How to renovate your kitchen for less
Renovating your kitchen can be one of the most expensive undertakings you ’ ll face when updating your home . Kitchens themselves aren ’ t cheap and add to the mix appliances , labor and flooring and your budget will need to be sizeable at best .
However , there are ways you can renovate your kitchen for much less without compromising on the finish or the final look . I ’ m Looeeze Grossman , founder of The Used Kitchen Company and here are my top six ways to renovate your kitchen for less .
1 . Sell your existing kitchen
One of the easiest ways to save on your kitchen renovation is to make some cash towards it by selling your existing kitchen . The average kitchen only lives out half of its life expectancy , so this is a great way to not only make some money to put towards your renovation but to also prevent one to two tons of kitchen waste from ending up in landfill . I guess the question should be , can you afford not to sell your existing kitchen ?
If your kitchen units are damaged or just too old , then look at how you can upcycle the parts that aren ’ t such as handles or internals .
