Thank you for the replies and sketches. Sorry for the delay in replying, we are away at the moment and where we are doesn’t have the best internet connection. I do like the sketches, however it doesn’t really fit with the future plans of using the area as a second small sitting room in the future. Also, whilst I know it is definitely the trend to have large focal kitchens, I’m not sure we want to go any bigger, plus we wouldn’t want to access through the current lounge as that wouldn’t really work with where our TV cabinet and sofa currently are. I think we are wanting to keep all the walls as per our current plan, but just wondering if there are any changes we can make keeping this in mind? If not, we are going to proceed with the above. In terms of colour, as ours is smaller than the inspiration image, we want to slightly reduce the number of colours. The main units and unit surround the fridge will be light blue, with the small island being pink. The worktops will be a dark grey sparkly quartz. The flooring will will a light grey tile effect laminate and rather than using brown wall tiles, we are opting for light grey metro/subway tiles to match in with the floor. What do people think of this? I used an app just to give an indication of how the light grey looks (obviously not an exact match).

Your choice will depend very much on your budget. However, what you might like to consider is that pretty much all German & Italian kitchens use a standard quality carcase board which is a high density, water resistant chipboard. This differs from the bottom end of the UK market where cabinets utilise the cheapest possible board to keep prices low. Most German kitchens have 16mm thick cabinets, Italian kitchens are usually 18mm - but the board type, structure and quality are identical. In respect of engineering, many German companies will tell you their fittings are superior to the Italian products. This is usually nonsense because good Italian companies use the same interior fittings as the Germans. Whoever you use, the drawer systems to look out for are Blum or Grass. Both, incidentally, are Austrian not German! For internal fittings such as larder units, the best brand is Kessebohmer. This is a German company but the same fittings are widely used by the Italians as well. You might also like to know that it is widely rumoured that some higher end German companies source their lacquered doors from Italian manufacturers - Italian lacquer is after all the best in the World! I have provided below a list of both German and Italian brands for you to look at. However, this is by no means a comprehensive list. There are many independent companies, like Artform London, that market German and/or Italian kitchens from a vast range of manufacturers, some of whom the UK market has never, or hardly ever, even heard of. In our case, we source our cabinets from two Italian manufacturers, neither of which are included in this list because we market our cabinets under our own brand. By sourcing direct from less well known, but nevertheless excellent quality, cabinet manufacturers we, and other companies like us, are able to supply top quality cabinets that compete favourably on price with much lesser quality UK companies. If you would like a quotation, let us know! Some of the manufacturers are: GERMAN Bulthaup Poggenpohl Siematic Eggersman Leicht Hacker Nolte Schuller Nobilia ITALIAN Minotti Boffi Binova Valcucine Varenna Dada Poliform Arclinea Strato Mobalpa Scavolini

My cabinets are made from 18mm Egger board (Austrian Company) including back panels and available in over 120 colours and woodgrains, glue and dowelled rigid construction, I can specify Blum (Austrian again) or Hettich (German Company) soft close hinges and drawer boxes. The boards are cut and machined on a CNC machine (Italian) and assembled by a local company to very high tolerances. The cabinets have a choice of either 1mm or 2mm abs edging all round. Cabinets can be made to any width, height and depth to suit a customers requirements including being machined ready to accept the gola rails for 'true handleless' frontals, accessories can be fitted and all doors and drawer fronts attached. My doors are from various UK suppliers in all styles from traditional in-frame to contemporary styles, many of which can be made to any size and colour and if there's a grain pattern I can also 'book match' the doors and drawers. I'd be interested to know what the differences are compared to a German or Italian kitchen.

I would suggest widening your search area on such a significant buy. We used to live in Herts and ended up with a small Wiltshire cabinet maker. We’re now using someone about 50miles away for next kitchen. I search magazines and Houzz for kitchens I like and take a look at who made them. As Daisy suggests, also google bespoke kitchens to pick up others. I get a rough idea of what I want in terms of length of runs and any specific needs (eg island, pantry) and find most will give a ballpark figure.
