Remodel your Kitchen for Under $1000




Give your kitchen a fresh new look that will turn heads for under $1000.

The first tip in remodeling your kitchen for under $1000 is to evaluate your current kitchen cabinets and possibly remove a few upper cabinets that could be blocking the natural light around the window areas. Another reason you may want to consider sacrificing your cabinet space is if the cabinets are blocking the view of an adjacent room; removing the cabinets will open the room up and make the space look larger and a kitchen renovation contractor can help you do this quite easily for a dramatic renovation that is not very costly.Kitchen renovation by a contractor

Secondly, consider changing the lighting in your kitchen.  Outdated fluorescent panels can be replaced with new, modern track pot lights that add sparkle and more directional lighting for your kitchen countertops. If you have a recessed box that holds the old florescent panels, consider hiring a contractor to finish the recess in your ceiling with drywall and add a dramatic recessed ceiling feature in your kitchen.

Paint your kitchen cabinets.   This is usually the easiest way to make the biggest change with the most impact on your kitchen’s look. Changing dark colours to lighter more bright colours can add a fresh clean look that will bring out more of the existing details in your kitchen.

Change your cabinetry hardware. Your kitchen cabinet hardware may be worn and grubby from the constant use over many years. Adding some simple new knobs on the handles may be all your kitchen will need, or if you choose to spend more money, your options open up to almost unlimited possibilities. Remember to pick your new kitchen hardware before you paint your kitchen cabinets as you may need some wood filler to fill in holes from the old hardware.

Follow some or all of the above tips to remodel your kitchen for under $1000 and when you are done, tell us at Contractor Quotes what you did to remodel your kitchen for under $1000 and share your ideas with thousands of others.
