My perfect kitchen. Lovely.

Hi! My husband and I were introduced to Fenix NTM as a cabinet finish (for its soft touch, anti-fingerprint, and anti-scratch properties, and overall durability). However, our GC's cabinet maker uses something called Zenit by Alvic (this is a matt finish) and Syncron by Alvic (this includes a wood-look finish). Does anyone have experience with either of these finishes for the kitchen and bathrooms, please? We're primarily concerned with the finish being (i) durable (our wood and high-gloss paint cabinets have worn terribly); (ii) anti-fingerprints; and (iii) anti-scratch. Thank you so much for any guidance!

I would have the table against the wall (opposite window) with either a bench of built in seating, this way you could have space for a chair / sofa on the opposite aide. If you used a bench, you could then put the table centrally for occasions (xmas etc). I think a central feature light would still work with wall lights to table area.

I guess there may be different opinions on this one. An architect is a no for me. I don’t think they’re into the design and space saving issues. In fact I’ve seen kitchen plans done by architects that have left a lot to be desired. Very poor. Interior Designer and Custom Cabinet Maker would be the route I’d go down but if you’re restricted on budget the Interior Design IMO is the one who is going to be the most expensive for ideas. A quote from the cabinet maker may be free. I would do a huge amount of homework first. You need to look around, specifically online and see what you like. No use someone else saying this fits if you don’t even like it. Are we talking about all the rooms here or just a specific room?
