Most kitchen remodels are moderate to high projects with sizeable budgets. The cost of a high-end Ottawa kitchen remodeling can be a bit pricy depending on the client’s needs. However, changing up the look of your kitchen does not always have to be an expensive affair. There’s always the opportunity to make changes with less effort and minimal expenses. Below, see some small changes you can make to reap big results in your kitchen. These are perfect if you’re getting bored of your kitchen’s look and need to change it up a little bit.
1. New cabinet doors
Changing the doors on your kitchen cabinets and drawers can change the look of your kitchen by as much as 25%. And it’s a very affordable and easy project to carry out. You can have an installer simply measure and order the new doors of your choice for you. There are lots of great options online and new cabinet doors are not that expensive. Plus, they come ‘cut and edged’ ready to install. It will only take your installer a short time to install these new doors and the labor costs for that should be quite reasonable.
2. New faucets
How long have you been using that same faucet? A kitchen faucet is used about 20 times a day. That’s a lot! So your kitchen could use a new one just for the sake of having a new one, if nothing else. The marketplace has lots of options here as well. The most common looks are stainless steel and matte black powder-coated faucets. You can also get bronzed units. A new faucet will add a significant change to your kitchen considering it is used so many times. Looks aside, modern faucets help to reduce water use and improve workflow at the sink making your work much easier.
3. New kitchen blinds
How do you dress up your kitchen windows? Do you use blinds, curtains, shutters, or nothing at all? Changing any of the above will help to add some much-needed color and vibrancy to your kitchen. And this should be the cheapest thing to do on this list. You can go online and order a custom shutter or blind for very little money. Varieties include designs featuring plain colors, patterns, bright multi colors, flowery designs, and even abstract designs. Materials include plastic, aluminum, and fabric.
4. New wall paint
Some new paint on your kitchen walls can make the space feel brand new again. There are tens of colors to choose from so you are bound to find a look that fits your style and that of your kitchen. A bright wall color such as white or cream can also help to add more light to your kitchen. A kitchen remodeler can handle such a project in a day or two and the costs should be relatively modest.
5. New worktops
Worktops get used a lot in any given kitchen. They provide the space where all the prepping is done. But modern kitchen countertops are a design element as well. And like with any other highly-visible surface in the kitchen, it is easy to get bored with your worktops after a while. Luckily, they can be swapped out easily and replaced with lots of alternatives in the market. There are plenty of designs to choose from and common materials include granite, marble, wood, and stainless steel.
