Top space saving tips for a DIY kitchen makeover
I
s your kitchen looking a bit tired and outdated?
Then spruce it up with some affordable upgrades
for a new, fresh look.
Most landlords do not permit you to drill holes
in the wall or do major structural renovations. So,
before doing anything, refer to the regulations in your
lease agreement regarding renovations. Then, consult
with your landlord to get permission. Here are a few
top tips for an easy, budget-friendly kitchen makeover,
which you can do over the weekend:
Handle it
For a cheap and easy update, replace the doorknobs,
pulling levers or other handles for your kitchen
cupboards and drawers.
Island style
A kitchen island is an inexpensive way to add extra
counter and storage space. You can buy a readymade island from your local kitchen unit supplier or
easily make one yourself from a kit bought at your
local hardware store or kitchen designer.
Paint it
Another way to update your kitchen cabinetry is to
paint either inside or out, or both. Only painting the
upper cabinets, amounts to half the work at half the
price, instead of painting all of them. Having cabinets
painted inside with open shelves will brighten up
even the smallest of spaces in your kitchen.

Free up your cupboard space
Remove the doors off your cupboards, mounted
higher up on the wall, to show off your pretty
crockery stored on the open shelves. Rather store
your heavy pots and pans in the lower cupboards.
