Amazing Kitchen Remodeling Tips Even with a Small Budget
Kitchen Remodeling Aug 15
Your limited budget should not prevent you from a kitchen remodeling project in your house in Utica. If your space already feels outdated, you can perform several tasks to improve it without having to spend a fortune. You can easily add style and design via an affordable combination of traditional and modern upgrades. To help you out, here are some tips to keep in mind.
1. Add some light
A simple way to improve this area is to brighten it up. You do not need to spend a lot in doing this because you can simply change the light bulbs to LED ones — which are actually more affordable to maintain in the long run. Another way to add more light is to keep the windows open to let in natural light. You can simply tie the curtains on the sides, which does not require any additional costs. To add style while brightening up the space, you can install mini-pendants and under-cabinet lighting, which may require some money but it is an inexpensive upgrade.
2. Put your refrigerator in a frame
A good way to highlight the amazing looks of your refrigerator is to put it in a frame. You can do this by adding wooden planks around it to create a nice and clean profile. In a way, adding a frame creates a high-end vibe to your refrigerator. This is not that expensive to do and with the right plank choice, this can bring the appearance of your appliance to a level higher.
3. Change the sink
If you have been living in the same house for years, it might be time to replace the sink with a new one. The worn-out old sink is not only difficult to use and unappealing to look at but it can also be a health hazard. Installing a stainless-steel sink can instantly improve the appeal of your kitchen. You can also opt to have a single-handle faucet that does not only add style due to its look but also improves functionality because you can just easily pull it down when washing dishes and rinsing them.
4. Allocate an area for breakfast
If you have extra space that is neglected, you might want to transform it into a breakfast nook. You do not need to eat your meals all the time in the dining room. Moreover, breakfast is often eaten in a jiffy so it might help you have a breakfast nook right in the area where you prepare food. It is not that expensive to create this area. You can simple install a bargain table and some chairs, add some plush throw pillows, open up the windows, and you already have an amazing area for breakfast.

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.
Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen
We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.
We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.
We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
