HOW TO BUDGET FOR YOUR PERTH KITCHEN RENOVATIONS
It’s an exciting time when you decide to take the plunge and go ahead with your long-awaited kitchen renovations – finally, you’ll have a functional space that fits with your lifestyle! Before you go ahead and start choosing splashbacks and benchtops, you do need to sort out the practical side of the costs involved. Today, we’ll be taking a look at how you can ensure you get the renovations you want while staying within your budget.
Set your Budget
This may seem obvious, but a lot of people start planning their kitchen and choosing materials without thinking too much about how much they want to spend. Before you begin your project, think about how much you can realistically afford, and then stick to your budget throughout the design process. It’s also important to take the long view with regard to how much you’re willing to spend. For example, if you’re planning to stay in your home long term, then it may be worth saving up for that dream kitchen which will last the distance.
Speak with a Designer
Once you’ve decided on your budget, speak with a kitchen designer about what you’re planning for your renovations so they can give expert advice as to what can be achieved within your cost constraints. They have the design knowledge to help achieve a stunning result while overseeing the project to ensure that you’re not overspending.
Decide on Splurge Items
While it’s important that you stick to your budget, you also need to be happy with your finished kitchen. Think about features in the kitchen that you want to spend money on and factor these in. For example, splurging on a natural stone benchtop can lift the look of the whole space, or you may want new appliances to make for easy entertaining in your new kitchen. Your kitchen designer can help you decide where you should be spending your money for maximum impact.
Factor in Unexpected Costs
It’s important to be aware that sometimes additional expenses can crop up during a kitchen renovation. For example, you may need to bring in extra tradespeople to help with plumbing or wiring issues, or unexpected damage may occur when removing your old kitchen, incurring extra costs.
