Spent Only 60 Thousand Rubles on Kitchen Renovation and It Turned Out Great

Create a comfortable living space even on a small budget. We confirmed this with the example of Instagram blogger Sasha's kitchen. Let's see how she managed to achieve a stylish budget renovation.Finishing

The walls are covered with wallpaper, and laminate is laid on the floor — this is a very practical solution, especially in Sasha's family with two children.

She plans to expand the space later by removing the wall that currently forms a niche with a sofa. After that, it will no longer be just a kitchen but a kitchen-living room.

Furniture

All furniture is inexpensive but reliable — from the tile backsplash to the countertop with sink, and the faucet with the cabinet. The doors are made of MDF but retained their original appearance after two years since moving in.

Sealed containers with grains and spices are neatly arranged on the upper shelf directly above the working surface. This saves a lot of time during cooking and avoids clutter from spices. These were packaging containers for baby food, whose lids were simply painted black.

Appliances

The refrigerator and long dining table are compactly arranged, allowing not only cooking but also family dinners. Natural lighting in the kitchen works great for photo shoots, and the sofa area helps accommodate guests near the TV.

The appliances were not included in the total renovation cost, as the dishwasher was bought only a year later, and the stove was moved from the previous apartment.

Over time, Sasha plans to replace the freestanding stove with a built-in one since there are small gaps between it and the countertop.
