Plan Your Kitchen in Stages
The Four Stages of Planning Your Kitchen
Minimum Modules and Enticing Extras
These floor plans show the same kitchen treated in two different ways. The first has been planned on a limited budget and contains the basics only, while the other is a truly luxurious design, containing a variety of appliances, gadgets and special units.
Bear in mind that kitchen installation companies tend to charge per unit- the second kitchen shown here has a total of 18 units, making it considerably more expensive to build than the first one, which has only seven, Any major changes to plumbing or electrical installations will push the price up, as will any special features such as enamel sinks, post-formed finishes, solid wooden doors, pull-out drawers or storage units with smooth runners.
