When you\u2019re trying to budget for a kitchen remodel, you can spend different amounts of money with different results. A limited budget \u2014 one of $1,000 or so \u2014 will require a lot of work on your part; and you\u2019ll want to focus on small improvements rather than major renovations. A bigger budget \u2014 up to $10,000 or so \u2014 will allow for some work to be left to the pros; but it\u2019s still unlikely that everything in the kitchen can be renovated.<\/p>\n

Did you know that most homeowners in the U.S. reportedly spent between $18,000 and $27,000 in total project costs to remodel their kitchen<\/span><\/span><\/a>? If that sounds too steep, here is a comparison of a $1,000 kitchen remodel versus a $10,000 kitchen remodel:<\/p>\n

One thousand dollars won\u2019t go far in renovating your kitchen<\/span><\/span><\/a>. That\u2019s because professionals who work in cabinet refinishing, flooring replacement and painting\u2013to name a few\u2013will quote at least $400 to $700, which will eat up the majority of your budget. Here are some things to keep in mind:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Focus on the important areas<\/strong>: Keep elements that are in good condition \u2014 your cabinets, flooring, or countertops, for example \u2014 and focus on aspects that are in serious need of repair or updating. Maybe you need to update lime green cabinets reminiscent of the 50s; maybe you need to replace a few chipped tiles in your floor.\u00a0 You can make small changes with a big impact without spending a fortune.<\/li>\n
  2. DIY, DIY, DIY! <\/strong>You\u2019ll need to do as much of the remodel work around your kitchen as possible to stretch your budget. Watch home improvement shows and online tutorials, read books; do whatever it takes to get the know-how. But never approach doing electrical, plumbing or structural work in the kitchen yourself. These tasks are dangerous and should always be left to professionals. Try your hand at painting, laying tiles, sanding or putting in a backsplash \u2014 it\u2019s a great way to learn; and it saves you money while revitalizing your kitchen.<\/li>\n
  3. Don\u2019t do everything at the same time<\/strong>: Since you\u2019re on a limited budget and doing a lot of the work yourself, you can break the project into phases over weeks or weekends. This gives you time to rest and see how things are progressing. If you do everything at the same time, you might spend more than you\u2019d like or create a daunting mess in your kitchen. Phasing your project will make it more manageable.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
