Dreaming of a luxurious kitchen remodel but without the hefty price tag? With smart choices, careful planning, and the right renovation team, this dream is possible. Joseph Kitchen and Bath, specializing in both kitchen remodels and kitchen cabinets in Toronto, would be happy to explore with you the secrets to achieving a high-end kitchen while on a budget. From strategic planning to savvy choices, allow us to review with you how you can create a stylish and sophisticated space on a budget.
Strategic Planning
Before you begin your kitchen renovation, take time to put together a specific plan and detailed budget. The budget should cover both the materials and labour with some wiggle room. As well, you will want to prioritize key elements like cabinetry, countertops, appliances, etc. Allocate your budget effectively to achieve a high-end look and feel.
Cabinetry Upgrades
In a kitchen, the cabinets are known to be one of the most noticeable features. Therefore, we recommend using this to your advantage. In cost-effective terms, consider refacing or replacing only the doors and drawer fronts. We recommend selecting white or neutral colours to achieve a timeless and high-end look. Additionally, consider adding new hardware for an upscale look.
Cost-Conscious Countertops
While materials such as granite, quartz, or marble may be desirable, consider other options that come at a more affordable price. Evaluate budget-friendly alternatives like laminate or butcher block countertops. Laminate can mimic pricier options while providing a luxurious design and reputable durability. Butcher block countertops can also add a warm and alluring feel to any kitchen.
Lighting, Fixtures, & Accessories
Use strategic lighting choices and stylish fixtures to transform the ambiance of your kitchen. Adding a chandelier or pendant lighting can add an upscale vibe to your space while adding visual interest. Also, consider under-cabinet lighting with inexpensive LED lighting strips. In addition, we recommend adding matte black finishes for faucets and hardware for a high-end look.
Update the Backsplash
A high-end kitchen is not complete until the backsplash has been installed. Luckily for you, there are affordable options available. While expensive kitchens feature premium material backsplash made from glass or marble, you can achieve a similar look while on a budget. We recommend exploring the affordable option of subway tiles. Subway tiles are timeless and can come in a variety of colours and styles.
Flooring Solutions
Flooring options like vinyl plank or laminate can mimic the appearance of hardwood or natural stone at a fraction of the cost. While sticking to your budget, these options can provide you with both durability and style. Select a finish to your flooring that compliments the rest of the space while bringing it all together.
