Salvage What You Can
If you want a new look in your kitchen, yet funds are limited then it is a great idea to keep whatever you can.

For example, if your cabinets are in good shape yet need a change try adding new hardware or perhaps a coat of paint. Or maybe your kitchen is simply bland and boring; you can easily spice up your kitchen by using the existing platform and adding a coat of paint and new accessories and rugs that coordinate.
Cabinet Resurfacing
One way that you can give your kitchen the facelift that it needs without spending a ton of money is by choosing to have your existing cabinets resurfaced. Instead of spending money on new cabinets because you simply don’t like your old ones, consider breathing new life into them by resurfacing them in the finish of your choice. Not only is this going to be a lot cheaper, it will also allow you a level of customization now found when choosing premade cabinets.
Add Storage
A good way to make a difference in your kitchen is to remove unnecessary items and create ample storage space in your kitchen. This will help you to keep your kitchen clean because everything will have a specific place to go. Replace your current clutter with coordinated glass canisters to hold kitchen essentials; or, install floating shelves with color coordinating storage baskets.
Reuse & Repurpose
If you want to decorate your kitchen on a budget, consider looking around your house, in the attic or basement to find items that are not being used. Perhaps you have a piece of furniture not being utilized that you could repurpose for your kitchen storage needs. Or, if you want to accessorize your kitchen for cheap, consider looking at your local thrift store or garage sales.
