Doing a full kitchen remodel can be an expensive undertaking. So much goes into the design and renovation process, and all those steps can add up quickly. But with some tricks of the trade, you can save yourself thousands of dollars (and loads of headaches). You just need to know where exactly money can be saved.
It’s important to allocate your expenses wisely. This video suggests spending more money on components like tile and appliances and going for more budget-friendly options for things like cabinets. This is because tile and appliances are “bigger ticket” items and will add to your home’s resale value much more than something like a cabinet would. For this reason, this video suggests checking out an affordable store like IKEA for your cabinet needs.
It’s also crucial to consider what is and isn’t absolutely necessary in a kitchen. For example, you may love the look of upper cabinets, but do you know they cost significantly more than base cabinets? You can save a huge chunk of money by opting for a small pantry instead of upper cabinets. This pantry will hold three to four times the amount of items that the upper cabinets can hold, all at a delightfully reduced price.
