Kitchen renovations usually cost the most money (compared to other rooms), and this is not surprising, because the kitchen furniture, materials for the apron, countertops and other “accessories” are not cheap.
However, if you want to save a little, but don’t want to deprive yourself of a beautiful and stylish kitchen, you should use things that our subconscious considers expensive, even though in fact this is not the case.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti and designer, explained how to achieve this effect.
Single table top
Even the simplest modular kitchen will benefit from an improved appearance if you pair it with a single countertop. It will be even better if you manage to buy a countertop with an interesting shade or texture, for example, natural or made to look like concrete or stone.
Stylish fittings
Kitchen furniture accessories set the mood for the entire environment. Even if it seems to you that no one pays attention to them, believe me – this detail always catches the eye.
Most often, budget headsets are “equipped” with handles that are not of high quality, so it is worth replacing them with more stylish and sophisticated ones.
It is important to remember that if the holes for the handles have already been drilled, you will need to measure the distance between them before purchasing new ones.
Expensive sink and faucet
Budget sinks and faucets may not be the most reliable and durable elements of your kitchen. By saving on their purchase, you will most likely face the need for repairs or replacement in the future, which can cost two or three times more than the original cost.
Moreover, by using cheap plumbing, you risk flooding and damaging both your property and your neighbors.
Finally, budget faucets and sinks spoil the appearance of the kitchen, making it less attractive and neat. Instead, it is more reasonable to invest in high-quality and stylish options that can become a real decoration of the interior and a reason for pride.
