Small Kitchen Renovations

If you live in an apartment or own a small unit, you probably feel like your kitchen doesn’t have enough space. But with the right design choices, you can turn a small kitchen into something practical, modern and easy to cook in. Small kitchen renovations don’t need to be stressful or overly expensive. You just need the right plan in place, a clear budget, and a few clever space saving ideas.

When we help with smaller kitchen remodels, we always start by talking about how you actually use your space. Do you need more storage, or do you prefer more bench area? This will guide what kind of layout will work. We will also help you choose materials that fit within your budget while still looking great. Our approach is simple, we will listen to what you want and then we will do our best to make it happen.

Smart And Affordable Design Options

The cost of small kitchen renovations will depend on things like layout changes, materials and appliances. If you are happy with your existing layout but just want to upgrade cabinets and benchtops, that will keep costs lower. But if you want to move plumbing or electrical outlets, this usually adds to the budget.

5 Design choices to keep renovation costs low

1. Keep the same layout without moving any plumbing, electricity or walls
2. Reface cabinet doors instead of replacing the whole unit
3. Use light colours on cabinets and walls to make the space feel bigger
4. Pick laminate or engineered stone for benchtops instead of marble or granite
5. Install pull-out shelves or corner units to avoid wasted space

These choices help you stay within budget without compromising on style. And because we are reliable and transparent with pricing, you’ll always know where your money is going.

How To Keep Your Renovation Budget Under Control

Costs can easily climb higher if there are last minute changes. To avoid that, we recommend finalising your layout and design choices early. We know sometimes you might change your mind, and we will do our best to accommodate that, but every change can have an effect on the cost.

Our pricing is transparent so when we give you a final quote you will never pay any more than that, unless of course you change your mind after we’ve already ordered the materials.
