What are the cheap ways to update your kitchen I was looking for a hassle-free kitchen revamp ideas that could work for any kitchen without breaking the bank? Unlike most writers, I’m a person that has actually tested many of the ideas described here in my own kitchen. If you’re the same as me, have a limited budget to do a full restoration of your kitchen, then possibly a few of these ideas could be beneficial to you:)

Most of the people I know have small kitchens and they are struggling for space. So their kitchens look a bit more untidy than a larger kitchen with more storage area would.  That is simply down to the fact that more stuff is on a show as there’s no room to hide it.

I can understand issues on both sides as I am somewhere in the middle. My kitchen was formed from two smaller rooms but altogether this makes for a decent-sized kitchen. One room was the original kitchen and the second room was a part of a conversion from a garage. Therefore, I sometimes have to cope with a problem associated with a small kitchen, e.g. workspace for all the kitchen equipment I like to have to hand. Kettle, coffee maker, food processor, toaster, blender, scales, knives etc. Everything seems to be in my way when I am actually cooking; there is simply not enough countertop to give everything its own working place.

However, I have enough space to hide everything as there are a lot of cabinets. The big problem with that is “Out of sight out of mind.” In other words, if a piece of equipment is not where I can easily see it, I often forget to use it.

Do The Job Very Well but there are more ways.

How long has it been since last you took all your portable kitchen equipment off your countertops and cleared away all those escaped crumbs and other stray foods? How about those splashes on the wall tiles? They will have to go. If you’ve nowhere else, put countertop tools on the floor. They will only be there for a short period of time it will take to get some soapy water and a scourer to the areas to be cleaned. A final squirt and wipe over with an antibacterial spray might be a good idea too.

Please understand that you will have to spend some money on revamping your kitchen. Do not expect fantastic results for free, it does not work that way. However, you can have a brand new looking kitchen with a bit of your time and a reasonable amount of money spent. It is obvious of course the more you spend then the bigger change you can make, but the trick is to spend as little as possible to achieve wonderful looking results.

Most of the ideas presented here have been done in my kitchen already. Some cost more than others but none of them came close to breaking the bank and I could still pay my mortgage easily every month while I kept improving the look of my, now lovely, kitchen!

After painting or vinyl covering your cabinets with vinyl, the next most costly large and easily noticed item to change is your countertops. Post formed laminate tops have been the most usual material over recent years. Marble, granite, slate and stone tops have made a reappearance too. These materials have been used for centuries but are expensive to install these days. As we are talking budget revamps I’d like to introduce you to a much lower cost alternative.

I decided to use a good quality vinyl to cover my counters. Maybe laminate counter tops don’t cost a lot but they are not as cheap as a good quality vinyl. Also, on the top of the material expense you have to add labor costs because fitting laminate counters is a specialist  job.

When changing countertops, on top of the actual fitting, walls and other parts of your kitchen could get damaged. For that reason I have chosen to put decent vinyl over my existing countertops and it made an absolutely lovely job!!!

Please remember, you can’t just use any type of vinyl on your countertops. So I have prepared a few articles for you where I recommend what to use and most importantly how to do it; including videos and images. Yes, you can follow them and do it too.

If you think your flooring needs a revamp then, provided your existing floor covering is intact without any holes or other damage, you can simply lay new floor coverings on top of it saving the mess of taking it up. Also, you only need to cover what is seen. No need to go wall-to-wall, just underneath the cabinet plinth strips which lift out easily. Less fuss, often less cost too.

Here you have two options;
1 – You can buy a roll of vinyl flooring – you will need someone to help you to lay it down.
2 – You can buy floor vinyl stickers  – again easy and you can fit them yourself.

I have chosen option two because it suited my kitchen best. See the results here:

Having under counter appliances on show doesn’t always suit the look of a kitchen. Neither does open, often untidy, shelving, units without doors or other types of nooks and crannies. To help get a more tidier or uniform look it often helps to lessen their impact by covering these places or things with something as simple as a curtain. A bold patterned print with colors complimenting your kitchens décor often work best, or a simple plain one might suit your taste.

In my kitchen, recycling bins were on show and that drove me crazy but I always seemed too busy to sort them out. One day I finally just ordered a curtain, plus fixing for it, and bingo; here you have result:

If tiling isn’t an option, try sticking cladding panels on the wall between your high level cabinets and your countertops. They usually come with adhesive backings for easy installation so you can fit them yourself. Apart from coming in a vast range of colors, including metallics, you can also get them with quotes or sayings on. This is an especially good option for use in rental property.

I did not do it as I have used vinyl tile stickers instead but I can see this as a good idea, particularly behind cooking hobs.

Repainting the walls and ceiling has got to be the biggest, most visually obvious and most cost effective change maker for any kitchen. Some say the job can be done in a day, but that of course depends on the size of your kitchen and almost certainly does not include preparation time and putting everything back afterwards. Preparation is key here. Kitchen walls can often be greasy and dirty and paint doesn’t take kindly to either of them. So you MUST start by cleaning and degreasing your kitchen.

Actually, you really start by deciding on your color scheme. Color psychologists (yes, they do exist) say to avoid the color blue in a kitchen as it can dull your taste buds and, because it is a place of work, to keep your kitchen color scheme bright and vibrant. My advice is to look through some magazines and websites to see what inspires you personally. It is you that has to work in there after all. Everyone can paint, with care, and I did it in my kitchen with a good result. It added a nice ‘room freshness’ feeling.

Changing or adding lights on your ceiling could transform your kitchen. However, it really depends on the kitchen. While the distribution of lighting in a kitchen can make a world of difference to you working easier and more safely, it is often not considered at all. Kitchen lighting design has a history of following lamp technology. We’ve gone from tungsten, to fluorescent, halogen and now Led lamps.

My advice is to get a light fitting that gives a good light distribution and takes Led lamps. Led’s are safer and longer lasting too. 3½ watt from a cool Led lamp gives a better light compared to 50w from a hot halogen lamp. That’s more than 14 times better efficiency from a cheaper lamp. You’ll notice that difference in lower electricity bills too.

Every kitchen needs a clock of some sort. How about making yours stand out as a talking point? Go for a big ‘ol industrial wall mounted timepiece, they make replicas now with a quart movement. Or perhaps something colorful, jazzy, or bold. As long as the color is in keeping with the rest of your new stylish kitchen décor – or maybe clash with it, making a real personal statement.

Transform all of your light switches in minutes with vinyl stickers. This is so easy and cheap to do but helps to make light switches match the rest of your kitchen décor without changing the actual switches or faceplates.

I have transformed my kitchen with other methods first and then used lightswitch stickers afterwards as I could then see exactly what color worked best for my walls.

It doesn’t take long before we have accumulated more equipment in our kitchen than there seems to be space for. When this happens, the first thing to do is set aside some time put your kitchen kit into a much better working order. When we appear to have lots of space we tend not to worry too much about organization. This means we can probably free up quite a bit of storage with a bit more thought of where to put everything. The best thing is, this won’t cost you any money at all and can easily improve the look of your kitchen.

You can hang pans on a wall to help the look of your kitchen and increase storage space. Or have several sets of ‘nested’ pans fit in just one drawer.

I have prepared for you a series of posts and videos about kitchen storage improvement so you can see some ideas of how you might improve your storage. There are many ways to do it and I have plenty of good tips.

If you do a lot of cooking, then you’ll know it’s good to have all your tools close at hand. How the professional chefs achieve that is by hanging a lot of their utensils on a rail at head height where they can grab them quickly. In smaller kitchens you may need all your wall space for storage but, if you have space, it makes your kitchen look so professional when you add a tool rail to it.

If you have a small wall space that could be used for storage but is not big enough to squeeze a cabinet into, you could perhaps put some shelving up instead. Shelves can be made to fit virtually any space, big or small, and are relatively cheap to buy and install. Rather than clutter your shelf up, use it to showcase some of your kitchenware.

EASY CHEAP WAYS TO UPDATE YOUR KITCHEN – WALL TILE STICKERS?

Are you still want to know more Cheap Ways To Update Your Kitchen? One way of making a small kitchen appear much bigger is to remove the cabinet doors. You don’t have to remove all the doors, just those around eye level. Effectively this means you now have over counter shelving instead of high-level cabinets.

There are disadvantages to this, isn’t there always?

* One is that everything on the ‘shelving’ is now far more susceptible to getting atmospheric dust and dirt accumulate on things you don’t use too often. So you’ll need to empty and clean the contents more often; or add glass doors. This still gives the impression of size but without the added health risk.

** A second disadvantage is that if you have clutter on your ‘shelving’, everyone can now see it; even if you do add glass doors. A way to overcome this is to reorganize the contents of all of your cabinets and shelving so that whatever you put in the top cabinets can be seen as being ‘displayed’ rather than just housed in there.

Instead of revamping your kitchen to give it a modern streamlined feel, you could find it more cost effective to go the other way, retro/vintage. For this you could acquire second user furniture from thrift stores, yard sales and Craigslist etc. Giving old furniture a makeover of modern paint in vibrant colors could also look really cool. You could have some real fun at knockdown prices if you decide to take this approach.

The kitchen has been considered to be the heart of the home for years, the place where the family gathered to eat and talk. Creating a full sized dining area will only apply to larger or medium sized kitchens that have sufficient space. So is it possible to create one in a smaller kitchen?

When space it at a premium, all you really need to find is enough room to stand a drop leaf table and some folding chairs. They can be out of the way during cooking time, set up in the central floorspace while dining and then put away again afterwards.

While I said earlier that it’s possible to store many nested pans in a drawer, that only applies to smaller pans of uniform shape. For larger vessels, and pans of more irregular shapes, investing in an overhead pan rack could be a good alternative. Pan racks are generally seen over kitchen islands but smaller ones can be positioned nearer to a wall if space is bit tight. Like the railing for utensils feature, pan racks tend to give a period or professional feel to a kitchen while also being extremely useful and convenient.

Now you know the cheap ways to update your kitchen? Right? Here, you just read some of the best kitchen transformational ideas that can actually make big differences in your kitchen. You don’t need to do all of them, just try a few of them. It is very likely you will love the results. However, do not dream that you will spend just ten dollars and your kitchen becomes amazing looking.

Sorry, but you will see very little difference if you are thinking of a total kitchen revamp with just pocket change. Be realistic, write a list of what you want to do. Then decide how much you can spend at a time; then just do it. A little at a time,  project after project. That is exactly what I did and you just have seen the results.

I have also shared my experience and tips via many articles and videos that should help you to see and understand nearly all described above ideas. In other words, before you start your project you would be able to see how to do it and what to expect. I hope that my work will help you:)
