People looking to stay in their properties during the economic climate could still update their homes by getting a kitchen sink, it has been suggested. Interior designer George Bond noted that while a large-scale kitchen renovation can cost anywhere between 4,000 and 6,000, home improvements can be achieved for a cheaper price, the Journal reports. A makeover can certainly be achieved for under 3,000 with new doors, handles, worktops, sinks and taps from many of the high street suppliers, he remarked. Installing new tiles for kitchen floors and walls is an option for those that are unable to afford replacement doors and worktops, Mr Bond added. People were advised to take samples home if they can to ensure they match the current design of the property owners kitchen. Those looking to purchase a new basin for their home could benefit from a Franke undermount kitchen sink, which is designed to hold more items than a conventional bowl.
