Kitchen Renovation: Prioritize the Most Important to the Least

Every homemaker would love and want their kitchen to be comfortable. Others would want a well equipped kitchen with all the modern amenities, equipments, counter tops, cabinetry or lighting. Most homemakers do have some innovative ideas but not all are lucky to have the budget which deters them from making the move and go on with planning a kitchen renovation.

Kitchen renovation is probably the most frequent and popular home renovation. It is a very appealing project especially to those who spend much of their time in the kitchen. So how do you go about your planned kitchen renovation while keeping the costs in check? Whilst it wouldn’t be easy to tackle kitchen renovation ideas on a budget, it would probably be helpful if you can be handy enough to do the work yourself or with the help of some family members. All you need to do is to prioritize and identify the changes that you feel should be done first. The method of how to do these changes should also depend on your lifestyle and budget. Make a list of all the changes that you think are needed in the kitchen and prioritize from the most important to the least. Start making these changes when you have the money and do it in order of importance.

In most kitchens, we often find leaking faucets due to the wear and tear of everyday use. A new faucet may not be the focal point of your kitchen but choosing the right one that matches and complements your existing kitchen design and color, at least you’ve made a head start in doing the first step of your kitchen renovation.

Choose from the ones below which you think matches your budget and lifestyle;

Brass – it has been around since the nineteenth century but is still popular. Gives that traditional look. It should be treated with a coat finish before installation to avoid tarnishing. Needs to be polished frequently to keep brass shiny.

Chrome – One of the most durable and affordable faucet materials available on the market. Made of solid brass plated with chromium and while it has a tarnish-resistant finish it will still require frequent polishing to keep it shiny.

Enameled Plastic – ideal for those who want a colored faucet instead of a metal finish. Enameled faucets are usually installed to match other appliances. They are very affordable. Downside is they chip and scratch easier than faucets made from metal materials.

Nickel – this type is very similar to chrome. Nickel has a wide variety of finishes, from high shine to matte. Brushed nickel remains to be a favorite because it is a low-maintenance finish and conceals scratches and stains.

Stainless Steel – One of the best-selling types of faucets is stainless steel. Stainless steel is another metal finish that has a shiny silver finish and is durable yet very reasonably priced. Select one that has been chemically treated to prevent stainless steel faucet from taking on a bronze-y tint.

Replacing your faucets is just one of the many tasks involved in any kitchen renovation.
