Having a modern kitchen is crucial in resale value, with the addition of new floors, cleaned up or new cabinets, up-to-date appliances and a modern backsplash these are all key components of a valuable kitchen. Not only will you make money by staying up to date with these things, but you’ll also enjoy the opportunity to cook in a gorgeous place.
Home-Dzine shares a few ways on how to renovate, while keeping the costs down as much as possible.
Don’t move drainage and sink
The largest part of your savings will come with smart planning. Things to plan around are your plumbing and drainage. Moving any of these are extremely expensive and you can almost always work around them. It can cost R2, 000 or more just to change the location of a sink. If you’re unhappy with the layout of your kitchen, consider at least keeping the appliances in the same spots and changing how the kitchen flows with a bar or island.
Be creative with your layout so you don’t spend a small fortune on moving pipes and wires. Or simply look at installing a new sink - there are some absolutely stunning designs available.
