Over the years your kitchen goes through a lot of changes. Sometimes it's a good idea to take a step back and start from the basics. To help you, we've collected 3 top tips, that the professionals swear by, to get that dream kitchen-on any budget.

1. Play with the layout
   Having a low budget isn't the end of the world, but it does mean you can't afford a total rehaul of your appliances every time it takes your fancy. Instead, focus on shifting the layout and colours, to give the look of a brand new kitchen, without the cost. Consider moving large pieces of furniture such as fridges and washers, but always keep in mind the shape of the room afterwards. Try and create as much breathable space as possible, and think about the path you take when walking around- all good designers know that practicality comes first!
2. Plan for mess
   Keeping the kitchen clean is a chore, but the more you factor in common household cleaning into the design- the less likely it is to be a problem when the time comes. Stuff as many organisers and storage units as you can into the space- think about all the different things that will need to be stored. Don't forget cleaning supplies themselves!
3. Break the mould
   White kitchens can look amazing, but as soon as you step away from that world the kitchen suddenly becomes a way more exciting place. Experiment with colours, styles and textures. There's something fun to fit every personality and every kitchen!
