Set your budget

Deciding what you’re willing to spend will help you work out what you can afford on your wish list – with a contingency for the inevitable unexpected issues. You might choose to splash out on dream items while saving in other areas – a luxury quartz or marble worktop can look stunning on good but basic units. You could save thousands on designer kitchens buying ex-display from used kitchen companies, with top brand appliances often thrown in. If your old units are still good, sell them or repurpose for a utility.
