Q. I'd like to buy a new kitchen but my available budget doesn't come close to getting me what I want. What can I do?
A. There's a lot you can do. Think more about what you are trying to achieve than what you think you should buy. Remember that if you buy from a big name you may well be paying a significant premium for a name badge.
When choosing a kitchen do remember that there are many local smaller companies offering great design services, hand-building bespoke kitchens, or simply helping you to get the best that is available on the market for your purposes. You may find following this route immediately brings your plans within budget without any compromise. Winchester Oak, as part of Winchester Floor Sanding based in Alresford make high quality bespoke kitchens at very reasonable prices, with different options for differing budgets. Both Peter Cerny (Romsey) and Nick Richards (Nicholas Richards Design, Milford on Sea) are independent kitchen designers/builders/fitters, who can take on as much or as little of a project
as you might want.
