Budgets are a downer to any redo, we've gathered 3 ways to use discount décor and trick your way into the kitchen of your dreams without having the salary of your dreams.

1. Do handyman work yourself
   It's amazing what just a few tools, a YouTube tutorial and a bit of time can do. Leave the big things to the professionals, but there's no reason to call someone out for doing a bit of light painting.
2. Stay simple and don't overcomplicate
   A lick of paint and a couple new decorations can do wonders for uplifting a room. Pick small and cheap things to change while keeping the expensive kitchen staples the same, to give the whole room a different perspective. Appliances can also be painted over to give them a new lease on life!
3. Use affordable appliances
   Designer products are great, but there's often cheaper versions of whatever look you're after available for a cut cost price. Recycle and make yourself for even more low-cost options! Second hand stoves, fridges and ovens are a great way to get a discount on something that's typically a very expensive necessary part of a kitchen.
