A kitchen makeover can breathe new life into your home, but the cost can be daunting and even off-putting. The good news is that with a bit of careful planning and creative thinking, refreshing the look of your kitchen can be a lot less expensive than you might think. From injections of colour to spruced up surfaces and hardware, these savvy, budget friendly kitchen renovation ideas from Kit Kitchens will allow you to revamp your kitchen without breaking the bank.
Fresh lick of paint
A fresh coat of paint may seem minor, but it can dramatically transform your kitchen. Opt for light, neutral colours to make the space feel cleaner, larger and more open. An obvious choice is to paint the walls, but cabinets can also benefit greatly from a new coat of paint to make them look new again.
Add a splash of colour
There are plenty of ways to add colour to make your kitchen more exciting and reflect your personal style. Appliances are a great place to start – choose from bold and bright or pastel-coloured kettles, toasters and stand mixers. Colourful furniture is another affordable kitchen makeover solution that can be achieved (and changed) quickly and easily – this could be anything from bar stools and benches, to dining tables and chairs.

Install a backsplash
Adding or updating a backsplash can instantly add a whole of character to your kitchen. Whether your style is colourful patterned tiles or classic neutrals, a metallic backdrop or mirrored surface, the effective installation of a backsplash can help to bring the design of your kitchen makeover together.
Update hardware and taps
Spruce up your space by replacing knobs, handles and taps for a simple and budget-friendly way to update the look of your kitchen. Think of your cabinet hardware like jewellery for your kitchen – although small, it can make a huge impact on the overall aesthetic. There are so many different designs, materials and finishes to choose from, like polished chrome, brushed-brass, antique copper, bright white and matte black.
Fabric finishes
Fabric features in the kitchen are not only great for styling your space but are also a highly practical and affordable way to switch things up. Choose from a wide range of colours, patterns and fibres to complement or provide contrast to other features in your kitchen. From tea towels and pot holders to curtains and tablecloths, fabric finishes are a simple and creative solution for an affordable kitchen makeover.
Accessorise
Small details can make a big impact, and new kitchen accessories are one of the most affordable ways to give your kitchen a facelift. On your walls, add artwork that resonates with you and adds a touch of personality to your kitchen. On shelves you can display decorative vases and framed photos. For the benches, add green leafy pot plants and bright bowls for storing fresh produce.
