Choose wisely and it should last up to 20 years and beyond, so it pays to be sure when you\u2019re buying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start planning a kitchen by writing down everything you don\u2019t like about your current kitchen \u2013 and this can be anything from what it looks like to how much space you have to cook. Use this to create a wishlist \u2013 what you\u2019d like your new design to include \u2013 and divide the list into \u2018must-have\u2019 and \u2018nice to have\u2019. Next, think about how you\u2019d like it to look and make sure this includes worktops, flooring and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/how-to-choose-a-kitchen-splashback\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">splashbacks<\/a>.

As well as the high street, visit independent kitchen showrooms in your area \u2013 you\u2019ll be surprised at the range most of them offer and how they can tailor it to fit your budget. You\u2019ll also benefit from their experience \u2013 local companies will be familiar with the style of properties in the area so will have come across the same design challenges and know how to solve them. You may even find that a bespoke kitchen works out more as a more cost-effective choice if the design is simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/assets\/2014\/02\/2-Barnes-Le_Page_02.jpg\" alt=\"new kitchen\" class=\"wp-image-18423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2014\/02\/05130007\/2-Barnes-Le_Page_02.jpg 550w, https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2014\/02\/05130007\/2-Barnes-Le_Page_02-320x210.jpg 320w, https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2014\/02\/05130007\/2-Barnes-Le_Page_02-507x332.jpg 507w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Image source: Barnes of Ashburnton<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m as much of a fan of bargains as the next gal but while I\u2019m happy to buy a pair of sky-high heels on impulse I wouldn\u2019t recommend the same for purchasing a kitchen. It\u2019s easy to get carried away in the sales with the amount of appliances and cupboards you need plus you\u2019re less likely to shop around because of the perceived savings. Instead, planning your kitchen wishlist before the sales hit, along with being sure to set a budget and compare prices with a variety of suppliers, will make sure you really are getting the best deal in a sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which isn\u2019t to say there aren\u2019t some easy ways to save on a kitchen. Reducing how much you spend on appliances and worktops should be your first step. Lower-spec appliances from good brands will often incorporate similar technology and build quality, while swapping granite worktops for a faux stone laminate will give you the look without the price tag. A few large cabinets will also usually work out cheaper than several smaller ones \u2013 think double larders, wide drawer units and tall cupboards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s often the layout and design of a kitchen that makes the strongest impact along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/get-glam-kitchen-budget\/\">glam kitchen&nbsp;features<\/a> such as glass shelving, splashback panelling, lighting and statement taps. You can also limit the amount of expensive materials you use while still having a little of what you fancy. Rather than an entire wall of pricey tiles, for example, opt for a single statement panel behind the hob or sink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"366\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/assets\/2014\/02\/3-Steve-Robinson-Glass-High-res-compresse_21791.jpg\" alt=\"kitchen design ideas\" class=\"wp-image-18424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2014\/02\/05130004\/3-Steve-Robinson-Glass-High-res-compresse_21791.jpg 550w, https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2014\/02\/05130004\/3-Steve-Robinson-Glass-High-res-compresse_21791-498x332.jpg 498w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.steverobinsonglass.com\/]\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Image source: Steve Robinson Glass<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Places where you shouldn\u2019t skimp are often the bits you don\u2019t see.
