\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Redoing your countertops is an expensive prospect. Granite and quartz are popular \u2013 but though they\u2019re durable and gorgeous, they\u2019re very expensive. Granite countertops\u00a0range from $45-$200\/sq. ft for installation, and quartz usually ranges from\u00a0$70-$100\/sq. ft.<\/p>\n Butcher blocks are a great alternative to laminate countertops. Laminate is cheap, but not very durable, and often unsightly. Butcher blocks often cost as little as $40\/sq. ft., which is only a little more than the\u00a0cost of a laminate counter.<\/p>\n Hardwood butcher block countertops can add a rustic flair to your home, and they\u2019ll last for decades with proper care, making them a great investment.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Knocking down a wall between your kitchen and your living space is a fantastic way to open up your floor plan, and create a more spacious, inviting kitchen.<\/p>\n Of course, not everyone will be able to open up their kitchen in this way. However, doing so is well-worth it if the layout of your home allows for it. Your kitchen will feel more airy, and the flow of your home will be greatly improved.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n If you have a smaller kitchen, a coat of paint may be all you need to make it feel larger and more spacious.<\/p>\n Because they reflect more visible light,\u00a0lightly-colored walls make rooms feel bigger. If you\u2019ve got a smaller kitchen with dark walls, a simple paint job can make it feel much more spacious.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Tile flooring is functional and durable, especially in kitchens. But over time, grout tends to break down, and tiles may break. If you\u2019ve got a worn-out tile floor, it\u2019s time to replace it.<\/p>\n Hardwood is a fantastic choice for a kitchen floor, if it\u2019s in your price range. Hardwood usually costs about\u00a0$20 per square foot, including installation. But if you\u2019re on a budget, a brand-new tile floor may be the right choice for you \u2013 tile can cost as little as\u00a0$1 per square foot, with an additional $4-$5\/sq. ft. for installation costs.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Replacing your cabinets can easily cost you up to $10,000 or more. While it\u2019s worth the investment, it\u2019s out of most people\u2019s budget when it comes to kitchen remodeling.<\/p>\n So, instead of replacing your cabinets, consider a fresh coat of paint, and replacing the hinges and hardware to make them look brand-new! You can also consider cabinet refinishing \u2013 replacing the doors and hardware of your cabinets with brand-new replacements.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n A beautiful tile backsplash can really bring your kitchen together. Best of all, it\u2019s an easy DIY project.\u00a0With just a few tools\u00a0from your local home improvement store, you can add a custom-made tile backsplash to your kitchen that will help it feel more unique and personal.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Start Thinking About Your Kitchen Renovation \u2013 With These Great Ideas!<\/strong><\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re interested in a simple DIY kitchen renovation, or partnering with Rare Renovations to restore your home, these ideas are sure to get you thinking about your renovation project.<\/p>\n So take another look at these ideas now, and think about how you can incorporate them into your home renovations in 2018!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The kitchen is truly the heart of the home \u2013 which is probably why so many people choose to remodel…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":343,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/renovationsmart.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/renovationsmart.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/renovationsmart.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renovationsmart.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renovationsmart.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=340"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/renovationsmart.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renovationsmart.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/343"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/renovationsmart.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=340"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renovationsmart.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=340"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renovationsmart.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
