When you renovate your kitchen, it’s hard to resist the urge to buy all-new everything and splurge on new features. If you want to complete your kitchen renovation on time and stick to your budget, then make sure you squeeze every penny and create a thorough plan in advance. Here are a few quick tips for maximizing your kitchen renovation budget, no matter how big or small it is.
Reuse Your Hardware
Your kitchen is full of hardware that connects to cabinets and appliances alike. Instead of replacing all 40 handles around the room, consider reusing your hardware. If your knobs and pulls work well and stylistically match your remodel, you should save a few bucks by reusing them.
Use Cost-Effective Materials
Your material selection is quite important when renovating your kitchen. Finding suitable materials requires a delicate balance between cost-efficiency and strength. On one hand, you don’t want your renovation to cost a fortune. On the other hand, you don’t want your newly built kitchen to fall apart. That’s why you should find middle grounds that offer fair costs without sacrificing durability. Consider using affordable, ready-to-assemble kitchen cabinets that feature strong materials.
Avoid Room Restructuring
Your kitchen layout should work for you with the space you have. If you enjoy your current layout, cabinet spacing, and appliance locations, you shouldn’t restructure them. The cost to rip out old kitchen islands, re-floor where cabinets used to be, and create new hookups for appliances will quickly eat up your budget. Avoid room restructuring if you’d like to maximize your savings.
Use these quick tips for maximizing your kitchen renovation budget as you prep and rebuild. Whether you’re working with a contractor or renovating on your own, explore these and other ways to save money while still creating a beautiful new space.
