Comments (13)The cabinets look amazing. I'm not at all sure about some of the rest of the detailing, especially the very cheap-looking worktop, but you have to make sacrifices when you're on a tight budget. Worktops can always be replaced later!...See Morekitchen update on budget
Comments (3)Hi, Have you got a budget in mind? are you looking to do a full reno or update what you have? It looks as though the walls are currently painted orange; as you already have a strong coloured tile, you could maybe opt for a light coloured wall to make the space feel lighter and brighter....See MoreUpdate/remodel kitchen on a budget
Comments (9)I think the layout needs improving anyway. The stove is very close to the corner, so I'd definitely want that moved more towards the right. Which means you'd have to have a narrow cabinet to the right of the stove. If it was my kitchen and wanted to do it on a budget, I'd check out Ikea or DIY kitchens. I'd probably go for tall cabinets along the wall across from the window. In those tall cabinets an integrated fridge freezer, microwave/oven and loads of storage. You could then lose the upper cabinets. I'd also want corner cabinets with clever pull out storage and drawers wherever possible. If you really, really, really want a breakfast bar, you could then have stools instead of a cabinet under the countertop, where the microwave and freezer/fridge (?) are now....See MoreNew kitchen units - on a budget!
Comments (37)My father and I completely replaced my kitchen two years ago with one from Ikea—their Ash veneer doors. Kitchen itself (including doors) cost just over 2k from what I remember, and that included the double basin sink. I got the worktop from Worktop Express, which was another £1200 or so, but most of that was due to posting to Northern Ireland. Two years and three dogs down the line, and I still love it. I painted the doors with a Johnstone’s copy of LG’s Slaked Lime Deep, and it still looks fab despite the dogs. All in, by the time you included tiles, electrics, plumbing etc my new kitchen cost just over 6k—but I think it looks considerably more. Then again, I’m biased! I do love Ikea cabinets—they’re generous, their drawers and drawer fittings are genius, they’re easy to build, and a wood veneer door can be painted to look like a kitchen three times the price with a little hard graft. Note the point about the worktop depths though—you probably wouldn’t be able to keep your existing, unless you do something creative to butt it out by two to three cm....See More- 8 months ago
