How much time do you spend in your kitchen each day? Believe it or not, whether you cook a lot or a little, it's one of the most special spaces in your home. Keeping it to your liking should be a must in your house. However, you might be hesitant to renovate your kitchen because it is often said to be one of the most expensive remodels you can undertake.
The average budget that Spaniards estimate to renovate their kitchens to their full taste is between 5000 and 9000 euros. Do you think this is excessive? If you have kept an eye on the latest decoration trends, you will understand that it is not a stratospheric budget.
Even so, it's often one of the main spaces that needs to be renovated most urgently. That's why we bring you clever ideas to renovate your kitchen without breaking the bank.
Don’t leave it on your to-do list! Find out how to renovate your kitchen with the following steps.
Even if you aren't an expert in interior design, you'll know that your kitchen should have 3 correctly focused areas:
First, the "cooking area" or the place where food is prepared. The second focus is on the "washing and storage area," meaning the furniture where you store food and kitchen utensils and the sink. Finally, the area for appliances, such as the oven, microwave, or dishwasher.
The distribution of these 3 zones is key to ensuring ergonomics in your kitchen. However, it isn't easy to find the balance between them. To be sure of the changes you want to implement in your kitchen, you must first analyze your current layout, measure, and carefully consider where you want to go.
To help you in this process, we'll give you 6 key ideas to renovate your kitchen easily, quickly, and without needing a big budget.
The big problem: furniture.
Are you tired of the color of your furniture? Don't you like them anymore? It's normal that your tastes change over time, and there are solutions that will allow you to give them a new "face" and a new life.
Have you thought about restoring them and painting them in a more neutral color? Although it may seem complex, it's a job you can do yourself without needing to pay for labor. All you need are the right tools and the dream color you desire.
Start by removing the doors and drawers, sanding, and applying the paint according to the manufacturer's instructions.
If you think that this color change will not be enough, add some decorative detail to the doors, such as a frame or some other detail that we'll reveal later.
When you moved into your house, you might not have given the floor the importance it needs. In this case, the kitchen floor can be a real headache. We're not just talking about its aesthetic functions, but also its functionality.
If you're tired of looking at that outdated flooring, you can give it a fresh touch without raising dust. Try vinyl!
One of its advantages is its installation, which is uncomplicated, depending on the format you find it in (planks, tiles, or rolls). The best part: you don't have to remove your floor or uninstall the kitchen furniture. Additionally, it is a very resistant and durable material, with great realism in different materials, from ceramics to wood.
It’s a fact that tiles have changed a lot over time in terms of design and interior decoration. Are you tired of that decoration that once seemed the most original to you?
It’s normal; we all grow and change our tastes. That's why a great idea to update this area of your kitchen, without needing to do any work, is to paint them.
Thanks to current enamels and paints, it's very easy to "cover up" those outdated tiles, giving your kitchen the chic touch it needs.
The best part: it’s a much more economical and homemade option. All you need is a couple of brushes and a willingness to get your hands dirty!
¡Yes! This is the idea we almost revealed earlier. Those small elements, which at first glance go unnoticed, can change the perception of your kitchen.
It’s an easy, quick, and economical solution with which you can give your kitchen furniture a new look.
As a tip, it is preferable that the new handles fit the existing holes in your furniture. This way, you will avoid further damage.
The other great forgotten item and yet the crown jewel when it comes to key pieces in the functionality of a kitchen.
The faucets are a visible and prominent element in the kitchen. By choosing a new faucet design, you can completely transform the appearance of this space.
Choosing the right faucet can improve efficiency and comfort in our daily tasks. For example, faucets with pull-out or extendable heads make it easier to wash large dishes and utensils, while models with swivel spouts allow for greater reach and flexibility.
In recent years, technology has arrived in faucets to completely change designs. Consumers demand designer faucets, practical, with maximum comfort, that save water, etc.
Today, we can find taps equipped with motion sensors, making it easier to access water without having to touch the handle with dirty hands. Additionally, some models incorporate water filtration systems, providing drinking water directly from the tap and eliminating the need for additional filters or guarantees of hydraulic efficiency.
Faucets have become an essential piece in modern kitchens, where comfort and efficiency are key. Additionally, their decorative role should not be overlooked, as they can add a touch of style and personality to the overall kitchen design.
Don't underestimate the impact that a new faucet can have on renovating your kitchen! To avoid overwhelming you with so much information, I'll leave you this link to check out the most chosen kitchen taps by professionals.
