What can we do with our kitchen cabinets?
Comments (25)We have also just installed our diy-kitchens kitchen and are very happy with the results. Like you, we need to maximise the storage space and awkward layout and could do so with the wide range of cabinet sizes available. It probably took us a total of a week full time to design it properly (= a few weekends a month spread over 3 months), but this included changing the whole layout of electric cables & sockets & gas and water pipes and a toilet waste pipe running through the kitchen. You have to be methodical with designing a kitchen but diy-kitchens do have a guide to planning a kitchen and working out what layout suits you best. We did the fitting on the weekend which also took 3 weeks (including some clever fitting to get access to the meters and stop cock), but it meant we could maximise the storage space. For about 20 carcasses and end panels, plinths etc but not including appliances we spent £7k on solid wood painted shaker range Linwood....See MoreWhat are you glad you put in your kitchen, and what can you do without
Comments (123)Thank you for everyone's comments, had no idea this thread would prove so popular when I started it. We are plastering this week and we have finally bought most things for the kitchen. I did find some real 'finds' though if anyone is looking. Not sure where you are based, but regarding electrical goods we researched all our own and narrowed down our list, and once we had that we looked online for the best prices for each appliance. Instead of buying from lots of different places we took it to Bentalls, who not only matched, but also cost us less, and beat some online prices with a good 'deal' price they also then will hold on to them until you need them, but if anything goes wrong you have 'bentalls' rather than several online dealers to return items to. RDO Appliances also do this if there is one near you, but i'd advise you to research prices first. Another thing we found was inserts for the kitchens. Through our kitchen supplier these were expensive, bin inserts, pull out drawers, pull out larders, even the pop up sockets, sourced seperately through ebay and online we managed to save quite a lot of money by doing this, so our fitter will still have the right things on the day, but we are not getting the inserts from the supplier. What else..... erm kitchen worktop, unbelievably the exact same worktop, same material, same cut outs etc.. same sizes differed between suppliers by 3k! so do shop around for your quartz and granite....See MoreDo you guys think Cornforth White masonry will work?
Comments (19)Thanks all for your kind replies. :) tbh, I wasn’t quite sure about the two-tone approach and think we should go for one colour for window frames and masonry. I do like white but want to avoid the blue-ish hue (?) you get with brilliant white, but at the same time also the ridiculous F&B prices. :-) I read on here that so called Trade white paints don’t possess that ’blue’ but if I remember correctly, Dulux Trade is still called Brilliant White. I’m confused......See MoreAsking for advice to transform kitchen/diner in 1930s house
Comments (8)Hi, That is very excessive. But currently builders are charging a premium due to the demand I am told by my architect. We are just about to commence our 3m rear extension which involved refurb of the current kitchen and dining as well (the wall between them is already down) but we will be putting in utility room and downstairs bathroom as well in the configuration with full width bifold on a box frame and underfloor heating. The build cost alone for this is about 50K (exc vat) and then we have factored in about 20-25k for finishing including kitchen. And this is in SW London. So my advise is to shop around and ask as many builders. We had quotes as high as 80k just for the build but the average ballpark was about 65....See MoreBlack and Milk | Interior Design | London
