Before you rush to your local carpenter for kitchen remodeling, there is one thing that you should give a serious thought to, and that one thing is figuring out what do you really want to do with your kitchen. First of all, ask yourself this question: “Am I the person who’s going to use the kitchen?” If it’s your wife who’ll be in the kitchen most of the time, get her in the makeover process; sit together and decide on your ideal kitchen. Once you’re clear about the outcome, rest won’t bother you much. Here are 5 ideas that’ll help you out greatly:
1. Countertops Matter a Lot!
You just can’t do without countertops, can you? Once you’ve thrown the dust, dirt, and the cobwebs out of the room, the first thing that you should do is update those age-old countertops, or better still, you can enhance their looks manifold using solid surface laminate countertops. Laminates won’t cost you much, and will instantly brighten up the whole area. Gloss laminate is a worthwhile investment.
2. Cabinetry
There is ...
... nothing wrong in desiring for a new cabinetry. If you’re on a tight budget, you can look for options, like painting. Just make sure the colors of your cabinetry go well with the looks and feel of your countertops, which have been accentuated with laminate colors and designs of your choice; consider wood gloss laminate for your kitchen makeover.
3. Is There a Window in the Room?
Well, if the kitchen has a window, you better open it most of the time. Let the fresh air come in! The open window will add a whole new dimension to the kitchen interior.
4. Colors
Go a little wild with colors! Play with colors and transform your regular kitchen into a masterpiece. There are no hard and fast rules for colors for the kitchen; use colors that excite you, and make you feel like cooking! Avoid dark colors though.
5. Floors, Fixtures, Wall, and Ceiling
Now, if you’re on a tight budget (what is a tight budget for me may not be a tight budget for you, or for anybody else; the definition varies from person to person, and household to household), you better redo the floors, fixtures, walls, and ceilings on your own; you can even invite a friend to help you out. He/she can also help you picking out the best solid surface laminate countertops for the kitchen countertops.
This is, by no means, a comprehensive list of kitchen makeover ideas; there are many more ideas out there. However, these 5 ideas alone have the potential to create a world of difference to your kitchen decor, so make the most out of these ideas.
