A kitchen remodel can cost you a fair amount but more often than not, before you know it, you’ve spent more than you intended. But if you know on which items to splurge and which ones to save, you might have better luck sticking to your budget.

Here are some guidelines that will help you prevent overspending on your next kitchen remodel.

Save

Sink

Your kitchen sink isn’t something you need to spend thousands of rands on. You’ll find plenty of good stainless steel options that look just fine and are durable at an affordable price.

Lighting

While lighting is important for functionality, safety and design purposes, you don’t have to spend a lot of money to achieve any of these things. If you have lighting focused on the right areas and have the desired atmosphere, there’s no need to break the bank.

Flooring

Hardwood floors and tiles are typically the number one choice but they can be expensive. Luckily there are other options available like vinyl, laminate and linoleum that are much cheaper.

Cabinets

Customised kitchen cabinets are great if you have the money to spend, but standard cabinetry will work just fine if you don’t. You can make it look more elegant by adding fancy hardware.

Spend

Countertop

A stone countertop can’t be beaten – they look gorgeous, they’re durable and will increase your home’s value if you ever wanted to sell. Countertops are used a lot so if you want something that won’t get damaged quickly, you might want to go for high quality.

Hardware

Since cabinet door handles and knobs are used frequently, it’s better to invest in ones that are top quality and feel good.

Faucet

A quality faucet that works well and is sturdy is a must. There’s a huge difference between a bad quality faucet and a good one.

Keep in mind that what’s important to one person might not be to another. This is just a guideline and you are still in charge of your kitchen remodel.
