In this article I will tell you how you can get a high end kitchen and save yourself thousands of pounds!
The most common way to purchase a high end kitchen is the same old routine of visiting a showroom, meeting your over enthusiastic kitchen salesman whilst making small talk over your free coffee. Once that’s out of the way its time to choose the kitchen you actually want. From the traditional Shaker style kitchen to a modern luxury gloss white kitchen, hundreds of designs and finishes to choose from! Quite stressful and time consuming scenario resulting in you handing over a cheque of £20,000 and walking away hoping everything goes to plan.
Step 1: Spend £2000 – £5000 on the cabinets. How? I would advise finding a local bespoke furniture manufacturer. They may seem a little less professional but they certainly will be more skilled and knowledgeable than an independent kitchen showroom salesman. Always ask to see their work and an advantage would be that they are handmade and available made to measure. Tell them what you want and get a price and a time scale.
Step 2: Spend £700 – £1200 on the kitchen doors and kitchen drawer fronts. How? Search the Internet or visit a local trade centre for your kitchen doors and kitchen drawer fronts. They will be the same quality as the kitchen doors in the showrooms. There will also be a wider range of choice enabling you to get the exact design and finish that you desire.
Step 3: Spend £1000 – £2000 on appliances. How? Again search online for your appliances, you will find them a lot cheaper than the price tag in the showroom. Alternatively visit a local appliance centre to see exactly what you are buying in the ‘flesh’.
Step 4: Spend £50 – £1000 on handles and knobs. How? Probably the most important purchase you will make to achieve your luxury kitchen look. Handles can complete the look and make your kitchen stand out from the rest. Try searching online for handle manufacturers and don’t be afraid to import from abroad.
Step 5: Spend £2000 – £5000 on work surfaces. How? Definitely buy your worktop directly from the manufacturer. Granite is the best option. Try searching on the Internet for Trade Granite Suppliers or have a look in your local Yellow Pages.
Step 6: Spend £1000 – £2000 on installation. How? Ask around for local, recommended Joiners. If they are fully qualified and genuine you will find that they will be already be booked up for a couple of weeks.
