The kitchen is indeed the busiest room of the house making homemakers like you want it to be warm, welcoming, and as stylish as possible. However, your budget may be limited forcing you to choose which items to update, replace, or revamp when remodeling a kitchen. To cut out some expenses, consider these 5 smart and easy ways to save money on kitchen remodeling.

1. Check the status of your appliances. Before deciding to replace all of your current appliances, take time to check each to know if there are some which you can retain. Prioritize according to their functionality status. If the appliance is in good condition then it is best to keep it. Instead of buying for new appliances, consider redesigning them to make them look new and have them complement the new kitchen design.
2. Repaint old appliances. One of the easiest ways to restyle an appliance is to repaint them. There are appliance paints which you can buy in hardware stores that allow you to choose variety of colors and finishes. You can use a metallic bright red to spray or brush on your electric kettle for your retro themed kitchen. You can also use a chalkboard paint for your large appliances like a refrigerator to make it a writable surface that allows you to write grocery lists or let your child enjoy drawing while you cook dinner.

Some manufacturers sell replacement parts which you can use to install your desired color on the appliances. There are also customize shops that can make the panels to the specification you need.
4. Peel and stick films. Personalize and add more fun in your kitchen design with different patterns and prints. You can use stainless steel films which look authentic and work best for industrial theme kitchen. There are also adhesive vinyl films which give you more option to restyle the appliances is a selection of different colors, prints, and texture to choose from.
5. Install Wood Panels. Another alternative to save money on remodeling your kitchen is with the use of wooden panels. This is practical especially for large appliances such as dishwashers and refrigerator as they are one of the most expensive appliances to buy. Install wooden panels that complement to the look of the room and hide your old appliances inside them.

Here are a few useful tips:

Always keep the kids out of the kitchen whilst cooking I know its an obvious one, but its so easy to have an accident when they are running around!

When cooking with chillies, it can be very useful to coat/ rub in your hands, a teaspoon full of ordinary cooking oil so as to form a barrier. When youve finished handling the chillies, simply wash off with soapy water.

Believe me when I tell you, that in the pats it hasnt just been my eyes that Ive accidentally touched, I once made the mistake of going to the loo that was an experience to remember, I can tell you!

Grandmas Golden Rule: Always wash your hands before cooking or touching food. She would say, soap and water dont cost much and it aint painful either!

There are a great many exciting exotic dishes that can be prepared and cooked quite easily and quickly but most importantly, can be given a new lease of life by just adding a few chillies and spices.

Bon appetite!
