We\u2019re talking bulky appliances, overflowing utensil pots, groceries, glassware and more. You don\u2019t have to throw them out, but rather simply put them away in a cupboard so they\u2019re out of sight when viewings and open houses are taking place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Install new splashbacks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Splashbacks are an integral feature of modern kitchen design, protecting kitchen walls from everyday spills and splashes while also delivering a stylish design feature.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For homeowners on a tight budget, installing a new splashback could be a quick, affordable way to give this culinary space a fresh, modern update \u2013 assuming the rest of the kitchen is in good condition, that is.<br \/>\nFrom a material point of view, you have plenty of options \u2013 patterned tiles, plain tiles, tempered glass, stainless steel and more. Just make sure you choose a finish that complements your existing scheme and has mass appeal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Update the cabinets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A brand-new kitchen can set you back at least $8,000 \u2013 making this an unrealistic option for many sellers, as there\u2019s no guarantee you\u2019ll get a worthwhile return on your investment. So, what are your other options?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Well, one handy trick is to update your kitchen cabinets with a stylish vinyl film wrap cover. Made from robust, durable vinyl, it\u2019s a quick, non-disruptive and cost-effective way to give your kitchen a complete reskin in a choice of various finishes and designs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">From solid colors to wood-effect and marble options, whichever design you choose, the end result will be a chic, contemporary kitchen at a fraction of the cost of a full-scale kitchen refit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Apply a fresh coat of paint<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Repainting your kitchen may feel like a hassle at the time, but it\u2019s important never to underestimate the power of a fresh coat of paint.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Not only will paint cover up those dirty prints and marks, but it can also brighten up a room \u2013 making a space instantly feel fresher and more inviting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To maximize the power of paint in your kitchen, we\u2019d suggest opting for a pale, neutral shade such as white, cream or pale beige. These shades have an evergreen, universal appeal \u2013 plus, they can be paired with a huge choice of other complementary accent colors to bring some welcome character to the space.<br \/>\nIf you can\u2019t resist a little color in your cooking space, or you want to add a little personality with a colored feature wall, try to stick to a tone that works with the rest of your decor and doesn\u2019t overwhelm the space.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Replace kitchen hardware and accessories<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When it comes to kitchen updates, they don\u2019t always need to take the form of large-scale refurbishments. Sometimes, the smaller details can be equally as impactful.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is definitely the case when it comes to your kitchen hardware and accessories. Making a few low-cost yet considered replacements and upgrades can go a long way towards giving your kitchen a high-end, contemporary feel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Start with your cabinetry and replace old door handles with new designs \u2013 this can even extend to other fixtures like light fittings and faucets if you have the budget.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For accessories, swap out mismatched old food containers, utensils and dish cloths with new alternatives that don\u2019t cost the earth. For a chic, cohesive look buyers will love, we\u2019d suggest picking an accent color and design theme \u2013 making sure all of your accessories are coordinated, of course.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Getting your home sale-ready does require some effort on your part, but it doesn\u2019t have to mean spending a huge amount of money or time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With these simple, pocket-friendly kitchen updates, you can spruce up the heart of your home at minimal cost and create an attractive kitchen space that buyers won\u2019t be able to resist.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.coldwellbanker.com\/5-budget-kitchen-updates-to-help-you-sell-your-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">5 Budget Kitchen Updates to Help You Sell Your Home<\/a> by Sam Shalom | CB Blue Matter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to selling your home for the best possible price, how you present the space matters.
