Perhaps the style has gone out of fashion or you just want to give the space a new look. You probably have the idea that renovating the kitchen will be a huge expense and you're doubting whether it's worth it.
Don't give up, because you don't always have to replace the tiles and cupboards with brand new ones. Here are some ideas of what you can do for less than 1,000 euros.
Painting tiles and renovating the kitchen floor
It's a quick, simple and inexpensive way to say goodbye to those tiles that stopped being a trend years ago. If you don't want to do any work or spend a lot, paint them. If the kitchen is small, you'll still keep part of the 1,000 euros. What to do with what's left? If possible, lay vinyl flooring on the old floor. With these two changes, the kitchen will look completely different.
Kitchen cabinets almost as good as new
No, we're not talking about changing them, but giving them a second life. You can achieve this in two ways, as long as they are in good condition. The first is to paint or varnish them. The second is to replace only the fronts (doors and drawers). If you have money left over, you could also change the handles.
Changing the kitchen worktop
The kitchen worktop is one of the elements that suffers most in this room and is also an integral part of its style. You can choose from a multitude of materials, but with that 1,000 euros you could perhaps venture into choosing granite or quartz, in a simple model, as long as the kitchen doesn't have an infinity worktop, of course.
If you choose a more affordable material, such as wood or laminate, you'll have money to change a few more things.
Open up the kitchen to the living room
If your living room and kitchen are connected, a cheaper idea than you might think is to remove the partition. The room will become brighter and more spacious. It will be a new kitchen without changing almost anything.
Make a small office in the kitchen
Unless your kitchen is really small, you could try creating a small office. It's not just a question of putting in a stylish table and chairs, but of making a special corner. What we suggest is changing the walls in this corner to differentiate the spaces - you can do this by putting up vinyl panels or wallpaper.
On the floor, a nice rug will suffice. If the kitchen is too small, change the table and chairs, for example - and you'll have a new space.
Small changes that make a difference
Now we're talking about small improvements which, when added up, won't cost more than 1,000 euros and which will also make the kitchen look different. You can replace the old sink and faucet with more modern ones. And you can also renew the textiles or add some decorative and functional element, such as LED light strips.
