Budget kitchen remodel ideas – 10 ways to transform your space with minimal spend

Budget kitchen remodel ideas are one of the top projects in period and country properties, with kitchen remodel ideas also proving popular in new homes too. 

This is because a generous kitchen is now the epicentre for modern home life and a hub for cooking, entertaining, working and more. 

From side and rear extensions to conservatories and basement designs, there are a number options available. 

To help you decide on the most suitable extension for your needs, start by asking your kitchen designer for advice. Extensions are now a common request, so many kitchen companies will be able to recommend a good builder or architect to help bring your kitchen to life. It's also worth asking friends and family for recommendations of tradesmen in your area.

'There are huge benefits to a budget kitchen remodel,' says Charlie Kingham, director of Charlie Kingham Cabinetmakers. 

‘Firstly, your kitchen layout will become a more sociable and interactive space. Secondly, you can improve light-levels, traffic flow and overall comfortability so that cooking is more enjoyable. And thirdly, done beautifully – even on a budget, you should see a return on investment, if not profit, when it comes to your home’s value.’
