KITCHENS ON A BUDGET

Whether you’re renovating your kitchen to increase the value of your property, or just because it’s time for something new, you could be forgiven for putting the project off because of the expense. The truth is that some kitchens can cost thousands of pounds, but with clever shopping and access to the right help and advice, you can get a fabulous kitchen for a price you can afford.

Kitchens Can Cost Less

The kitchens market is huge, with designers, manufacturers, suppliers and retailers all competing for your business. No one wants to pay more than they have to for base units, kitchen doors, appliances and more, and so the market is competitive. That means lower prices for you, and often on great quality items. All you need to do is make sure you do the groundwork so that you end up with a kitchen that looks fantastic, but doesn’t break the bank:

  • Budget – the first thing you need to do is decide how much you can afford to spend. If you’ve moved to a new property, perhaps you’ve borrowed additional money to help you with all the refurbishments. If you’re having an extension or any building work done to your kitchen, you may have taken out a loan. Or you may be using your savings to pay for a straightforward refurbishment. However you’re getting the money, you need to be sure that you’ve got enough, including a contingency, to get you the kitchen you want.

 

  • Planning – keep an eye on your costs as you go through the project. Kitchens capture the imagination, and it’s easy to walk into a showroom or shop online and be bowled over by something that might cost more than you can afford to spend. Looking for bargains, low online prices and special offers is a great way to make sure you keep your budget on track.
  • Be smart – lots of things can help you to make your kitchens budget stretch further. If you shop smartly, you can find plenty of value. Ask for deals on multiple appliances, look for kitchen unit doors that have a great finish, but don’t cost too much, go for storage solutions that will help you make the most of your space without costing a fortune and see if you can re-use anything in your current kitchen that will save you having to spend more than you need to.
