Want to save a lot of money when buying a new one?kitchens? Then you should think everything through carefully and eliminate all unnecessary frills. With a cool, balanced approach, you can get significant savings! And we will help you with this. Recently, the world has been overwhelmed by many events that cause crisis situations, as well as various problems, including financial ones. Be that as it may, life still goes on and, despite the fall of the ruble, we still make purchases. Kitchens are no exception, but in the current reality, everyone is trying to save more carefully than before. Therefore, we have prepared a short excursion that will tell you what can be neglected, and where you should not skimp, so as not to miscalculate.
Layout
The most important point when creating a kitchen isa convenient and thought-out layout down to every centimeter. And it is at this stage that you can save a lot by avoiding expensive options for this very layout when planning. If possible, try to avoid U-shaped and L-shaped arrangements, because in this case you will need a lot of furniture, including corner cabinets with carousel-type drawers, and with them expensive fittings. For greater savings, it is better to consider a linear layout or an option with a bar counter, which is also very functional and compact. But here it is important to think through the design down to the smallest detail so that ergonomics do not suffer.
Artur Guchigov, Mobalpa Export Manager for Russiaand CIS: — First of all, the cost depends on the facade material. For example, laminate is cheaper than varnish, acrylic or solid wood. Today, our factory has melamine facades under glossy varnish, which are 50 percent cheaper than glossy varnish, but look the same. This is the Melia model, which is now the most popular in Europe. You can also save money by choosing blind facades instead of glass ones. Our factory's products allow you to mix different materials and models. For example, you can make a kitchen cheaper if the upper bases are made with acrylic finishing, and the lower ones are made of laminate. This way, you can create a unique design and fit into your budget. Keep in mind that pull-out elements are more expensive than simple hinged facades. mobalpa.com
Material and design of facades
Refusing to do so will allow you to save significantlynatural wood in favor of more affordable options. MDF-based facades are inexpensive, durable and easy to maintain, and their price varies depending on the cladding. Modules with PVC film application will be the most budget-friendly, but those covered with plastic or varnish will be noticeably more expensive. The cheapest options are made of film chipboard. At the same time, the same chipboard, but covered with varnish, will be several times more expensive. However, whether it is a budget model or a premium kitchen, a self-respecting manufacturer does not make a difference in their quality. Even cheap options are made in accordance with all standards, so the furniture will serve for many years, while provided with a long-term guarantee. Therefore, in pursuit of savings, do not be afraid to pay a little extra for quality. If glass inserts, aluminum frames and stained glass windows on the facades are not vital elements for you, you can also refuse them. And so that the kitchen does not become poor and dull, you can order doors in different colors. By the way, for aesthetics, you can add open facades and shelves, which in addition to a stylish look will also make the kitchen cheaper.
Table top
Here the main principle is againreplacing expensive materials with more affordable ones. For lovers of natural stone, it is better to consider artificial stone as an alternative, especially since it is in no way inferior, and in some qualities even surpasses its natural counterpart. Despite the stylish and original appearance, solid wood, glass and metal are quite whimsical materials both in operation and in maintenance. But they cannot boast of a low price. And if countertops made of MDF, fiberboard and chipboard are inexpensive, this does not mean that they are worse. In comparison with wood and glass, they are even better both in use and in maintenance. In addition, they have a huge model range with a large number of textures and colors. But in any case, pay attention to the ends of the countertops so that they are sealed, without chips and microcracks. Since moisture is destructive for inexpensive MDF, fiberboard and chipboard. If it gets inside the material, it will swell and deform, and this can no longer be eliminated. Artur Guchigov, Mobalpa export manager for Russia and the CIS: - Laminate and compact laminate are very popular in Europe today, as this product can imitate all types of stone, wood and other materials, while it is much cheaper and at the same time of excellent quality and pleasant to the touch. mobalpa.com
High quality fittings
All fittings must be made of good,durable metal. Otherwise, such seemingly insignificant details as shock absorbers, closers or cabinet hinges can become a huge problem. Therefore, in order for everything to serve for a long time and work like a clock, so that the drawers slide out easily, and the doors close quietly and smoothly, do not save on this under any circumstances. At the same time, this does not mean that you need to buy the most expensive and sophisticated options. It will be enough, having made sure of the quality of the fittings, to choose a standard set. And with their huge assortment, few people will be able to distinguish whether it is a factory stamping or hand-made handles.
Drawer Organizers
Filling kitchen drawers directlyproportionally to the reduction of your budget. But it is these things that can significantly simplify your life and help in the competent arrangement of the kitchen, and this is almost priceless. Thanks to drawer organizers, order and cleanliness of the workspace will be achieved quickly and easily. Bottle holders, inserts, trays and dividers will greatly facilitate kitchen routine, but do not forget about their cost. To save money, it is better not to buy expensive exclusive organizers made of metal or natural wood, but to get plastic models. Especially considering the fact that they are several times cheaper.
