The beauty of DIY projects is that they allow you to save money you can put towards upgrades elsewhere in the home. The kitchen is one of the rooms you can make a lot of difference with a lick of paint and some clever accessorizing. You can then enhance your remodel with some unique and contemporary details such as glass. Here is some advice from a top hardwood flooring company Palmetto Road is currently in a buzz !
Cabinets
Your kitchen cabinets are one of the main focuses of even the smallest of kitchens. They can also be a real eye sore in older homes. If your cabinets seem to be in reasonable good repair you can revamp them with paint and then refresh the overall look with new pulls. Wood cupboards can be sanded, primed and painted with a high gloss or semi gloss paint for a smooth and modern look. You can go all out with a punch of colour or use creams, whites and grays for a more neutral look. White cabinets are always in and can be updated with design changes to the rest of the kitchen when you get bored. Black cabinets are elegant and can suit both modern and traditional designs. If your budget can take on a little more of an investment you can also look to pre-fabricated cabinets available at your local home renovation centre. The only issue with these cabinets is you may have difficulty getting a perfect match for your kitchen’s size and configuration.
Flooring
Flooring can also prove to be an easy DIY upgrade for your kitchen remodel. You can look to budget friendly hardwood floor, eco-friendly bamboo or cork or traditional tile choices. Hardwood is also always lovely in a kitchen but may take a little more know how to get it right. New flooring makes a huge impact in any room and you can have a lot of fun using checkerboard patterns with tile or vinyl flooring, create lovely borders that run along your cabinets using mosaics or add a more grounded look with darker laminates and hardwood.
Bespoke Glass Work Tops
Kitchen work tops are one of the areas you can put those DIY savings to good use. A new kitchen needs new work tops to make your efforts stand out. Glass work tops offer an excellent option and come in thousands of colour choices. This makes finishing your kitchen a breeze with so many perfect colour combinations available to suit your new design. They are easy to clean and will stand up to the tests of time. Bespoke glass work tops are hygienic and highly durable providing a beautiful solution for your kitchen remodel.
Glass Splash Backs
The finishing touch to every kitchen is the splash backs. Glass splash backs are the perfect complement to your glass work tops as well as natural stone such as granite and marble. You can have a seamless look using the same colours or choose a different colour for contrast and interest. Glass is the perfect answer for splash backs providing a solid surface to keep out leaks and maintain a crisp, clean look for your kitchen. The sparkle of glass on work tops and splash backs are ideal for both modern and traditional kitchens.
