dmhome • Oct 31, 2018

 

How is your current budget looking? Can it manage a major kitchen remodel that could cost tens of thousands of dollars? We didn’t think so, which is why we wanted to come up with some budget friendly ideas that you will love! If you have been postponing your kitchen remodel due to costs, you may change your mind after seeing what we have come up with.

Here are 5 budget-friendly kitchen remodeling ideas you’ll love:

Stick with what You Need

When you began planning your kitchen remodel, you probably decided that you needed to replace and repair everything in this space. Well, does everything really need to go? Do you really need everything to be brand sparkling new? We recommend that you take a good look around your kitchen and see what you can keep and utilize in your new space. You may find that your cabinets are still in excellent condition and that you may be able to stain or paint them to make them look fresh and save a bundle. You may be able to keep your existing flooring or appliances as well.

Shop Around for Materials

You may have your heart set on a specific countertop, but then you find that the cost will eat up a good portion of your budget. It is never a good idea to blow an entire budget on one item, which is why we always say to shop around for materials. You probably won’t find that exact same countertop for less anywhere else, but you may find another type that you love just as much.

Check Second Hand Stores

There are numerous second-hand stores popping up all over the place and they can be a great place to start looking for items for your remodeled kitchen. You may not find everything you need, and you may need to be creative and repurpose an item into something else, but this is a great way to save on your budget.

Consider a Little DIY

You are not going to be able to do all the work on your own, after all, there is plumbing, electrical, and more specialty things going on in this space. However, you may be able to demolish the items that you are removing. Just make sure that you don’t do more damage than necessary, or your costs will skyrocket immediately.

Replace only the Appliances You Need to

You may not need to replace all your appliances, which means that you can save some money to use on other items for your remodel. We recommend choosing quality appliances instead of the cheapest ones that you can find, or you will be replacing them sooner than later and spending even more money. We also recommend that you consider buying appliances that are sold as a set, if you do need to replace everything, because you can save hundreds, if not thousands of dollars by doing so.

These five budget-friendly ideas will save you a bundle on your kitchen remodel and we know that you can think of ways to save even more. Start thinking of your options now and then get to work remodeling your kitchen into the space that you have been dreaming of!

Quick and Easy Budget Bathroom Remodeling Ideas that Won’t Break the Bank

By D & M Enterprises • 19 Jul, 2019
Sometimes we put off bathroom remodeling because we want to wait until we have enough money to do something really special. It is easy to feel tempted to spend big on your bathroom upgrade. New products are revealed frequently, and bathroom trends occasionally change. Neither of these factors have to influence your plans, as many low cost ideas can lead to big results. Refinish the bathtub. While an old bathtub can be unsightly, it doesn’t necessarily have to be replaced. Refinishing is a far cheaper option and it can make the bathroom look like new. Removal and installation are other costs you have to face if you decide to replace the tub. Get a new faucet. A new, shiny faucet will instantly show that you have done some work in the bathroom, even with few other improvements. A new faucet can also add a modern or retro touch, depending on your preference. Choose a new paint color. A different color can give the space a big lift, making it seem like you spent more on the remodel. Browns, blues, greens and grays can help to create a relaxing atmosphere. Freshen up grout and caulk. Dingy grout and caulk can give the bathroom a similarly dingy appearance. Fresh, clean caulk will help to brighten up fixtures. Clean the grout to give new life to tiles. Repurpose when you can. An old cabinet can become a new bathroom vanity once it’s refinished. If you want wood floors, you can use reclaimed wood from an old building, making your bathroom remodel greener. Update the lighting. New light fixtures can quickly revitalize the look of any room. Consider adding sconces on either side of the mirror, or add a lighted mirror. Choose a pre-fabricated shower. A shower that comes ready to be installed will cost much less than tiling the shower area. While tiles give you design range, an attractive pre-fabricated shower can still make a statement.  If you are remodeling the bathroom on a budget, try to focus mostly on DIY tasks. Anything you can do on you own will lower your expenses. However, keep in mind that there will be tasks you cannot handle, although they may not always be considered major changes. Putting in a new toilet for example, may require a professional, but this is still affordable for most homeowners.

Design Ideas that Will Help You Create an Amazing Custom Kitchen

By D & M Enterprises • 19 Jul, 2019
Decorating the kitchen can be an enjoying task since you have so many attractive elements to work with. These numerous elements can be a lot to handle if you are trying to get the perfect custom kitchen, but here are some ideas that will help. Embrace patterns. People often try to keep their tiles basic to avoid over designing, but there is no reason why can’t have some fun with attractive and tasteful patterns. Use tiles transitionally. If you are struggling to find ways to move between different elements and tones, use your tiles to create an attractive transition between these areas. This will help to simply your selection process. Try open shelving. If you worry that the kitchen feels crowded, open shelving might be the answer. It helps to open up the space and give it an airy feel. This is one way to make a small kitchen feel larger. Splurge on lighting. Even the most expensive lighting fixtures will not take up much of your kitchen budget. Look around for the most attractive options that add style and luxury to the kitchen. Use layered lighting to improve the look and to make the space functional. Try a darker palette. In the past, designers and homeowners alike shied away from using dark tones in the kitchen. Now it is one of the hottest trends, so don’t be afraid to go for deeper blues and grays. Even black can work in the kitchen to dramatic effect. Add a kitchen island. Some people are skipping the island in favor of open layouts, but this feature still has plenty to offer. For one thing, it can anchor the design of the space. More importantly, it can serve different purposes such as storage, a dining area and a meal prep area. Kitchen islands can also have racks attached for cookbooks and spices. Warm it with wood. Wood can work in any part of the kitchen, whether it’s the floor, countertop, or as a backsplash. The natural grain of this material comes in different shades, so you can find something for any color scheme. Over time, as it darkens, it adds even more character to the kitchen. To get an attractive custom kitchen, strive for a balance between the items you should splurge on, and the areas where you can save. Pricier features can last longer, but make sure that they are in keeping with current trends so you do not have to make changes too quickly.
