12/03/2012 There’s no doubt that the kitchen is the heart of any home here in Tampa or elsewhere. It’s where the meals are prepared with love, where everyone turns to for sustenance and for warmth, and many of the most compelling holiday memories are made. In many homes, this is the room that’s also in need a major update.



Unfortunately, budgets are often tight around the holidays. There are things you can do however that will add a little extra sparkle and shine to your kitchen during the holidays without completely breaking the family budget.



Clear out the Clutter


Because the kitchen is used well and often, probably more than any other room in the home, it often becomes a landing place for unwanted clutter. If you want to give new life to your kitchen one of the most important things to do is to ditch the uninvited clutter and take active steps to prevent it from taking over again.
Not only do various family members leave little bits and pieces of their daily lives in this room but old dishes, utensils, and appliances that haven’t been used since the first Bush was in office are also taking up valuable real estate in cabinets and on countertops. A great rule of thumb is that if you haven’t used it in the past twelve months (face it there are some things we only drag out for the holidays), get rid of it. This will help your kitchen look more spacious in a matter of hours.
Consult with Experts



Before you completely rule out a kitchen remodel, or at the very least new cabinets to bring new life to your kitchen, bring in Tampa kitchen remodelling contractors and see how much they can do for how little money. You might be surprised by how affordable a small transformation for your kitchen can be.



DIY When Possible



There are many things you can do on your own when it comes to sprucing up your kitchen for the holidays. There’s no reason you can’t remove the wallpaper the previous owner thought was such a great idea or paint the walls a more accommodating shade for your new cabinets. Doing these things yourself can help cut costs drastically too. But, when it comes to installing cabinetry and/or countertops, it is usually best to leave these exacting jobs to the experts.
The holidays are almost upon us. Give us a call today and see what we can do to give your kitchen a new look for the holiday season.
