Need help with kitchen cabinet measurements .
Comments (6)http://www.crown-imperial.co.uk/kitchen/technical/dimensions.aspx This is a link to a typical British manufacture - all sizes are in millimetres not inches over here in UK and height of extractors above hobs are dependant on type of hob and manufactures guidelines for appliance but typically induction 450mm clearance , electric solid plate or ceramic / halogen 650mm clearance , gas 750mm clearance. aga's and similar can't have anything deeper than 338mm over them and require (mostly ) 750mm clearance . The difference between upper and base cabinets it usually determined by the height of the tall cabinets. European manufacturers have a vast array of all sorts of sizes !! Hope that helps a bit too !!...See MoreGot 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 MoreAdding more cabinets to kitchen - doors discontinued -help!
Comments (8)How about a painted shaker style door? The one I have attached shows how a painted can contrast with a wood finish. This style has quite wide stiles and rails (the raised parts), like yours, and would be a good match I think. As they are not going to be next to each other, a small difference will not really be noticeable....See MoreKitchen extractor hood on 4m-high wall
Comments (9)As well as a chimney style you could have a contemporary extractor or a contemporary canopy or hide the extractor in a cabinet or put the extractor in the ceiling. You have lots of options. We would be happy to talk these through with you and to help with other aspects of your kitchen design. Kind regards Daniel from Townhouse Design...See MoreLiz
