THE PROBLEM WITH CHEAP KITCHEN RENOVATIONS – WHY QUALITY MATTERS

When it comes to cheap kitchens in Perth, there are a lot of options available which might seem appealing due to the very low cost. Although it’s important that the kitchen you choose is affordable and fits within a budget, focusing on a cheap renovation over a quality renovation can have its problems.

Today, we’ll be looking at some of the issues that can come with a cheap kitchen renovation.

Poor quality products

It’s true that sometimes you get what you pay for. Although a cheap renovation can seem appealing, it often involves the use of low cost materials which are often also low quality. If cheaper materials are used in the renovation, you might quickly begin to notice issues as poor workmanship takes its toll with marked benchtops, bubbling or peeling finishes, and cabinets and drawers which don’t shut properly.

Limited lifespan

Some cheaper renovations can look good to begin with and you might be happy with the initial results when you update tired cabinets and old benchtops. However, the test of a good quality kitchen is whether it will stand the test of time and cheap kitchens often don’t have the longevity as compared to a quality renovation. This can be frustrating as although you might save money in the short term, you could find yourself in a position in the near future where you need to update your kitchen much sooner than you would have liked due to the poor quality revealing itself through visible wear and tear.

Lack of choice with design

When you’ve decided that you want to go ahead with Kitchen renovations, you want to be in a position where you can choose which design you love and have it customised as you see fit. With cheaper kitchens, they’re often re-fabricated or have only one or two different design choices which could see you end up with a layout and style which isn’t your first preference. Also, with limited choice can come limited functionality where you aren’t able to incorporate the storage solutions which would make life much easier.

Having choice with your new kitchen is important as it means that you’re genuinely happy with the final product, rather than settling on a design that you’re not sold on. If you’re looking for a kitchen renovation that fits within a certain budget, you don’t need to compromise on quality. By making a few clever decisions during the design process, you can have a beautiful kitchen which is also affordable.
