For many, the kitchen is seen as the hub of the home. Apart from the bedroom, experts suggest the kitchen is where you spend most time when at home, so it’s important to have a fantastic look. An appealing kitchen will help you significantly when you come to sell-up in the future too.
Is your kitchen in need of a refurbishment? Often, homeowners who want to update their kitchen are limited because of a tight budget. But there’s a way to transform the look without spending a great deal. This is by simply switching the kitchen cupboard doors.
A whole kitchen refit can be quite expensive, going into thousands of pounds. Whereas changing the cupboard doors can be relatively cheap in comparison.
It’s also much less hassle and you won’t need electricians, plumbers or decorators. There won’t be any mess and the job can be completed in a little as a few hours. You could even consider changing the doors yourself, once purchased from a reputable supplier.
So how much would replacing your doors cost? Well kitchen cupboard doors can be as little as £20 each for a veneer wood-finish. Better quality doors would cost up to £100 apiece but the average homeowner spends around £50 per door.
So to sum up, why just replace the kitchen doors?
- A cheaper modernisation
Replacing the kitchen doors is a much cheaper way to completely alter the look of the room. You can keep the old carcass and significantly reduce how much you spend.
- A quick process
The doors can be replaced in just a few hours and you can carry on using your kitchen at the same time, much different to if you have a full refurbishment.
- Change other aspects of the kitchen
You can change the look of your kitchen further by replacing areas such as the worktop, lighting or flooring. You can change aesthetics to suit your budget, as and when you decide, rather than refurbishing it all at the same time.
