A decent kitchen fitter is a kitchen fitter that can fit any companies kitchens. They’re all much of a muchness.

DC area? Is that a typo? If not, try asking this question on the US site?

What do you get from IKEA?

IKEA is great for anyone starting out, furnishing a rental property or just not sure what they want. It may not be the best "last for ever" quality, but it does the job, looks reasonable and can be mixed with other pieces over time. It tends to be good quality for the money. Tastes change over time and while my parents invested as much as they could in the furniture they bought, as they wanted it to last a lifetime, I prefer to think I will be able to change and update easily in the future. I spent a fortune on some furniture a few years ago, that I would love to replace now. We didn´t have a nearby IKEA at the time unfortunately.

How to keep a kitchen sink area tidy...

In our new kitchen we got a double drawer dishwasher, so we always have space for dirty stuff. Our tea towels and hand towels live on a pull out rail in the left hand cupboard (where the rinse aid and washing tablets also live) and washing up brush, washing up liquid and sponges & cloths, live under the sink in a drawer in the right hand cupboard. Everything gets done in the dishwasher, other than roasting pans, saucepans etc, which get hand washed, drained for a while and then finished off with the tea towel and put way more or less right away. Other than that, there's only our expensive wine glasses, that get washed and dried immediately. All of which tends to keep the area quite clear all the time. I would say that the greatest difference has been made by the double dishwasher, we always used to have dirty stuff hanging around waiting, either for the dishwashing to finish, or waiting for it to be emptied of clean stuff.

Hi there, I sense that you are fed up with this. I feel your pain. Take a breath and put what has gone behind you. From where I am sitting it looks that you have a very spacious apartment, I'll bet it's great for socialising! To give you a more defined hallway I would extend the wall to the left of the door as far as the reveal wall on the other side of the kitchen. This wall then serves as a place for base units, some open shelving, fridge, etc and on the other side of the wall you can put up some hooks for coats etc and even a space to sit and put shoes on. This new wall then creates a galley kitchen. On the other side of the kitchen where the other reveal wall is, I would remove this, to gain the extra 300mm space that the wall is taking up. Now it will just be a case of trying out different options for what units go where. As it would be a galley kitchen I would try to not put up all tall wall mounted units as this will make the kitchen feel smaller. I appreciate you want the storage, but there is space in the rest of the apartment for less frequently used items like someone suggested earlier. For the end panels of the kitchen, I would instead of having a work top then the unit as the profile, I would continue the run of worktop down to the floor. I will see if I can find an image for you. The first image is what you could do one side and then have it open the other side, like the second image shows. This tall unit would be great as a larder or your Fridge/Freezer or for household stuff, like your ironing board and mop etc. If this is possible structurally then, take your new kitchen shape to a kitchen design team that you like and see what happens. Best of Luck!

Fiza, if you are going to rent out your home I wouldn’t fit an expensive kitchen unless your home is a large luxury home. After all tenants may not care for it the way you would. My kitchen is a 12 year old Wrens kitchen. It was fitted by my brother as Wrens didn’t do installations at that time. It’s okay, just that. Nothing special. It cost £5500 including appliances, worktop, sink etc. My sister recently had a new, fantastic quality German kitchen installed. Can’t remember the brand or the price (the quartz worktops cost £5000 alone). The difference is incredible and I think anyone will be able to see the difference immediately. Next time I will use an independent kitchen company as I have learnt they cater to all budgets, not just high end. I would like to add that Daisy has been a member of Houzz for many years and her advice has been invaluable. She has never advertised her business or pushed people to use it on this forum. The only time she does so is if members ask for her details and then she messages them privately. We get lots of spammers on Houzz, but Daisy isn’t one of them.
