Attempting to design a kitchen extension without breaking the bank can feel like a minefield. No aspect of the process feels particularly pocket-friendly, and it can be hard to know where to skimp and where to splurge when every element feels so crucial.
"When designing a kitchen extension on a budget, it’s crucial to prioritise the elements that will stand the test of time," says Louisa Eggleston, Humphrey Munson’s Creative Director. Investing in high-quality workmanship at the beginning of building your dream kitchen extension idea will save you from years of constant repair work, meaning you'll be saving money in the long term. Splashing out on a showy marble countertop that you'll have to constantly worry about maintaining may be a less sensible use of your budget.
