Tired of the way your old, boring kitchen looks? Don’t have the big bucks in your account for kitchen renovations ballarat? Use these 5 hacks to revamp your kitchen by staying in a budget;
1. Painting your Cabinets
If your kitchen cabinets are in good, healthy shape then there is no need to spend valuable money on replacing them. You could just give them a new look by either painting them or staining the wood with a darker color. For a modern look, experts suggest painting your cabinets a darker color especially if you have a lighter floor. That way the eyes are drawn towards the top and your kitchen looks much bigger. Replacing out your old knobs and handles with contemporary hardware will also go a long way in giving it a modern, chic look.
2. Focused Lighting
Consider using pendant lights over your counter top or kitchen table to add a dramatic flair to your space. Some warm lighting will help set the mood of the whole kitchen area while also giving it an industrial café look by accentuating your hardware and hiding the flaws.
3. Replace your backsplash
This is one of the most budget-friendly ways to completely change the whole outlook of your kitchen space. You would be surprised at how much a new backsplash can do for your kitchen. Replacing old tiles seems like a difficult job, but with the right tools, it’s as easy as pie! Just make sure that whatever material you’re using for your backsplash is water and dirt resistant. If your budget doesn’t allow a new backsplash then no harm considering water-resistant paint to add dimension.
4. Adding New Curtains
Changing the curtains to match the new paint job gives a new and refreshing look to your kitchen. Your drapes or curtains could be thinly clothed to let light enter into the kitchen and give it an open and bright look. It’s always advisable to frequently change your kitchen curtains as they soak up a lot of dirt and smoke. And don’t be shy with adding a matching rug, or towels!
5.Using utensils and accessories as decorative items

Personalize your kitchen by adding picture frames on the walls, putting out colorful mugs, adding artwork and travel magnets on the fridge, placing small indoor plants and candles on the countertop along with a fruit basket and watch the space transform right in front of your eyes!
