Saving tips:
For the handy do-it-yourselfer
Installing a kitchen is diverse and challenging work, so it is not advisable to install your kitchen yourself. Are you a handy do-it-yourselfer looking to cut costs? Consider helping the specialist. Ask the specialist which chores you can handle yourself. That saves the specialist time and your money!
Old kitchen
When there is a new kitchen installed, you have to say goodbye to your old kitchen in most cases. Do not immediately take it to the dump, but try to sell the kitchen! Nowadays, this can be done quickly and easily via the internet. Perhaps the kitchen could be used in a utility room or shed. In this case, your old kitchen will still bring in money, and you will not pay any disposal costs.
Built-in equipment
Think about whether you want to have the equipment built-in or buy it separately. For example, a built-in coffee maker or combi-microwave is much more expensive than a separate one.
