Key Takeaways

• Opting for ready-to-assemble kitchen cabinets can cut cabinetry costs in half and save on installation expenses.
• Choose functional and durable benchtops, such as stone or laminate, which are both long-lasting and affordable.
• Save on splashbacks by selecting affordable but stylish tiles, like mosaic or feature tiles, instead of more expensive options.
• Shopping at discount centres can significantly reduce renovation costs while still providing quality kitchen products at lower prices.
• Focusing on cost-effective materials and suppliers ensures a budget-friendly kitchen renovation without sacrificing quality​.

1. Choose pre-assembled kitchen cabinets

Kitchen cabinets occupy almost 60% of the surface area of a kitchen. Installing new cabinets often proves to be the biggest cost in a kitchen renovation. However, you can always opt for pre-assembled cabinets to cut down costs.

There are countless reasons to choose pre-assembled kitchen cabinets. They typically cost half the price of custom cabinets. Moreover, they are easy to install, so you’ll save further on installation costs.

If you’re looking for quality pre-assembled kitchen cabinets in Perth, consider Ross’s Discount Home Centre. We offer a full range of cabinets, including wall cabinets, base cabinets and pantry cabinets. Our superior-grade cabinets are designed to last a lifetime; they are backed by manufacturer’s warranties and offer unmatched value for money.

2. Go with a functional benchtop

Benchtops are probably the most used and the most functional element of any kitchen in Perth. If you’re replacing or updating your benchtop, always choose something that is functional and built to last. There’s no point choosing a fancy benchtop just to have it replaced after a couple of years.

When it comes to functional and durable benchtops, stone benchtops and laminate benchtops are excellent choices. If you’re not sure which is best for your budget, our stone bench vs. laminate comparison will help you make an informed decision. Whichever you decide, you’ll find a range of kitchen benchtops at our store. Our affordable benchtops are engineered to the best standards of quality, and they are incredibly durable. They’re also are available in a range of colours and designs, so you can always complement the overall style of your kitchen.

3. Save on your splashback

Splashbacks make a fantastic addition to any Perth kitchen—not only do they add visual appeal, but they also protect your walls from stains and spills. However, many people overspend on high-end kitchen tiles or materials for their splashback when affordable options can look just as stunning.

At Ross’s Discount Home Centre, we offer a wide range of affordable splashback tiles, including dynamic mosaic tiles, classic subway tiles, and bold feature tiles, which are perfect for splashbacks. Plus, with the help of our guide, you can tile a kitchen splashback yourself and save even more! Our wall tiles are easy to install, simple to clean, and built to last a lifetime.
