43 Kitchen Upgrades That Won't Break The Bank
A set of under-cabinet lights to bring a modern touch to any outdated cabinets that you wish you could replace. This'll instantly make your kitchen look *so* expensive. And a SnapPower GuideLight will optimize your regular old outlets instead of a night-light that you have to plug into an outlet that you always have to unplug the coffee grinder or do other tasks. A bottle of plant-based stainless steel cleaner and polish spray (that comes with a microfiber cloth) for a low-lift transformation. You lucked out with stainless steel-appliances in place — which so happen to be $$$. Their upkeep shouldn't be! A stackable can rack to help your pantry look like a grocery store of staples so you don't accidentally buy another can of condensed cream of mushroom soup next time you get the itch for some green bean casserole. A set of adjustable mug organizers can help you better use your kitchen cabinet space *and* safely nestle in every single last one of your novelty mugs. Go ahead and *safely* stack the Golden Girls on top of Jason Voorhees without returning to a horror-like scene! A Cerama Bryte cooktop cleaning kit so you can finally get rid of the gunk that seemed like it would never come off of your stove you've been avoiding eye contact with for the past six years. Some stove burner covers to help you catch the mess right away on gas stovetops. Or just cover up some chipped or sorry-looking stovetops. (I live in a rental with a white gas stove top that def has some unsightly chips on it, so I can relate!) Plus, a small but mighty bottle of Rust-Oleum epoxy appliance touch-up paint that'll touch up little chips that just POP out at you. I've used this on my rental kitchen's stovetop and fridge for a convincing (but not exact) match. A magnetic stove shelf with the *perfect* amount of room to keep your most-used spices so you don't have to go digging in your cabinet while the oil is literally poppin' on your stove top. Some wood polish and conditioner that'll revive worn-out wood surfaces like cabinets and floors. Those cabinets may have decades of wear and tear but they don't have to *look* it. A wood scratch cover will hide all those dings and scrapes on the original trim and doors that've been around longer than you, and have SEEN some things. If only the people using your kitchen in the '50s knew about air fryers. A set of wood repair markers can hide smaller scratches. (I used some of these on scratches on my *own* kitchen cabinet doors in my rental apartment, and they totally blended in with the stain.) A set of fridge organizers because you're spellbound by #FridgeTok videos and yearn for your own appliance to be as blissfully organized as those stars. And these'll prevent all kinds of spills! Some cabinet and drawer liners can protect your kitchen essentials from unnecessary wear and tear — even if your kitchen cabinets seem to be older than your grandma. A jar of the The Pink Stuff — a cleaning paste made to handle all kinds of sticky, stuck-on situations like this nasty-looking stove top or a kitchen faucet that seems to develop a cruddy coating every single day. A drill brush cleaning kit that'll attach to your drill/driver for an informercial-like cleaning sesh that'll have you seeking out all the dirty surfaces you've been ignoring. This'll handle all the elbow grease. An incredibly powerful grout cleaner can erase years of nasty buildup that you've just come to live with over the years. This'll come in handy for your floors *and* backsplash. Alternatively, a grout pen will fake some squeaky clean, stainless grout. Grout takes up a teeny bit of space but, as you can see from the pics, makes a huge impact! A slim cutlery organizer here to prove that, yes! You do have room for all your cutlery in your tiny kitchen drawer! Scoot over, forks. (Yeah yeah yeah, your drawers are *hidden* but they still make such a huge difference in your kitchen!) Spice strips for transforming your regular old drawer into a ~custom~ spice drawer. Come on, doesn't it look quite nice?! Some matte-steel cabinet pulls will bring a modern touch to those cabinets that were likely installed when you were in kindergarten. Even if you don't consider yourself a handy person, this is a super easy DIY. A bottle of Goo Gone foaming spray will help you win the good fight against greasy spills and messes. Your oven is about to get a makeover. A corner sponge organizer because you need 'em within reach... might as well make 'em look a bit tidier! Also, having them *right there* versus stashed in your under-sink cabinet will help motivate you to get to any hand-washing ASAP. An expandable under-sink kit can fit around awkward pipes in the kitchen or bathroom while giving some sturdy ground to those backup bottles of dish detergent. No more cabinet avalanches! A tea bag organizer that'll hold 100 bags, so you can finally reclaim your tea shelf (or cabinet!) back for other your Flamin' Hot snack collection. A small compost bin/trash can you can hang on a cabinet door for easy hiding and use. The lid lifts up *or* flips over for easily dumping as you food prep. In fact, I bought this for my tiny NYC apartment kitchen as a trash can and adore it. An accordion-like pots and pan organizer will easily adjust with your growing organizing needs. (Even that griddle pan you just had to buy.) Some mounted wine racks for a storage solution that'll make getting a post-work pour that much easier without hogging a perfectly good shelf. Plus it'll be a super easy way to display any especially decorative glasses. A charming fruit hammock you can screw onto the underside of your kitchen cabinets to clear up some counter space and put your farmers market haul on display. A cabinet door organizer to help corral your boxes of food wrap and cutting boards so you can easily ID the difference between normal saran wrap and your Glad Press 'N Seal. A plastic bag dispenser that'll bring some order to your kitchen drawers or, well, at least ONE of them. A pack of adhesive cord bundlers you can stick on the back of your kitchen appliances to keep power cords orderly instead of tripping up you (and your kitchen countertop setup). Plus, a set of stick-on appliance sliders that'll help you easily scoot that stand mixer back when not in use instead of negotiating with yourself to get out a step stool and dig it out of a cabinet because you've got a cookie craving. These lil' guys simply attach to the bottom of the appliance itself! An under-cabinet lid opener so you can easily pop off a lid of pasta sauce instead of watching hack YouTube videos when you've got a craving for spaghetti. Reviewers with limited dexterity find this especially helpful! Fridge bin liners will absorb extra moisture in an effort to keep your produce fresher for longer. PLUS, they'll catch the brunt of messy spills and will be so much easier to clean than taking a drawer out of the fridge and awkwardly scrubbing it down in your sink. A slim, slide-out caddy that's skinny but tall enough to place in the weird little space between your fridge and kitchen cabinets. This is also perfect for the stuff you put in the fridge but you don't really need to stash in the fridge. An attractive storage rail you can hang up where you need out in the open because it looks *that* nice! A conversion kit that'll let you hang some statement pendant lights if you wrinkle your nose at minimalist recessed lighting. A window film can still let in SO much light while giving you a bit of privacy in your kitchen — especially if a neighbor's window looks RIGHT into yours. (Really, that's only cute in sitcoms.) A broom and mop organizer to mount on a closet wall for a tidy "after" so you won't worry about an avalanche when you open that door. You know what I'm talking about. A dishwasher magnet so everyone in the house is on the same page about whether it's OK to eat off a plate that's in the dishwasher. A wineglass-washing dishwasher attachment in case your dishwasher isn't equipped with a way to keep a wineglass upright and in place OR you don't have enough for your needs. After all, hand-washing stuff you don't absolutely have to is pretty annoying. And if you're willing to put in some effort, a kitchen cabinet painting kit that requires ZERO stripping or priming *might* make you wonder if you're in someone else's house before you've had your coffee.

'I transformed my dreary kitchen for £150 after being quoted £3,000'
Natalie Stainthorpe completely transformed her kitchen on a budget after being told it would cost £3,000 for professionals to do the work A woman has completely transformed her kitchen for £150 after refusing to spend thousands of pounds on a renovation. Natalie Stainthorpe, from Middlesbrough, said she was quoted around £3,000 for a new kitchen - and decided to do the work herself i nstead. Natalie, a 34-year-old dental nurse, recently moved into a new home but found the kitchen was dark and "barely got any light" due to a home extension. Using TikTok tutorials, she planned to transform the space on a £250 budget - and even managed to come in £100 under her aim. She told What's The Jam: "I just couldn't stand how dark and gloomy it felt – I wanted a fresh, light space where I'd actually enjoy cooking and spending time with my family. The kitchen before was in good condition, but needed a little bit of TLC and I had a vision for the room. "We did a rough estimate of how much it would cost to completely replace the kitchen from a family friend and we were looking at quite a lot of money - around £2,000 to £3,000 - which was money we didn't have. I decided that I was going to do a budget-friendly makeover instead.", Swapping pricey new units for a few tins of paint and rolls of vinyl, Natalie roped in her partner and sister to help freshen up the cupboards, wrap the worktops and breathe new life into the handles. She picked up cupboard paint for under £15 a tin, snapped up bargain vinyl from B&Q and picked up all her decorating bits from B&M to keep costs down. The makeover took around a month, squeezed in between shifts and weekends, but the results speak for themselves – the once gloomy kitchen now bright, airy and looking brand new. Natalie added: 'Our original budget was £250 – I didn't want to spend more than that, so to come so far under budget was amazing. It was quite a dark room – dark floors, worktops and cupboards and I really wanted to lighten the space up as because of the extension on the back we don't get that much natural light. "We found the vinyl easy on the straight parts of the worktops, around the sink was a bit fiddly, we watched a few tutorials on YouTube on how to do it around the sink to try and minimise any mistakes. My partner Chris actually did most of the sink area as I ran out of patience with it. We repurposed the handles that were already on the units as to replace 14 handles in matte black was quite expensive. "We gave them a light sand and then we sprayed them with Rust-Oleum black matte spray paint and then sealed with a matte sealant spray. We got all our painting supplies from B&M to keep the costs down and budget-friendly – they sell such an amazing range of painting and decorating tools to help with projects like this. "I spent some time researching how to vinyl worktops watching videos on YouTube and TikTok. I also got lots of tips from my friend who has done lots of vinyling to change up her rental home." Natalie, who documented her journey on TikTok, says the whole project took around three to four weeks to complete as she picked it up on days off and weekends. She said: "It definitely wasn't a quick transformation but that was fine with us, we loved seeing it slowly come together. The hardest part for me was probably the vinyling, simply because it took more brain power than the rest, and a lot of patience - something I'm known to not have a lot of. "We didn't encounter any mistakes, we just took our time with the project - apart from when I spilt paint on my hob. If I was to start this project again, I wouldn't change anything – I love how we took our time and worked together to get our final look in here. Rome wasn't built in a day and sometimes time and money restrict a quick transformation. "I'm all for realistic budget makeovers and those take time. The difference it's made is amazing, it's now light and airy, it's really brightened up the room, I'm still obsessed with it now two months down the line. We've had such an amazing reaction to our makeover, my friends and family said it looks like a brand new kitchen and it's had such a good response both on my Instagram and TikTok. "My advice would be to take your time, it's okay if you don't get a transformation like this done in a day like you can sometimes see on social media. My second piece of advice to make sure the longevity of your makeover is prep, prep, prep. Spend time prepping your units and surfaces for painting, you'll thank yourself later. It just goes to show, you don't always need a big budget – sometimes a bit of patience and a few clever tricks can completely change your home."
