Creating an open and inviting kitchen can seem like a daunting task— especially if you’re on a tight budget.

Have fun with accessories and small details
The cost of remodeling an apartment kitchen can be drastically reduced by thinking about what you need and what you don’t. For example, if you have good cabinets but they’re outdated, consider repainting them in a country style or pastel color or adding new hardware. This will save you money on buying new cabinets and also add character and personality to your space. You could also add things like baskets or bins to corral items as well as spice racks, jars for storing pasta noodles, clear containers for cereal boxes, or even chalkboard paint on the backsplash for labeling foods. These smaller details will make your kitchen feel more at home without breaking your budget!
DIY some things yourself
There are many ways to create a country style kitchen without breaking the bank, such as replacing your current kitchen cabinets with apartment kitchen cabinets. This is an inexpensive way to update your look and make it feel more like home. If you’re not handy enough to DIY this project, there are tons of companies that offer affordable cabinet installation services that will do the work for you. You could also go for simple paint color updates by painting your walls white or going for a light blue hue on one wall or all four walls (looks great in open spaces). Painting can give your space a fresh new feel in just one weekend!
Use interesting textures
The kitchen is one of the rooms in your home that you have an opportunity to personalize. I love adding texture and rustic charm with reclaimed wood, faux finishes, and rich colors. Here are some of my favorite ways to create a country style kitchen on a budget:
Use unfinished wood countertops for a custom look
Add round butcher block islands with metal legs for an industrial feel
Repurpose vintage signs or old doors as backsplashes
Paint all of your cabinets blue!
Go neutral with paint colours and flooring
First, paint your walls and trim a neutral color. I like Benjamin Moore’s Simply White for that bright white look. If you have dark cabinets, go with an off-white shade of paint. It will create more contrast and make your kitchen seem brighter. Next, buy inexpensive white or light grey laminate flooring and put down some area rugs in order to give your kitchen a cozy feel. The last thing you want is for your new country style kitchen to be too stark or cold!
Get creative with lighting
Lighting is important for every room, but it’s especially important for kitchens. It can change the entire atmosphere of a space and set the tone for any activity that takes place there. One great way to get more light into your kitchen is with pendant lights. Pendant lights are relatively inexpensive and easy to install, which means you can have one over your stove, one over your sink, and one in your breakfast nook all at once!
