How to do a budget kitchen remodel
The kitchen is one of the most favourite areas in the house for many Aucklanders. Renovating your kitchen can be a great way to upgrade the look of your home while creating a beautiful space for many shared meals and memories.
However, the truth is: kitchens are always one of the most expensive areas in your house to remodel. If you are not careful, a kitchen renovation project can go well over the budget.

2. Stay open minded
If you’re going for a particularly trendy look, see if you can achieve the same aesthetics with much more affordable materials.

For example, you might want to in- vest in a high-end stove if you cook a lot, and install pre-made budget-friendly cabinets to save some money. Staying flexible and open-minded will help you cut corners on cost, while still achieving the magazine-worthy look.
3. Paint your cabinets
Installing new cabinets is a sure fire way to drive your costs up. Painting your cabinets, on the other hand, is a cost-effective and straightforward way to achieve a stunning kitchen remodel!

Already have all your own trades and you’re comfortable managing them for your kitchen renovation?
Although we don’t recommend if you haven’t renovated a kitchen before and/or you don’t have trades people you can trust, most renovations if not all comes with it’s own surprises because not all homes are the same – this is where experience/project management plays an important role in minimises risks to maintain costs/delays giving you higher certainty of outcome/quality backed by associated guarantees and warranties.
However, if you do intend to manage the kitchen renovation yourself, it does work out more cost effective to contact a kitchen cabinetry manufacturer directly to get the kitchen cabinets designed, manufactured and installed – leaving you to manage the other trades such as flooring, demolition, painting, plastering, splashback/tiling, electrician, plumber, and sometimes a carpenter/builder.
