Kitchen design mistake: Being unrealistic with your budget
Even though it isn’t fun to realize you can’t afford the kitchen you were hoping for, it’s far better to begin your project fully aware of what you will and won’t be able to obtain for your budget.
Overspending on units only to discover you can’t afford new appliances will be even less fun. Talk to a few kitchen designers and ask, “How much does a new kitchen cost?” to get an idea of what is and isn’t feasible for you.
People usually don’t have a clear vision about their budget. So, make sure you do your research to get a feel for the standard cost of remodeling a kitchen.
Make your available budget clear to your chosen designer from the start, and be mindful that appliances, worktops, and accessories vary significantly in price.
The designer you’re working with should be able to advise you about the best options within your price range.
