Making Your House A Home

Are you ready to renovate your kitchen, but your budget doesn't allow you to install all of the materials you like or want? If so, take the time to look into products that mimic the high end materials that you love, but only cost a fraction of the cost in comparison. This way you can still get the look that you were hoping for, but within the budget that you can afford. Here are a few materials that will look great with your kitchen update, and can be found at a low cost.

Wood Plank Ceramic Tile  

Do hardwood floors have your heart, but you can't afford to install them? Look into ceramic tile that mimics the look of hardwood flooring, but is only a fraction of the cost. These are easy to install, the ceramic can go over existing floor boards or linoleum flooring, and tile is a very robust material. The tile is resistant to staining, you don't have to worry about spills and liquids doing damage, and it's very easy to clean. Keep extra tiles around after the project, since you can replace one tile easily if needed over time, unlike wood flooring.

Solid Surface Countertops

Stone countertops like granite and marble look great, but they are very expensive to purchase and have installed. Solid surface countertops have design options to look like stone, they are stain and water resistant, and they are cost efficient and easy for homeowners to install on their own if needed. You can even get options that have a decorative edge. There are several color variations to pick from to match the updated kitchen design.

Stainless Steel Film

You can add a layer of stainless steel film to your oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, and microwave to make the appliances in your kitchen appear to be stainless steel. You don't have to invest money in new appliances, but you're still going to get the effect of having high end stainless steel units in the space. This film comes in sheets or kits for you to apply on your own.

There are many ways you can save money and get the appearance of the high end materials that you desire for your kitchen renovation, while still sticking to a price that you can afford. All of these changes are going to make the interior space look more modern and updated, which will help improve the property value of your house.
