Two-way swing kitchen cabinet door

3 years ago

Hello, we inherited the old, DIY kitchen from the previous owners and will have to live with it for now. I am slowly beautifying it and need to remove the cabinet doors, but they aren't on the hinges! There is no way to access the pins from above or underneath the cabinets. Has anyone dealt with the similar type? Thanks

Do they not unscrew from the plate on the top of the door?

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.

Just reading the comments and suggestions on here shows the capacity for lots of variations possible for a design in this size of space. Have you considered investing some time working with one designer - who you can work with to produce a layout that ticks your boxes and then shopping around with the finished plans - (this is the kind of service we provide ) it may be a bit less confusing than several people ‘having a go ‘ - although it’s always great to get others opinions on Houzz, and of course it’s lovely that they are offering you this help at no cost. But might be worth considering, as you will be living with the results for a long time!

Navy or Two Tone kitchen dilemma!

I apologise if you’ve done this already but if you look on the Houzz photos section and select kitchens and then under area select “all Denmark” you will see lots of beautiful kitchens that I think capture the look you are trying to achieve. I’m going to have to agree with Jonathan and Sonia that very few of them are navy or grey. The Scandinavian look is about lightness and natural materials and so wood and white feature very strongly. I think that wood gives great warmth and interest in a kitchen and it is certainly on the way back but you can only really have wooden floor and units if there is a substantial difference in the colour tone. E.g a darker wood unit with a paler wood floor. Combined with white, it could look very timeless. If you did opt for a wood floor and some (maybe not all) white units, you could then go a bit darker with your worktops. Happy browsing!

Two-tone kitchen or one colour?
Q

Hi Aisling There is a lot of good advice here and the only thing I would add is that when I re-did my kitchen I asked myself a couple of basic questions; the first being did I intend to stay in the house - in my case the answer was yes, the second question was how often was I going to 'do' the kitchen. Given the expense, enviromental considerations etc I estimated I wanted my kitchen to last 15/20 years. With this in mind I had to decide if a two tone kitchen would date and simply look mis-matched in 5 years time as trends moved on. For me the choice was simply I decided on one colour, in a classic design and added 'modern'' touches/colour via lighting, handles, tap, applicances i.e. kettle, toaster which are less expensive to change if you want to ring in the changes. Ps. a great place to purchase handles of all sorts is More Handles Limited, they have two showroom where you can browse, an online website and brilliant customer service. Good luck with the re-do.

Sometimes if it’s a screw the screw head deteriorates over time making it difficult to get them out. Well done.
