Replace the kitchen

More than just the heart of the home, the kitchen is the engine room, and if it feels tired and functions poorly, it can have a big impact on day-to-day life. However, when it comes to budgeting for a new kitchen, there can be a great disparity between expectation and reality, especially as the dream for many period homeowners is to invest in handmade solid-wood cabinetry, which is costly. Before specifying your units, consider whether the space offers everything you need. Often extending or remodelling is the best way to achieve your perfect kitchen, especially if you want to create a family-friendly kitchen-diner, although it will add significantly to the cost.
