Do you feel like you can do better with your kitchen space? Perhaps your kitchen feels obsolete or too dull? Maybe you studied the latest kitchen trends and wished you could replicate that at home. Kitchen remodels come with numerous benefits that you shouldn't miss out on.
Looking at your kitchen, you may wonder what to prioritize and what to change in your kitchen to give it a facelift on a tight budget. The following are some key features in your kitchen that can quickly transform its look during a kitchen remodel.
1. Paint or Change the Cabinets
You cannot underestimate the power new cabinetry has on kitchen space. Cabinets account for a significant amount of your kitchen space. If you aren't pleased with their color, size, shape, functionality, and location, you may need to add them to your kitchen remodel plans.
Instead of just painting them, your contractor might recommend installing modern kitchen cabinets if your budget allows. Consider exploring different color finishes and planning for a new cabinetry layout to improve the design and functionality.
2. Get a Fresh Coat of Paint
Your kitchen probably needs a new coat of paint to reignite its luster. Over time, soot from burnt food in the oven, dirt, and food color marks may weigh down the look of your kitchen's walls and ceiling. You can change everything else and leave the old walls and ceilings, but you won't get the ultimate facelift. Therefore, pick colors that blend well with the cabinets, countertops, and window treatments. It is best to involve a professional remodeling contractor for quality results.
3. Replace Obsolete Plumbing Fixtures
The ideal time to upgrade your kitchen's plumbing system is when all your walls have been torn down during the remodeling phase. Due to the delicate processes involved during this phase, you may want to hire a reliable plumbing contractor as well. They will carefully remove the old plumbing pipes, faucets, sinks, and drains.
You can upgrade to modern fittings to enhance efficiency and durability. While at it, take the time to shop for new appliances such as dishwashers and ovens.
4. Change the Kitchen's Overall Layout
If you have been trying to create more space in your kitchen, this is a perfect time. If you have noticed that your refrigerator cannot open as you place the dirty dishes in the dishwasher, you might need to try a new kitchen layout.
Your remodeling contractor will strive to find a new and effective kitchen layout that allows you to move seamlessly and use all your appliances without any problems.
There's a lot you can with your kitchen to give it a new look. However, these are some of the top improvements that you should prioritize. Involve a remodeling contractor to get professional advice and improve the likelihood of getting great results.

My name is Debbie Greenberg. I’m a single woman who owns her home, and like most homeowners I dread home repairs. I’m not very handy with do-it-yourself projects around the house. I can do a few minor repairs when necessary, but for the most part I have to call in a professional. Last year I had a leak in my roof. When it rained, water would leak into my kitchen. What appeared to be a simple fix turned out to be anything but simple. It took over four months to finally identify the problem, and double the money I was initially quoted to fix it. The problem ended up being that the flat part of my roof didn't have shingles, but a sheeting material. I learned a bit about home roofs along the way, and that is what I want to share with you.
