Kitchen Advice
When designing any room in your home, it’s important to approach the process with a mindset that enables you to achieve your desired look without exceeding your budget. Understanding where to invest in more expensive items and where you can make savings without compromising on quality is key, so let’s take a look at where to spend and where to save on your kitchen renovation project.
Where to Spend and Save in Your Kitchen Renovation
Invest in high quality flooring
Kitchens tend to be one of the busiest spaces in the home, so it’s really important to invest in a high quality floor that will stand the test of time. Additionally, your kitchen floor will also do a lot of work when it comes to grounding your design scheme, so investing a little more into this element is something you’re unlikely to regret.
A wooden floor will always look outstanding in a kitchen, and if this is the route you want to take, we’d always recommend investing in sustainable, high quality boards that have been treated in a way that makes them suitable for a high foot traffic part of the home.
Pro Tip: If you’re renovating an older property, it’s always worth investigating what might be hiding beneath old tiles or laminate. You may reveal a beautiful original floor that can be restored and take centre stage once again.
Affordable kitchen unit doors can look more expensive
While it’s not recommended to skimp when it comes to your kitchen cabinetry, we’re proof that affordable kitchen unit doors can look as stylish and impactful as much more expensive options.
If you’re looking for kitchen unit doors with beautiful panelling to complement your traditional style kitchen, our Bella Stratford doors have the classic yet timeless feel you’re looking for.
Conversely, if your dream kitchen unit doors have a sleek and modern look, our Valore doors could be your perfect match. Our Valore range is FSC certified and comes in a variety of high end finishes, including galvano bronze, evora stone graphite, and Vanguard walnut.
Quality worktops are worth the investment
Worktops are one of the features that can make such a huge difference to the way your kitchen looks. The worktops you choose should be durable and beautiful, ensuring that you get the most value and enjoyment from your investment.
From marble to granite, quartz and natural wood, there are many different styles and materials to choose from. Allow the way you want your space to look and feel to drive your decision here, but always aim to choose a finish that is easy to look after and will stand the test of time.
Pro Tip: It’s also important to ensure your kitchen unit doors and worktops complement each other, as this will ensure your space feels harmonious and balanced.
A pantry or utility room can offer extra storage
While it may initially seem that creating a separate dedicated space such as a pantry or a utility room will simply add extra costs to your project, going down this route can actually save you money. The main reason for this is that there’s simply no need to choose the most expensive flooring or worktops for these spaces, as they aren’t on show and you won’t necessarily be spending a lot of time there.
Affordable accessories can complete your design
Accessories can really put the finishing touches on a kitchen, but you definitely don’t need to spend a fortune in the process. From cornices and soft-close drawer mechanisms to door handles and kickboards, we’ve got a full range of accessories to complement our kitchen unit doors and help you to achieve a high quality finish within your budget.
