Kitchens are gathering places in most homes, creating a convenient place for families to cook, eat, and laugh together. However, since they get so much use, they can quickly become damaged or dated, and may benefit from kitchen remodeling. Here are a few tips for designing a new kitchen on a budget.  

Kitchen Remodeling For Less

1. Keep the Floorplan the Same

One of the easiest ways to save money while kitchen remodeling is by keeping your current layout. Moving appliances may involve relocating plumbing or electrical lines, which can add up fast. However, by keeping cabinets and appliances where they are now and replacing the components, you can avoid added expenses.

2. Repurpose Whatever You Can

While there are likely some elements of your kitchen that need to be completely replaced, repurpose items whenever you can. For instance, instead of ripping out an old tile backsplash, you could have it re-glazed to be a simple white color.

If you need new cabinets, think about repainting your existing cabinets and adding new hardware instead of replacing them. When deciding between repurposing or replacing an item, evaluate its condition. Try to repurpose items that need to be refreshed with a coat of paint or new hardware. 

3. Look for Sales

Whether you need new flooring or plumbing fixtures, be on the watch for sales. Visit retailer's websites frequently when you are in the market for new kitchen appliances or components so that you can quickly spot a good deal. By being willing to purchase on-sale items, you can save an exceptional amount of money during kitchen remodeling. However, be sure that any item you buy meshes with your project vision and is made to last.
