1. What is at my disposal?
If you want to save some money, the
first step is to make a list of furniture and appliances that you already have.
In some things you should invest more, and in some less. It can easily save if
you purchase finished kitchen blocks or kitchens whose elements are custom
made. Kitchen fronts do not have to be of the most expensive materials.
2. Can I repair the thing without much
effort?
To enter a luxury to your kitchen, you
do not have to spend a fortune. There are various types and forms of handles
that will give a whole new twist without great expenditure. If cabinets are really worn out you should get new
ones.
3. What do I need and what I want?
Create a detailed cost list in order to estimate and track costs and
prevent exceeding the set amount. On the final list be sure to add the 10
percent contingency costs. If you really
want to save, make another list - the real needs and desires. Make sure you
divide needs from desires and then do only
what you really need to do.
4. Is the current layout really good?
Major modifications to the position of
fixed installations are possible but usually require large financial
expenditures. If you keep their current position, you will save money that can
be redirected later on, for example, quality flooring, kitchen appliances and
the like.
5. Can I go cheaper?
You always need to know how much even
the smallest detail costs, so you should make a list before you decide
anything. Often two different shops offer the same product at very different
prices, and the same goes for contractors.
Once you really know what you need and to make a list of things to do. There
are some works that you have done before other (eg.
install pipes before placing the tiles), but it's good to make a schedule of
works.
Do not choose a constructor who is the
cheapest one, but ask for his previous work. If you select the constructor who
specializes in decoration (painters, painters, etc.) ask him to show you pictures
of previous works, and you get an impression of how it makes sense for
aesthetics.

As the material is concerned, perhaps the best option is to go shopping with the constructor. He'll know what to buy, and you can control how much is spent for this because he will not care much about the economy since it is not about his money. If you do something too expensive, take a look at several places, as prices may vary.
If you think of something, and a
constructor tells you that's not possible, ask someone else. However, if you
get the same answer, customize your idea of existing conditions. Sometimes you
will be thrilled to hear the outcome may turn out better than you originally
planned. Do not ask for the impossible, but or stand up for your ideas.
Normally quiet and
unobtrusive design of the kitchen is becoming more attractive if you add them a
little paint or some strange and seemingly inappropriate positioned detail -
green under a kitchen worktop in the kitchen island, orange on the door
cabinets, overly large red luster, details of strong colors sparingly scattered
throughout design, use of lighter and darker shades of wood, to crystal
chandelier above the table top. All this will to give a new direction to your kitchen design.
