Your Guide to Budgeting for Your New Kitchen

By Krystal Kitchens, Basingstoke, Hampshire

Planning a new kitchen is exciting—but let’s be honest, it can feel overwhelming when it comes to budgeting. At Krystal Kitchens in Basingstoke, Hampshire, we believe the process should be as smooth as possible. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you understand how to budget for your dream kitchen—without the stress.

1. Know What You Need (and Want!)

Start by listing the essentials. Are you looking for a full kitchen redesign or just updating your units and worktops? Do you need new appliances, or will your current ones work with the new layout?

Our friendly in-store kitchen designers can help you decide what’s essential—and what’s a nice-to-have—based on your lifestyle and budget. Best of all? Kitchen design consultations are completely free.

2. Set a Realistic Budget

Kitchens come in all shapes, sizes and price ranges. A full kitchen remodel can start from a few thousand pounds and go up depending on materials, layout changes, and appliances.

Think about:

  • Cabinetry: This is often the biggest cost in a kitchen.
  • Worktops: Laminate is budget-friendly; quartz or granite are premium options.
  • Appliances: Will you be keeping what you have or upgrading?
  • Installation: Professional fitting ensures everything works perfectly.
  • Contingency: Always leave 10–15% of your budget aside for unexpected changes.

At Krystal Kitchens, we have flexible finance options available to help spread the cost of your new kitchen. Just ask us how!

3. Visit a Showroom (It’s Worth It!)

Seeing kitchens in person helps you get a feel for the materials, finishes, and layouts. Our large Basingstoke showroom has a wide range of displays and free parking, so you can take your time exploring options without the pressure.

We often have in-store offers available too—so you might find the perfect kitchen at an even better price!

4. Make the Most of Expert Advice

Our experienced team at Krystal Kitchens will help you make smart, budget-friendly choices. Whether it’s suggesting space-saving units or recommending energy-efficient appliances, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

And remember, our kitchen design service is 100% free—so why not pop in and start planning?

5. Get a Quote You Can Trust

Once your design is finalised, we’ll provide a detailed quote—no hidden surprises. We’ll work with you to make sure everything fits within your budget, and we’ll even help you explore finance options if needed.
