Are the holiday festivities at your house this year, and you want to be the hostess with the best kitchen?

You want to be able to upgrade your kitchen without breaking the bank. Unfortunately, the holiday season is getting more expensive yearly; this year is no exception. So we’ll show you ways to upgrade it while still having money left over.

This blog will answer all your burning questions, and you’ll be able to impress your family and friends in no time.

Add A Bright And Fun Splashback

Splashbacks are often overlooked when people are considering upgrading. Usually, a new oven or more cupboard space is the more prevalent request we get. But don’t overlook the impact a new splashback can have on your kitchen, mainly if it’s a nice bright color or a more modern look than what you previously had.

You can choose from plenty of different colors, textures, and materials. It gives you the perfect opportunity to add your personality and style into a room that is often the hub of most people’s homes. 

It’s a simple yet effective way to upgrade and update your kitchen while leaving money in your pocket.

Modernizing Your Countertops

Having new countertops can make a significant difference to your kitchen. But, if you want to take it even further, you could change your kitchen layout and add a kitchen island if you don’t already have one. 

This adds an extra area in your house that your family can use to sit down and catch up, particularly if you have limited seating areas. If you decide to have a kitchen island, make sure you have space.

This can be quickly done if you don’t have the space for a kitchen island or would instead upgrade your existing countertops. Just like updating your splashbacks, you can be creative with your countertops. There are many colors, finishings, and textures to choose from that will let you inject a bit of your personality and flair into your kitchen.

Add Creative Flooring Options

New flooring anywhere in your house makes a significant upgrade to your home. If you’re limited to how much work you can do in your kitchen, particularly before the holidays, then upgrading your kitchen flooring is the way to go.

Flooring materials and style have come a long way, mainly if your house isn’t, shall we say, ‘modern.’ You no longer have to choose from plain floorboards. If you are considering new flooring, don’t rush your decision. 

If you have pets, particularly ones that spend a lot of time inside, then there may be better options than wooden floorboards, as much as they are beautiful to look at, at this time. Weighing the pros and cons of selecting certain materials for your home can save you valuable money in the long run.

Replace Dated Or Broken Cabinets

Storage space is vital in your kitchen, particularly if you have a family. You can stock up on supplies AND have somewhere to put it all without putting it wherever you find room and forgetting where some of those spots are. You certainly don’t want to go shopping a couple of days before Thanksgiving or Christmas just because you’ve started running out of food and now only have the space to store it.

A walk-in pantry/cabinet is fantastic if you have the room and adds value to your kitchen. You can even upgrade your cabinets yourself. You’ll be amazed at how much of a difference it can make with a fresh coat of paint. So get the screwdriver out and fix that cabinet door you keep saying you need to improve. It’s the little things that can make the most significant impact.

These are just a few things you can do to upgrade your kitchen without spending too much. We mentioned above that even giving your cabinets and drawers a fresh coat of paint can make a big difference. You might even have some paint in the shed that you could use, and you won’t have to spend any money at all.
