Brisbane Kitchen Renovations are common. Many homeowners renovate their kitchens each year. Kitchen renovations are not cheap. They are far from cheap.
According to Houzz’s 2017 Kitchen Trends Survey 23% of homeowners have spent more than $40,000 on their kitchen renovation. 38% spent between $20,000-$40,000. The remaining 39% spend up to $20,000. Even though $20K may seem like a lot, there are ways to save thousands of dollars by completing a cheap renovation. It’s not difficult to do.
As head of purchasing for Kitchen suppliers I meet many customers who are looking to do a budget kitchen renovation. I always give the same advice: Don’t start from scratch by tearing down a kitchen. Keep the existing kitchen but give it a makeover. You should do the same if you want to keep your renovation costs low.
How can you give your kitchen a new look on a tight budget? There are several hacks you can use to achieve a budget-friendly kitchen renovation. I’ll list some hacks that will help you renovate your home on a budget.
1. Replace the doors on your cabinets to give them a new look
You can give your cabinets a new look instead of redoing the entire kitchen. You don’t have to replace your cabinetry. Just change the doors and rearrange your base cupboards to give your kitchen an entirely new look. If you’re considering a kitchen benchtop replacement in Brisbane, this can be an excellent opportunity to enhance the overall aesthetics and functionality of your space.
You’ll be able to find a lot of cabinets within your budget. However, keep in mind that the cabinetry you choose can make or ruin your kitchen. You should choose your new cabinetry carefully.
Consider the overall design of your kitchen when replacing your base cabinets. You can then decide which cabinets are best for your kitchen. As a tip, if you are only looking to replace doors, avoid choosing fancy ones with complex designs. They will make your kitchen look cluttered and busy. Choose something simple that will compliment the rest of your kitchen.
Our cabinetry is priced from $220 upwards and comes in a variety of shapes and styles to meet your requirements. We offer new wall and base cabinets that will help you achieve a budget-friendly kitchen renovation.
2. Remove the doors from wall cabinets and paint the interior to create open shelving.
It is expensive to buy new wall cabinets or cabinetry. You can save money by painting the interior of existing wall cabinets instead of buying new ones. It may seem simple, but this is a great way to maximize your cabinets. If you want to upgrade your cabinets to glass, you will need to begin with open shelves.
Open shelves will give your kitchen a much bigger appearance. Paint colours can also give the kitchen a smooth and luxurious look. Wallpaper can be used on the exterior of cupboards to give your kitchen a touch of character.
It is easy to create open shelves. You can do this yourself. Be sure to remove the hinges from the bottom to the top. Fill in all screwholes with putty. Choose a color and paint the interiors. This is much easier than other renovations and shouldn’t cause you any issues.
3. Add a splashback wall or feature wall
A splashback or feature wall can be used to transform a kitchen. It is easy and quick to install a splashback or feature wall, plus it’s very affordable. Splashbacks or feature walls are a great way to highlight a particular area in your kitchen, without having to completely redecorate.
Wallpaper was traditionally used to create feature wall. Tiles are becoming a popular choice for splashbacks, feature walls and other surfaces. Modern tiles come in a variety of colours, styles and designs, so you are sure to find one that suits your taste. Glazed tiles protect your walls against any splashes or spills. You can arrange splashback and feature tiles horizontally or vertically to achieve the look you want.
Kitchen suppliers stocks a wide range of mosaic tiles, subway tiles, and feature tiles, starting at just $10 per square metre. You can find the tiles you want in a variety of sizes, colours and shapes. They are also very affordable. Kitchen suppliers offers the best value for money when it comes to kitchen splashback tiles!
4. Replace your benchtop
Many people believe that replacing the kitchen benchtop can be a big project and very costly. This is not true. It is much easier and cheaper to replace a benchtop than people realize. For a few hundred dollars you can buy a new kitchen benchtop that will add some freshness and color to the most dull of kitchens.
Stone benchtops, and laminate benchtops, are the most popular types of benchtops. The most popular benchtop is stone, which is slightly more expensive. If you look around, however, you may be able to find stone benchtops at a reasonable price.
Kitchen suppliers is a great place to find affordable stone (and Laminate) benchtops.
They are made to the highest quality standards and are extremely resistant to cracking or breaking. They are also available in different colours and styles to match your tastes.
Note that each benchtop we sell is made to order, according to the specifications of our customers. Please contact us or come to our store and tell us your exact requirements if you want to know the price of one of our benches.
5. Install new flooring
New flooring will transform the look and feel of your kitchen. Be aware that it can be expensive to replace flooring, so only do it if necessary.
If you are looking for cost-effective flooring options, vinyl, laminate and hybrid tiles are good choices. They are available in many styles and designs, and are highly durable and versatile. These are ideal for areas with heavy foot traffic, such as in the kitchen.
Tiles are a better option than vinyl or laminate for a budget-friendly kitchen renovation. They may cost a bit more, but they are worth it in the end. You’ll also find that tiles come in more styles, colours and designs than vinyl or laminate.

Choose from mixer taps, curved spouts, and taps that have fully retractable hoses. Addition of new tapware to your kitchen can improve its functionality and modern appearance for only $49.00.
