The kitchen is no longer just a place of passage in the home. In recent years and perhaps as a result of the pandemic and the migration to remote work the kitchen has taken a leading role as the environment in which we spend more and more time.

In the kitchen we prepare our food. But we also get together to talk, work, think, and share with family and friends always around everything that really nourishes us, from a good meal, to those special moments that fill our memories with emotion.

Therefore, if you are thinking about remodeling or modernizing your kitchen and giving it the place it deserves in your home, it is important to know the following essential details:

Ideas To Renovate My Kitchen On A Low Budget

Remodeling a kitchen does not necessarily mean having a high budget. There is always a clever way to make modifications without spending so much. Also, you don't need to do a total renovation, it can be partial. We give you some ideas.

‍Colors

To give a feeling of renewal you can paint the walls a new color. White, widely used, is synonymous with clarity, but you can opt for another. For example, gray, which looks great, gives a visually spacious effect. You could even paint the walls or one in more striking colors like turquoise or aqua green. A color combination is also a good alternative. And playing with light colors and a darker variation of them also contributes to giving a greater feeling of spaciousness.

‍The Finishes And The Taps

You can also renew the walls by covering them with ceramics, porcelain or vinyl. Among these materials, the options are numerous, but tiles or mosaics are highly valued and give a particular touch. Outside the walls, you can change the faucets. You can not only opt for the classic silver one, but also some black or gold ones.

The Pastry Books And Furniture‍

There are several ideas to renew them. You can change them completely or just modify them, in style or color. One option is to make them in black, which gives it an elegant touch. The furniture can also be used without handles, a trend that is gaining more and more followers due to its clean and minimalist finish. Or you can just make them open; that is, without doors, as if they were shelves, although some avoid this because everything is visible.

The Decoration

Another way to give it a new face is to incorporate details such as paintings, glass objects, vases, jars or plants, which always look good. You can lean towards a particular style. Vintage, rustic or hipster has many followers today. You can even recycle objects or get second-hand things that give a unique touch to your kitchen. 

Make sure to combine a few special pieces that attract attention with others that are more basic, clear, or simple, to highlight specific areas and reduce the crowding of elements. This also makes the spaces easier to clean and maintain.

Bar, Chairs Or Benches

A bar is a very decorative and functional element. If you have the space to do it, it's a great addition to your kitchen. The top for the bar can be made of melamine if the budget is limited, but also made of other materials such as wood, quartz or granite, if you can invest more. The idea is that you accompany the bar with benches so that you can use it as an informal table or meeting place. If you already have a bar, you could just renew the benches.

The Lighting

In the kitchen you can also adapt the lighting or place new lights in particular points, such as in or under the pastries, where LEDs work well, although extra installation is necessary. Additionally, you could include hanging or static lamps, which will give it a fresh air.

Remodeling your house is an adventure, and the kitchen is one of the places in it that you will get the most out of due to its central role in daily life. Consider your alternatives, research trends, and make it the space you dream of for your home.
