13 Best DIY Budget Kitchen Projects

Find affordable ideas and how-to instructions for adding style, function and pizzazz.

Mix and Match Countertops:  Not all surfaces have to be the same. Wood countertops are reasonably priced, easy to install and can add a ton of character. Replace a small standalone prep area or do the whole kitchen.

Tin-Tile Backsplash:  This is an easy project that should cost you no more than $100. Tin tile has many advantages: Its reflective properties will brighten a room, it is easy to clean and it comes in a variety of finishes to match your kitchen's hardware and fixtures.

Swap out the Faucet: A new fixture can add that extra shine you're looking for. New faucets have a lot more functionality, so the upgrade can be more than just aesthetic. This is a good first-time DIY plumbing project to try. Just make sure you shut off the water valves and follow the directions carefully.

Use all Wall Space: Incorporate storage onto your backsplash and walls. Besides pre-made shelves, many retailers sell hooks, racks and rails that will hold all sorts of kitchen gadgets.

Try Peel-and-Stick Backsplash Kit:  An all-in-one mosaic tile kit is a snap to install and comes with everything you need, including the tools. The tile is peel-and-stick and the grout is pre-mixed so you save time, mess and money.
