The average homeowner in the UK and Ireland updates their kitchen every 13 years, according to Houzz.co.uk's UK and Ireland Kitchen Trends Report.

The research, which included a survey of more than 2,800 UK and Irish homeowners on Houzz, also found that those planning to re-do their kitchens this year are planning to 'go big', with 49% investing in substantial upgrades and more than a fifth adding an extension.

Nearly half of homeowners – 48% - were budgeting £5k to £20k for their project, while 21% were estimating spending £21k to £40k and 1% budget in excess of £100,000.

Space was also key – with 64% of those working on a kitchen project, or planning one in the next year, said they were looking to increase the square footage of their space.
