At LPS Direct, our main goal is to provide you with a kitchen design you will enjoy for years to come at a price that won’t break the bank. This page will explore several ways to save during the creation of your new kitchen. As always, we’re ready to discuss your design needs directly whenever you are ready.
The kitchen design expert team at LPS Direct has extensive experience with kitchen designs in Long Island and surrounding areas. Over the years, we’ve developed several cost-effective strategies.
To save during the design stage, consider maintaining your current kitchen layout. This means you can dramatically transform your kitchen’s appearance by upgrading cabinets and countertops without the need for moving existing structures, adding islands, or removing walls. This approach offers a new look at a fraction of the cost compared to a complete layout overhaul.
Choosing cost-effective materials can also lead to significant savings. For example, opting for laminate cabinets instead of solid wood can achieve a similar aesthetic at a lower price. Using materials like butcher block on perimeter counters is another way to economize, while investing in higher-quality materials for areas like an island that might see heavier use.
Not everything needs to be done immediately. If your current kitchen appliances still function well but don’t match your new design, consider keeping them for another year or two. This allows you to upgrade later when your budget is more accommodating. Spreading out expenses over time makes it more feasible to achieve the kitchen of your dreams without compromise.
Timing your project can also lead to significant savings. Contractors typically have busier schedules during the summer and near the holidays. Planning your renovation for after the new year can offer better deals when contractors are seeking more work.
For pricing or questions about the best times to save on your project, please contact our team at LPS Direct. We are always here to help with any inquiries you may have.
There are additional ways to cut costs during your kitchen design project. Consider handling some tasks yourself, such as painting walls or installing a tile backsplash. These do-it-yourself efforts can significantly increase your savings through sweat equity.
Another effective strategy is to sell your old kitchen items, like cabinets, refrigerators, and other appliances that are still in good working condition. If you’re skilled at online selling, this could also contribute a substantial amount to your budget. Every dollar truly counts!
