Having recently moved we are on the hunt for a new kitchen, after all I spend most of my time in that room of the house, but with a new kitchen usually comes a huge price tag. Here are my top tips on how you can give your kitchen a makeover without breaking the bank. Cut out the middleman Fancy kitchen showrooms are very appealing but it is easy to forget you pay a premium for that glitzy lighting and troupe of sales people. Instead workout your design and then go direct to a manufacturer such as Kitchen Warehouse who can supply you quality kitchen cabinets and accessories without the markup. Unless you happen to be a kitchen fitter yourself make sure you employ a professional to fit your kitchen to ensure a top quality finish. Don't replace, simply reface If your kitchen design is working for you and the cupboards are solid why not simply update your cupboard doors and draw fronts for a fresh, new look. Amazingly this can save you around 80% on the price of a new kitchen plus it is far less upheaval and mess. Replacement kitchen doors are easy to source and all you need to do is measure your currents doors, select your style and colour and order. Focus on the floorQuality flooring is of paramount importance in a kitchen due to the multifaceted role this space plays in our daily lives. Beyond merely serving as a functional area for meal preparation, the kitchen often acts as a social hub, a creative culinary space, and a high-traffic zone. A well-chosen, high-quality flooring material such as engineered wood flooring not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the kitchen but also ensures durability, safety, and ease of maintenance. Buy your own appliances Don't buy your appliances from the same place you buy your kitchen. The sales people will have to add on mark up. Shop around the internet and find the best deals and have them delivered to you direct. And also keep energy efficiency in mind. Be savvy with your design A little forward planning with your kitchen design can save you hundreds. Keeping the location of your appliances and sinks to avoid the costs of tradespeople moving the electrics and gas to new locations. Also if your current flooring is fine then keep your kitchen the same footprint so you won't need to worry about replacing a perfectly good floor or the stress of patching in new tiles to fill the new gaps.

These are such good tips! When our kitchen gets a bit tired I hope to revamp the cupboards, rather than purchase a whole new kitchen :)

These are such good tips. We have never ever had to do a kitchen and I wouldn't have thought of most of these as ways of saving money and kitchens are so expensive, so it is really handy advice, thankyou

These really are top tips. I agree some times refacing, especially things like the front of cupboards is a great idea xx

I've recently painted my utility cupboards and it's changed the entire look, super quick and cheap.

This spiritual caster known as Lord Krish is really great in helping you get your ex back and making your infertility cured. I am happy to be one of the people to publish about him on the internet as a trusted and reliable spell caster. I am Lorraine Davis from Michigan, USA. Problems began to happen in my marriage after the 4th year of marriage and my husband began to cheat and sleep with other women because I was infertile and was not able to bear him a child. I contacted Lord Krish after reading comments on google and YouTube about how he has been helping people and contacted his email: [email protected] to communicate with him and we spoke on Whats-App too. It's been more than a year now and I am happy to write about my encounter with him. Within 2 days of contact, my husband came home and apologized to me for his behavior and pleaded with me to forgive him. Before I knew it, I received the natural fertility herbal cure from the UPS which he sent to me and I became fertile. I conceived and gave birth to twin girls which made me very happy. As a result, my husband throughout my trimester periods, loved me even more. How grateful I am to be happy in my relationship. Contact Lord Krish through email at [email protected] if you are passing through any problem to help you and you will be glad you did
