If budget is a concern, painting your kitchen cabinets is always a more economic option to giving your kitchen the facelift you’re looking for. The average size kitchen can be painted for around $5,000. Doing this along with new hardware, countertops and backsplash can really transform your kitchen giving it a more up to date look without breaking the bank.

Complement your painted cabinets with a new countertop, especially of a higher quality also adds to the overall look. However, keep in mind, you may not get the same visual impact you get with new cabinetry. You have the added benefit of being able to change up the configuration and improve the overall visual appeal and usability of your kitchen.
