When budget-friendly kitchen remodel projects are on the agenda and you only have $500, consider these simple ideas to give your kitchen a fresh, modern, and updated appearance.

Sink and Faucets

Depending on the brand and size it’s possible to replace the sink and stay within budget. If you shop around for the best prices, you may have enough money left over to replace the faucets.

Cabinets and Hardware

Cabinets play a significant role in creating a theme. Over time, they tend to lose their freshness. Two things to do; if the exterior looks drab, adding a coat of paint brings them back to life. If the exterior still looks good, just update their appearance with new cabinet doors and drawer hardware.

Paint Refresh

A fresh coat of paint goes a long way in refreshing a kitchen. Cost depends on the square footage being painted, gallons needed, the brand of paint (store brand versus name brand), and type (flat, semi-gloss, paint and primer).

Lighting

Consider a new light fixture or the installation of recessed lights. A new light fixture brightens the room and may provide more lighting than the existing fixture. Recessed lighting is soft and warm while creating direct and functional lighting.

Flooring

Update the floor by removing the old and replacing with a new covering of vinyl, laminate, or bamboo. Each material has a low-end and high-end price range and numerous styles.

Backsplash

Highlight the area behind the sink with backsplash tiles that serve as a complement to the wall paint or a useful kitchen accessory. Cost will depend on the type of backsplash, the chosen material, and the size of the wall space being remodeled.
