Renovating a kitchen does not necessarily have to cost a lot of money to be effective, one expert has claimed. Interior design specialist Kelly Hoppen believes that a kitchen makeover can be achieved that truly neednt cost a fortune, the Press and Journal reports. According to Ms Hoppen, food preparation areas are the heart of the home where many property owners like to cook and entertain friends. She remarked You can keep the existing cupboards but fit new doors and update easily by investing in maybe one or two high-gloss appliances.People often fear the price of making a mess of home improvements in the kitchen, the interior designer explained, making it the trickiest room to approach.Writing for the Lakewood Observer last month, William Hodge advised those who are considering a large-scale renovation to their kitchen to hire a contractor. This included work on fixtures such as kitchen taps or sinks, as well as electric or plumbing work.
