3 new kitchen designs under £20,000

May 2024

The impact of a well-designed kitchen is something which cannot be underestimated. Not only does it showcase your personal style and create an aesthetically pleasing space you love to be in, a well-designed kitchen also allows you to enjoy a functional space that caters to your lifestyle - whether you’re a couple who loves to entertain guests, or have a busy family home with growing children to consider.

However, when the time comes to renovate your kitchen, we know that it can be tricky defining a reasonable budget while getting a kitchen that ticks all the boxes. To help you stay on track and keep your home renovations affordable, we’ve shared three stylish kitchen designs which can be achieved for less than £20,000…


Modern minimalism for a small budget

Ideal for a small space and a modest budget, this L-shaped kitchen features a stylish minimalist aesthetic, with clean lines and an uncluttered space. The laminate worktop and backsplash bring the homely warmth of natural wood in a durable and cost-effective material, while the inclusion of an induction hob and dishwasher allow you to enjoy state-of-the-art appliances at a reasonable price.

Although the colour palette and finish can be customised to your unique style, we love the simplicity of grey and white units, paired with black handles and a light wood for a nod to the popular Scandi interior design trend.

Included in the price of £6,600:

  • Single oven

  • Induction hob

  • Chimney hood

  • Dishwasher

  • Fridge freezer

  • Sink and tap

  • Laminate worktop

  • Upstands

Rustic charm for a medium budget

If you have a reasonably sized kitchen and are looking to create a sociable space in the hub of your home, this U-shaped layout is a perfect choice. The addition of a peninsula provides extra worktop space to the rear of the kitchen, while offering a stylish breakfast bar overlooking the induction hob - ideal for entertaining guests or supervising little ones while you cook.

In this particular design, the laminate finish on the worktop and peninsula creates a rustic look and feel with its natural wood grain, while the sleek matt blue cabinets bring a pop of colour to the space. Finally, the silgranite sink, ceiling cooker hood and combination microwave add practicality without compromising on the overall aesthetic.

Included in the price of £12,000:

  • Single oven

  • Combination microwave

  • Ceiling hood

  • Induction hob

  • Dishwasher

  • Fridge freezer

  • Silgranite sink

  • Tap

  • Laminate worktop

  • Upstands

Luxury kitchen for a larger budget

If you have a spacious kitchen and a more generous budget, this contemporary design offers luxury and functionality without costing the earth. The large kitchen island is a standout feature of this layout, and includes a stylish breakfast bar for relaxed seating.

With this kitchen, you can benefit from modern features that add functionality without compromising on the room’s aesthetics. For instance, the vented hob removes the need for a bulky cooker hood to make preparing meals and entertaining guests seamless, while the warming drawer offers a practical addition for busy lifestyles.

We love the modern visual elements of this kitchen, with its handleless black matt cabinets and under unit lighting for an effortless finish that exudes luxury, not to mention the grey laminate worktops and backsplash, which create a beautiful contrast between the light wood touches and the moody black tones.

Included in the price of £18,500:

  • Single oven

  • Combination microwave

  • Warming drawer

  • Venting hob

  • Dishwasher

  • Fridge

  • Freezer

  • Silgranite sink
