Need ideas for budget kitchen renovation

image.jpg

Looking at a cheap kitchen renovation. Been priced for a glass splash back or wondering if I get new tiles and place them myself? The kitchen cabinetry I could replace but been quoted $1000+ just for 4 draws and 4 cupboards. Can I paint this cabinetry? Or will that ruin it?

any advice or tips welcome!!

Re: Need ideas for budget kitchen renovation

Hi @BrittC,

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is wonderful to have you with us.

 

A tiled splashback is definitely a very achievable D.I.Y. project that I would encourage you to take on. We have a few handy guides, such as How To Tile a Splashback, How To Tile A Laundry Splashback and How to tile a splashback, which will show you the steps and process. You can also check out 12 kitchen and laundry splashbacks for some inspiration and ideas. If you have any other questions about the process, please don't hesitate to ask. We'll be more than happy to help.

 

Painting existing cabinetry is also something a lot of renovators do when the structure is still solid, which will give your kitchen a fresh new look without having to replace it. The Dulux Renovations Range was specifically designed for this purpose and is a great option if you'd like to paint your cabinets. Check out How to Paint Laminate Kitchen Cabinetry and Rejuvenate your cabinets with Dulux paint for some guidance, and 20 kitchens transformed with paint for some inspiration.

 

Let me know what you think and if you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

 

Jacob
