If you want to start a remodeling project but don't have a lot of money to put toward it, consider a few tips that will give you the kitchen or the bathroom that you desire without spending a lot of money. You can get a quote today from one of the many contractors who specialize in renovations on a budget so that you aren't doing all of the work on your own.

When it comes to the cabinets, paint them instead of replacing them. This will be less expensive, and if you use the right color, then it can give the room an open and airy look. Consider using a color that is on the opposite end of the color spectrum than what you have now, such as white if the cabinets you have now are brown. Another option is to completely remove the cabinets and use an open shelf system. This will allow you to display dishes and other decorations so that they can be seen instead of hidden. It also takes away from some of the clutter that is seen with large cabinets in the room.

If you find that the bathroom is a bit on the embarrassing side, especially if it seems closed off from the rest of the house, consider adding stripes to the wall. This will give depth as well as a design that you usually don't find in other bathrooms. The stripes should be the same color as the rest of the paint on the wall, but you should use a shade that is lighter. Horizontal stripes look best as they can distract from the small space. Avoid using vertical stripes as they can often make it harder to adjust the eyes from one area of the room to another.

Search online for furnishings that people are getting rid of at low prices. This can save a lot of money when it comes to the remodeling project. Some contractors will even install the larger furnishings that you find, such as cabinets and sinks. You can often find the smaller decorations that complete the room online for a low price.
