If you can’t afford new cabinets get new cabinet knobs
The kitchen is the heart of the home and when it comes to getting the most bang for your home improvement buck not much tops the work you can do in the kitchen. Here are some of the things you can focus on (small and large) to improve your house value.
1. Refacing kitchen cabinets - this is a biggie. It can be expensive, although if you do the work yourself it’s much more cost effective. You can get stock cabinets or custom made ones. You could even just replace the doors or repaint them and it would still made a visual improvement.
2. Add kitchen islands - this one can be fun, but only if you have the space for it. If the middle of your kitchen isn’t big enough, or the layout just doesn’t lend itself to this, then you could also get a kitchen island cart and gain the additional storage and workspace without doing anything permanent.
3. New undermount kitchen sinks - your old one could have stains you don’t even know are there because you just got used to that yucky color. You can take out your sink and put in a nice new one, stainless steel is the new rage.
Overall it can be quite rewarding to redesign and overhaul your kitchen and these are a few of the ways you can do that. Watch for our other posts about this topic as well.
