Tips Of Cheap Kitchen Renovations In Perth

Below are the 14 dot points for helping save money on your cheap Perth Kitchen renovation with a more budget-friendly kitchen reno.

1. Set a Budget:
   • Determine how much you can afford to spend on the renovation. Having a clear budget will help you prioritize and make informed decisions.
2. Prioritize Changes:
   • Identify the most critical aspects of your kitchen that need improvement. Focus on essential changes rather than a complete overhaul.
3. DIY vs. Professional Help:
   • Consider doing some tasks yourself if you have the skills. However, for complex jobs like electrical or plumbing work, it’s often safer and more cost-effective to hire professionals.
4. Cabinet Makeover:
   • Instead of replacing cabinets, consider repainting or refinishing them. You can also change the hardware for a fresh look. This can significantly save on costs.
5. Open Shelving:
   • Consider replacing some upper cabinets with open shelves. Open shelving can be cheaper and give your kitchen a more spacious feel.
6. Paint:
   • A fresh coat of paint can do wonders for a kitchen. Choose light colors to make the space feel brighter and more open.
7. Laminate Countertops:
   • Laminate countertops are more affordable than granite or quartz. They come in various styles and can mimic the look of more expensive materials.
8. Update Lighting:
   • Changing light fixtures can make a significant impact. Look for budget-friendly options that complement the overall style of your kitchen.
9. Appliance Deals:
   • Keep an eye out for sales, discounts, or clearance deals on kitchen appliances. You might find good-quality appliances at a fraction of the cost.
10. Flooring Alternatives:
    • Instead of expensive hardwood or tile, consider cost-effective flooring options like vinyl or laminate. These materials can still provide a stylish look.
11. Smart Shopping:
    • Look for discounts, sales, and clearance items when shopping for materials. Consider outlets, discount stores, or online marketplaces for cost-effective options.
12. Reuse and Recycle:
    • If possible, reuse existing materials. For example, you might be able to repurpose cabinet doors, or use reclaimed wood for certain elements.
13. Focus on Small Details:
    • Sometimes, small changes can make a big difference. Upgrading faucets, cabinet handles, and other details can enhance the overall look of your kitchen without breaking the bank.
14. Plan for the Future:
    • If you can’t afford all the changes you want right now, plan for them in the future. Tackle the most critical renovations first and save for the rest over time.

Remember, the key to a successful budget kitchen renovation is careful planning and creativity. Prioritize what matters most to you, shop smartly, and consider DIY options where feasible.

4 Tips For Small Budget Kitchen Renovations

Below are four tips to help with your small kitchen planning to help you save yourself from yourself.

Tip 1. Small Kitchens Are Usually Big Visuals

Small compact kitchens in smaller or awkward homes and apartments are often front and centre or easily seen so you need to take into consideration how much of a feature it will be.

As it is often so on display you want your kitchen to be visually compatible with your home as you don’t want this eye sore or bold impact surrounded by neutral tones.

Equally, you also want to definitely limit open shelves in my opinion as you will need to keep those bad boys clean all the time.

Tip 2. Multi Use Kitchens

With space being a premium, it’s essential that your kitchen functions in multiple ways

Often trying to fit everything you usually have in a normal kitchen, fridge, oven, dishwasher and pantry to name a few can impact a smaller kitchen bench space.

If possible, the best item you can install in your small kitchen is an island bench that doubles as a dining table.

Furthermore, ensure the bench has sufficient overhangs (at least 150mm), and it will then be comfortable for guests to sit around and eat.

Tip 3. Get The Most Storage Possible

Obviously when it comes to compact kitchens storage is essential in a functioning kitchen, which can be hard to achieve.

Always work out what you need to store, and size your storage appropriately for how you use your kitchen space.

For example, pantry items storage works best when 300mm deep, so the items are easy to see and don’t get stacked behind others.

Overhead cupboards are this depth, but you don’t always want all your food stored up that high.

Ideally draws and pull-out cupboards are the best items you can in small kitchens as you can actually get to all the items

Rails to hang utensils, or small shelving for those regularly used items, can expand the storage capacity of your kitchen easily.

Tip 4. Appliance Selection Can Really Help

Appliances can be key in helping you save space and still tick the boxes in functionality.

Dishwashers are now available in models narrower than the standard 600mm, or as a dish-drawer that allows some extra storage below it.

You can combine cooktops now too with the exact elements you want – rather than buying one unit at a fixed size.

Look to the European brands as they’ve been designing for compact kitchens for a long time. They may be a slightly higher investment, but in a small kitchen, you need everything working really hard, so choose.

Overall as much as Ikea appliances might get a bad word said about them I think they are really good for compact kitchens.
