The thaughts on colours as of now are distributed. do you think the kitchen style plays a factor. ie slab doors or more classical designs like shaker suot in different ways.

Contemporary gloss/matt kitchens always look cool.

Kitchen design - drawer line vs high line units
Q

I also think it depends on the style of the kitchen. A traditional kitchen can look very nice with drawerline units all round but a modern handle less for example would look better with a couple of big drawer units IMO The good thing about drawerline is the drawers do not really get in the way of things you want to put on the shelf below unless the item is very tall. The bad thing is if you have drawline all round most of the drawer could possibly end up filled with junk seeing as they are not very tall drawer ( mainly used for cutlery). The big pan drawer units are great for storage. Lots of inserts can go in them to get yourself ultra organised and the drawers slides out for easy access as opposed to a shelf unit where you have to reach into the unit to get what you want. As already said if you feel you have use for extra cutlery drawers but do not want the aesthetics of a drawline go for internal drawers

Thank you that's very helpful. Unhelpfully we are after something inbetween. We have an edwardian end terrace so contemporary wouldn't really work but equally don't want it too cottagey/twee! Grey was one of the options and we want a look that doesn't date so we may be on the right track after all! Thank you.

I love both, and they each have their good points and are suited to different settings. As a designer, though, I often prefer the Shaker designs - I don't know why, but they often seem to provide a bit more scope for creativity! Caldicot Kitchens

Solid wood floor typically isn't recommended in a kitchen, the changes in temperature and humidity can cause the floor to expand and contract. Having said that my brother had parquet fitted 3 years ago in the whole of downstairs and it hasn't been an issue at all (so far!) . It is a large room though with lots of ventilation, extraction, door openings etc. Engineered wood is recommended however, it may still contract etc but only by a minimal amount and the small expansion gap left around the perimeter is sufficient. You would still need to mop up any spills straightaway and I would recommend ordering slightly over the recommended surplus amount. I'm not sure if this affects all engineered floors (or whether I chose badly so may be worth asking!) but I had a few knots in some of the planks which were "filled" by the manufacturer and over time the Hoover etc knocks out the "filler" which doesn't look great so basically if I was doing it again I would just discard any planks with knots in if you want the floor to remain looking good. i really like some of the LVT's but they do differ enormously even within the same brand as to what looks realistic. I might consider the architecture of the building with LVT, what period is it?, personally I would use the "design strips" between the planks to make it look more realistic. Is the kitchen already fitted? I ask as my mum had LVT fitted when she had her kitchen done and the planks just run up to the plinths on the units finished with a line of mastic which personally I'm not keen on. i don't think you can go wrong with a herringbone or chevron (which I slightly prefer) floor though. They're a classic and tend to make a space feel larger (your eyes aren't drawn to the straight lines of planks). I don't know the layout of the kitchen and whether you have an island but the pattern can tend to work in either direction whereas planks sometimes won't. I'm also not keen on "washing" wood floors too frequently but given there aren't pets that shouldn't be a concern. good luck!
