Upgrade Cabinets

New cabinets could cost you several thousands of dollars. Not only will you have to pay for demolition, but you will also have to pay for the cabinets and the installation costs. If you can dismantle your current cabinets carefully, you may be able to make up for some of the money by selling them on an online marketplace or a garage sale.

But whether you recoup costs or not, new cabinets can be quite pricey. 

If that’s not within your budget, another idea could be to tweak your existing cabinets instead of replacing them entirely. You’d be surprised how something as simple as switching the cabinet hardware can modernize the whole kitchen. If they need more of an overhaul, you may want to paint your kitchen cabinets a new shade for a fraction of the price of new ones.
