Does looking at all the impeccably maintained and aesthetically correct kitchen interior designs shown in magazines and various online sources make your heart yearn for the kitchen of your dreams? You know you’ve wanted it for so long, and yet you’re still hesitant to go ahead with the project. What is stopping you from updating your kitchen interior design?
Perhaps you are still thinking about how much such a project will cost, right?
Well, it might be true that the budget required to undertake a kitchen remodeling project is a bit daunting. But did you know that there are a few ways to have the kitchen of your dreams without the skyrocketing budget requirements? Read on to find ways your kitchen can get the perfect interior design for less.
There are a few ways to create a wonderful kitchen by updating your floor plan. You might consider removing an interior wall, adopting a kitchen, or adding a pantry and/or island.
. Of course, you can physically add floor space by doing a room extension project, but this will definitely cost you a lot. Because? A room extension will require you to extend all of that plumbing, wiring, and duct work. It will require you to purchase new siding and roofing materials that match the exterior of your home. It could require expanding the home’s foundation or basement and even dealing with lot restrictions. Phew! Quite a long list, don’t you think?
For smarter solutions, look for ways to add kitchen space from the inside. Carefully consider the layout of your existing space and think about areas or features in the home you can do without or rooms you can add to add living space. For example, you might consider removing a non-load bearing interior wall. This could add valuable square footage to your kitchen for a fraction of the cost! And the savings? You can use it to update the interior design of the room!
. Galley kitchens are definitely designed for maximum efficiency! While the functionality of these kitchens is undeniably remarkable, some people may not consider adopting them largely due to their cluttered design.
To solve this small problem, you can choose to compress the cooking area to free up a small space for sitting or eating. Or perhaps you want to open up the kitchen to an adjoining dining room or living room to create a more spacious atmosphere.
. Why not consider adding large windows and skylights? These features not only give your kitchens a boost and enhance the overall interior design of the room, but also create a feeling of spaciousness without necessarily adding additional square footage.
. About the islands. Islands are very flexible interior design elements for the kitchen. They can instantly liven up the interior design of the room and increase the available work space. Hands down, islands can create a niche of their own without having to match any of the surrounding cabinets!
. Pantries galore. Cabinets are considered one of the most expensive items in a well-designed kitchen. Fortunately, panties can be installed to reduce cabinet costs! Smart functional pantries can be designed to provide efficient storage space and often come with one simple requirement: plenty of inexpensive shelving!
Considered a definite cost saver, a single closet-sized pantry can often take on the work of an entire wall of cabinets. Plus, you can save the cost needed to install the countertops, backsplashes, and accompanying cabinet hinges and knobs! And again, you can use the savings to purchase other items that can improve the functionality and interior design of your kitchen!
