Changes to your kitchen can completely transform your home when they’re done well, so, if you’re planning a kitchen refurbishment in Leicester, we’ve put together this handy guide which should help you get it right.
The success of most things is normally in the planning and this very much applies to creating your dream kitchen. If you’ve found yourself getting fed up with the look and feel of the kitchen you currently have, then you owe it to yourself to put some real time and effort into planning its refurbishment.
A good place to start your Leicester kitchen refurbishment is by creating a kitchen wish list. Think about your family circumstances and how they might change over the next few years. Ask yourself not only what will look great and suit your style, but also what will make your life easier.
The kitchen is, after all, the heart of the home and the place where lots of time is spent, so, it’s worth thinking about how it will be used and making it the sort of space which works for you.
Consider the following:
- Layout
- Space
- Design
- Appliances
- Worktops
- Decoration
- Lighting
- Flooring
- Storage

Establish your budget
In addition to a wish list being a great part of your planning, before you make any decisions, it’s important to set a budget for your Leicester kitchen refurbishment.
Having a kitchen which looks fresh out of the pages of an interior design glossy may be a lot more achievable than you think. Just because something looks expensive and brimming with sumptuous luxury, doesn’t mean that it has to cost the earth.
When you get your planning and design right, the WOW factor will undoubtedly follow – but, it’s important to know that the funding is there.
Budgeting isn’t all about what you will physically add to your kitchen, such as new kitchen appliances, worktops and cabinets, it’s also important to factor in how you will get it installed. Do you, for example, need any building work or carpentry to be done? Will you need to pay for plumbers, electricians, decorators and kitchen fitters?
Another thing to check, if you are unsure, is whether you might need planning permission (this is especially important if you are planning a kitchen extension).
Leicester kitchen refurbishments can range from as little as £5,000 to more than £35,000, depending on how much you want to push the boat out, so it’s important to cost everything up first to be certain you won’t run out of money half way through.
