Tips for making off the shelf kitchen look custom built
Comments (5)You can add crown molding to the top of the cabinets, and add another smaller piece of molding along the bottom of the cabinets as well. Consider under cabinet lighting (you see how beautiful it looks in the photo). If you are adding a new backsplash, a simple white subway tile will much match any counter top you select. You can add your electrical sockets up underneath your cabinets so you don't have to cut into any of your backsplash tiles. Try to make at least two of your cabinet doors glass fronts with lighting, like in the photo you attached. Also, try the Internet to find some nicer cabinet hardware at a discount (as opposed to Home Depot or Lowes). Good luck with your new kitchen!...See MoreA customers kitchen
Comments (38)Love this redo. One thing I would have done differently is to nix the vent above the stove. I don't think it blends well with the shaker caninets. I'd add more cabinets above the stove and put the microwave under the cabinets. Just my humble opinion. So fresh and great update!...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 MoreOur Kitchen Design - what's wrong with it?
Comments (64)Although the kitchen is white, it is set into a return where there is little direct light from the very large window which casts shadows in the space making even a white kitchen look sombre by contrast. I would suggest more powerful down lights at least 13W that would highlight and reflected off the stunning gloss units. Additionally you could add plinth lighting under the kitchen units. Cool white to keep it minimalist or RGB ribbon (red, green, blue, which would allow you to colour mix) which can give the kitchen a whole spectrum of characters depending on the colour you choose or both RGB and W to keep your options open. Ribbon light is also a low cost way to improve this space. Ensure you get nothing lower than 9W per metre as it may not have enough light output against the natural light from the window....See MoreVanessa Christine
