How to revamp a kitchen

The style of a kitchen , like any other room, can sometimes be boring. Furniture ages, turns yellow, electrical appliances become obsolete and space becomes scarce as you develop your culinary skills. Sometimes the central room of the house, the kitchen

In short, there are many reasons to embark on a kitchen decoration project. The scale of the latter of course depends on the allocated budget. In any case, it is very difficult to think of a new decoration without being able to plan concretely. It’s hard to imagine if a set of decorative objects would make a harmonious decoration.

Fortunately, we have the solution! With HomeByMe, use a large catalog of products from major brands (and generics if you keep specific decorative objects) to test ideas as much as you want.

Once the project has been validated, go to the store with the list of products.

1. Makeover a rustic kitchen: focus on painting the cupboards

A few brush strokes for maximum effect! We often have the reflex of wanting to change the furniture for new ones. With prices ever higher, it’s better to think twice before walking through the door of a kitchen designer. In addition, a lick of paint suitable for splashbacks and cupboards is a very quick and easy home staging element to implement.

Whether for your personal use or for clients, it is often difficult to see beyond the wear and tear.

Another small budget saving: changing the furniture handles. It’s the little detail that changes everything! Modern , vintage, discreet or even non-existent (with a pressure system), it can considerably change he appearance of the room.

In short, we keep the structure and with a few brushstrokes and turns of screws, we breathe new life into a kitchen.

Create the existing kitchen with the right measurements in just a few clicks, then try several colors, change the handles… Everything is possible!

2. Repaint the kitchen splashback

Don’t stop there with your brushes. It is certain that the splashback wears out and goes out of style, while costing a certain amount of money.

Here, same solution: repaint! Be careful to use suitable paint, capable of resisting water and heat. This will allow you to give free rein to your imagination for a perfect furniture and kitchen splashback combination.

3. Change the kitchen worktop

Perhaps the most considerable expense, but nevertheless the worktop remains the essential part of a kitchen , not to be neglected. For small budgets, we will abandon marble and stone in favor of wood or laminate. The latter requires little maintenance, while the wood will need to be varnished every year. This choice will be made according to everyone’s desires, tastes and above all lifestyles.

If the work doesn’t scare you, completely change the worktop according to the style you like. For a rustic, bohemian, vintage or even seaside kitchen, opt for wood or laminate. For a more contemporary or minimalist style, opt for more mineral materials such as marble or stone.

This element should not be neglected, as it will not only enhance the aesthetics of the room, but also its ergonomics. Once again, lose yourself in the countless choices made available in the planner.

4. Which floor for a kitchen?

Finally, if the kitchen is open to the living room , the challenge of choosing a trendy floor is all the more important… And to match the style of the living room. A different floor will help divide the spaces, ideal when the kitchen is semi-open, however, for an impression of grandeur, opt for the same floor over the entire room.

5. Optimize your storage

We can never say it enough: a tidy room is necessary for successful decoration . A place for everything, hide foodstuffs and only highlight aesthetic utensils. It can make all the difference. Free the worktop from superfluous accessories, dress the walls instead. For a bohemian or rustic style, adopt wooden shelves which will be used to display your decorative accessories, hanging plants or your most beautiful crockery, for a more contemporary or minimalist style, dress the walls with storage reaching up to the ceiling.
