENERGY STAR® qualified items, you are saving energy and money simultaneously.
□ Complement your new appliances with an easy-to-install tile backsplash.
□ To give your entire kitchen a new appearance, install pre-pasted wallpaper that is both user-friendly and low-maintenance. Plus it requires only warm water and a sponge to remove stains.
"Remember you don’t have to tackle a significant makeover to change the appearance of your home," says Kasberger. "Choosing even one room to update can make you eager to come home to a fresh and new environment."
