Work With your BUDGET

‘If you have the money, there’s no reason why the design of your utility room should be any less beautiful than your kitchen,’ says expert renovator Michael Holmes. ‘A typical bespoke utility room, with five or six units, costs between £2,000 and £4,000 plus worktops, appliances and VAT. If you’re on a budget, buy units from an online flatpack retailer such as tradekitchensforall.co.uk and fit them yourself for a much cheaper cost of £750 to £1,000.’
