Do you want new countertops, but don’t want them to take up your entire budget (and then some)? Laminate countertops are the answer. They’re ultra-durable, super easy to clean, and come in a variety of styles such as marble, steel, and wood. Yes, they’re made of plastic and particleboard; however, they’ve proven to stay in their best shape for years to come.
Here are just some perks of laminate countertops!
-
Closely resemble real stone, steel, wood, etc.
-
Achieve a high style at half the cost
-
More impact-resistant than stone
Most home improvement shops sell laminate countertops, so take the chance and explore this affordable option.

Update your Faucets

If an entire new sink is too much, you can give your kitchen a surprisingly effective facelift with some new faucets.
From a trendy spring-spout faucet to a traditional pull-out faucet, changing out your faucets can go a long way with little work.
Plus, they are an affordable change and are easy to install, making this an excellent afternoon DIY project that won’t break the bank.

Skip the Tile
Skip the Tile
Most people want tile in their home, but it takes a long time to install and maintenance can be a pain. Tile owners fight a constant battle with cracks and mold, making daily cleaning a long term project with no end.
Save yourself the money and time by opting for vinyl or linoleum. Vinyl is super durable and reduces noise, while linoleum is antibacterial and temperature resistant (to keep your feet from freezing on cold mornings). Can your tile do all that?
It’s time for a kitchen remodel, but there’s no need to rip your home (or your bank account) apart. Instead, choose one of our tips to renovate on a budget and enjoy a new look for less.
