My kitchen used to feel cramped and outdated I decided to tackle it myself with a limited budget I started by removing everything unnecessary to create more space Old appliances were cleaned and repainted instead of replaced which saved money
Next I updated the walls with a light neutral paint to make the area feel bigger I installed open shelving to display dishes and frequently used items The countertop was cleared and a few decorative pieces added to bring personality without clutter
Lighting made a huge difference I swapped old bulbs for warmer LED options and added a small under cabinet lamp The result was a brighter more functional kitchen
Small floor updates with peel and stick tiles brought the whole look together and even added durability without major work
Final Thoughts
Before and after transformations show that even on a small budget thoughtful planning and smart DIY updates can completely revamp a space
