Got Kitchen Cabinets colours wrong, need help.....
Comments (51)Dear Azfar, I think your units are lovely, very sophisticated and much nicer than white. Your units and work tops are very similar to those I have in my kitchen, which also have black granite tops. I also have a wooden floor of a similar shade, please don't change this, it is lovely. I was aware when I had my kitchen fitted that the units appeared darker than in the showroom but this was due entirely to the colour of the walls they were installed on. To lift the units, and celebrate their beautiful colour, you should paint your walls a darker and contrasting colour, I have chosen a really shocking pink, Rock Candy, but there lots of options. The showroom I saw my units in used a burgundy colour, too dark for my Victorian kitchen. There are so many colour options which don't have to be expensive, play around with a few tester pots and see which you prefer. This is by far the cheapest option, and I'm sure you'll fall in love with your kitchen units again once your units are allowed to stand out. Incidentally your unit colour helps to visually integrate your stainless steel 'fridge, another reason to stick with it. If you want to add units in the future you could pick up on your new wall colour for a very stylish look....See MoreHob in a corner - help needed with extraction options please
Comments (16)Unless you like to cook a lot of fry-up's I think a fairly powerful extractor fan should still be effective even when set back a bit. If you really want to position it over the hob you could have a contractor build in a robust boxed in false wall onto which you could have a normal 60 or 50cm wide extractor hood mounted. It would have to be anchored well to support the weight, the electrician would need to allow more power cable and a longer flue but it shouldn't be all that expensive or difficult to do. You'd probably want to make the cupboard next to it an open one or check carefully that the door is still functional....See MoreFreshening Up Kitchen.. colour options
Comments (11)Update - the OH successfully sprayed the pine table using Valspar exact match paint, from B&Q where they can mix paint to match any colour you want - in this case it was Neptune Salt - very successfully and it's given a great finish. He just diluted it with approx 10% water. I have to say, everything he's sprayed has worked out really well. He originally started to do it because we wanted to update the kitchen cabinet door colour and a local place quoted us £40 per door - not to mention plinths and side panels, so the cost was prohibitively expensive. So he thought he'd have a go himself. That said, he did spend about £450'ish on the gun, he'd read bad reviews about some of the cheaper guns. But we more than covered the cost against the cost to have them done locally....See MoreHelp with new porch door/window options
Comments (5)The best way to get a colour match would be to use the same RAL colour. However, if you don't know what RAL colour your existing windows are, we can send you out a colour sample of our light silver metallic and dark silver metallic shades and you can see if they match. Let me know if this is something you'd be interested in and I can get some samples sent out to you. Thanks, Robyn...See MoreLaura Hoyland
