Need help with my kitchen
Q

Old thread but I've been searching for the same answer... fast forward a couple of months and a few trials and I've found Johnstone's Olive It PPG1032-3 is a near perfect match. Currently repainting my oak kitchen doors & end panels with it to match new Heritage/tiverton Sage pelmets and cornices. Hopefully that helps someone.

I meant on the white doors you can see watermarks, sometimes. Depending on the light. But otherwise they just look clean and without marks. Funnily enough, after I replied to you, I wiped some finger marks off the black doors and where the doors were wet from wiping, all kinds of marks showed up that you normally never see. And you don't see them on dry doors at all. They were probably dog nose marks, but you can't see those at all on dry doors 🤷🏼‍♀️ I just wanted a white peninsula and black oak tall cabinets. The doors needed to be a specific height to fit between the floor and the steel beam. Hacker does made to measure more easily than other brands. So that's why the black doors are from Hacker, not Next. And the handleless fronts of Next feel really nice, slightly rounded at the edges and enough space for fingers. I have arthritis in my fingers so tested loads of handleless kitchens. Most were too sharp around the edge (ouch) or did not have enough space to put your fingers comfortably around the front. If you can try out different brands or models, you'll know what I mean. I don't know how much spots or 'dirt' black Next doors will show. But wiping with a damp cloth is a quick and easy solution. Last week I was in a home where they had a gloss cream kitchen and that showed loads of finger marks and I don't know what else, but I do know that I'd much rather have my non glossy kitchen doors 😉 Our kitchen fitter did say that he loves working with Hacker, because of the quality and finish. I think the full name is Hacker Systemat. But I love both cabinets and as I said: would choose either or both brands again.

i'd love some new kitchen flooring with resilience (that's not vinyl)
Q

Hi Tile without UFH is very cold. You mention not wanting vinyl, but I'm assuming you mean vinyl on a roll (a bit like lino) and so I'd propose Luxury Vinyl Tiles. It is highly durable, often compared to the flooring laid at supermarkets which has high amounts of traffic. It is warmer to the touch than other alternatives such as laminate or tiles and resistant to water. They often come in stone effect or wood effect- and come as tongue and groove planks. You could also consider engineered wood but it needs alot of care.

How can I love my kitchen corners and bins?
Q

You need to make the most of a corner situation. When planning a corner have a 900 x 900 L shaped carcase as opposed to a straight carcase. By doing this you will not have to kneel to access the corner as both doors will open to allow you full and easy access. You won’t need a corner mechanism in one. Some of them are very expensive and waste essential space. Integral bins IMO are expensive. Here is what I mean with the 900L.
