Three Fast Kitchen Fixes for Under $100

You can make some pretty major changes to your kitchen while only spending a little bit of money. Learn about three fast kitchen fixes for under $100 in this HGTV video:

1. Paint Cabinets Bold

Cabinets can take up some major real estate in your kitchen, but if they’re tired and dated, they can be hard to live with. If they’re functioning well, and you love your layout, the good news is all you need to do is paint them. Give your cabinets a whole new look by painting them with a rich, bold color.

To make sure that new paint adheres correctly, be sure to give the old finish a deep clean to strip away any built-up oil and grime. Then go with an oil-based paint and primer so the new finish will hold up well over time. After all, it’s a lot easier to paint an eyesore than live through and pay for a kitchen reno.

2. Upgrade Hardware

If your cabinets only need a minor face lift, swap out the old, outdated hardware. This is a cost effective way to give your cabinets a new, fresh look. With so many stules and finishes available, you’re sure to find an option that complements your kitchen’s overall look, and all you need is a screwdriver to do it. It doesn’t get any easier than that.

3. Add Floating Shelves

You can never have enough kitchen storage. Adding floating shelves will give your kitchen a stylish yet functional update. Paint them to match your cabinet color for a chic, cohesive look. Consider grouping several shelves together to draw the eye up, which can create the illusion of higher ceilings.
