Selecting cheap kitchens can be a bit of a minefield, where we are lucky today is in the fact that there are so many of these cheap kitchens available.
If you really want to buy a cut priced kitchen then you will want to check out the Internet for the lowest prices.
Given that there has been somewhat of a recession people are reluctant to spend money and as a result businesses are not getting enough business through the door, the results of this are lots of sales and lots of cut priced offerings.
If you do go out to look at cheap kitchens just remember that you can smarten them up by adding things like expensive worktops or fancy taps on the sink, you have to be careful here mind you as these can sometimes be extremely pricey.
My mum recently wanted to remodel her kitchen but didn't want to spend too much so what we did was this, we took off the old counter tops and renewed them with fake marble laminated tops, we changed the taps for a modern pillar tap and we changed all of the doors on the carcasses.
This saved an enormous amount of money as there is a lot of work taking out the old carcasses and fixing new ones but once the doors were on you really wouldn't know that she hadn't had a whole new kitchen.
What can really brighten the room up and make all of the units look better is if you employ some strategic lighting, my mom had an electrician to put some spot lights in, some over the main work areas and some to point to the various features which were in the room, this looked really effective and helped achieve a stylish look.
For the flooring, the best solution is tiles but the trouble with this is it can be expensive and labour intensive so what we did in my mums case was to get some laminate flooring which looked exactly like tiles, we didn't pay a lot for this and it was a breeze to fit and I managed it myself, the resulting floor looks like it has tiles on it but it is flat, smooth and very easy to keep clean and I have a feeling that it will look very good for years.
