  • Hinges – Hardware of the kitchen cabinets Brooklyn such as old hinges and handles can be changed. You may select either European hinges or traditional hinges.

Kitchens Replacement Versus New

 

Are you thinking of redesigning your kitchen this year? Remember to shop around and get as many quotes as possible, at least three. The cost of the design and installation can vary widely depending on where you live in the UK, London being the most expensive whilst west Wales being the cheapest area.

 

Storage

Kitchens always seem to have not enough storage space-

 

Not enough – if you don’t have enough space for everything you need to store in your kitchen, consider creating a suspended saucepan rack that makes use of ceiling space. Also the tops of kitchen wall units can be used as extra shelf and storage space, though they are prone to dust. (Who wants to clean on top of cupboards?)

Too much – a room can be too large; some kitchens are designed with too many cupboards. You will always find items to fit the space available. Throw out unused gifts and gadgets and any sell-by date items, this can often halve your tins and packets within your cupboards. Walls and walls of cupboards are unnecessary in a kitchen and getting rid of some may much needed space for a breakfast bar or another appliance.

 

Replacement kitchen vs replacement doors

If you are happy with the layout of your appliances and storage within your kitchen, then replacing you kitchen doors may be more cost-effective than full replacement. Changing a few elements from the list below will give your kitchen a new fresh look:

Re-tiling or replacing splash-backs with melamine faced chipboard. There are now loads of designs.

Changing door handles

Adding wicker baskets to make the room seem rustic

Painting cupboard doors

Changing doors (some companies do a replacement door fitting service)

Changing work tops adding granite or solid wood to boost your overall look.

Add new elements e.g. Stainless steel cooker hood, new sink, try an under mounted sink with new modern taps.

Changing appliances so they are integrated not stand alone appliances.

 

The magic triangle

A lot is said about the ‘golden triangle’ method of kitchen design and there are quite a few variations on these themes, but common sense should be used, equipment and work areas should be grouped together to allow the user to operate effectively and efficiently while cooking.

 

The problem with the triangle theory is that husbands and wife’s rate their most used equipment differently. Some would choose the cooker, refrigerator and sink, others might say that the dishwasher or microwave is their most used items. You may find that it is too cost restrictive to move the plumbing for a sink or dishwasher, so these items should be the focal point of the ‘triangle’.

 

If you plan to install a brand new kitchen think before you decide to do it yourself because: bad kitchen installation can ruin an expensive kitchen. In my opinion always get a firm of professionals in.

Kitchen Refurbishment : the Do’s and Don’ts

We all like the idea of a brand new kitchen in our home. A room where you spend time cooking, relaxing and socialising. All these things are less likely if your kitchen is looking a little drab. Ask yourself: When did my kitchen have a good face-lift?

The kitchen is often one of the most expensive areas within a home to maintain, update and install, which is why you want to get things right when you decide for a change. This article will give advice on ‘Do’s’ and ‘Don’ts’ to bear in mind when you are thinking of updating your existing kitchen.

 

Do’s

1. When thinking about a kitchen refurbishment, strategically think through which areas you have budgeted for and aim to improve. Are you looking to do a small scale refurbishment or change everything?

2. Get the opinion of someone else on which areas could be improved within the kitchen. Often a new perspective can give fresh ideas to the project. Don’t take opinions too seriously though; they are only trying to help!

3. Read industry specific magazines, such as Home Improvement magazines, kitchen brochures and lifestyle magazines for ideas. Often the little details within these pictures can make a big difference, so try and apply them to your re-design.

4. Set yourself a clear budget and stick to it, source all the necessary improvements within that budget.

5. If you are looking to refurbish your kitchen the most cost effective way to gain a new look and feel is to reface the kitchen doors, replace worktops, doors handles taps and some furniture.

5b. Often the doors may look a little tired. Just ‘reface’ them (fix new units onto the front) rather than purchase brand new doors. By fitting replacement door covers on the existing units and accessorising with new handles you mimic new doors for less.

6. Accessories are a fantastic way to way to brighten up the kitchen and look more modern (should that be your style). Buy accessories that bring that look to life; for example a new kitchen table and traditional kitchen cupboard handles would achieve a warmer look, without the need to replace everything in sight.

 

Don’ts

 

1. Don’t be underprepared. Make sure you know everything about what changes you are making and how you are to go about achieving them.

2. Don’t spread your budget too thin, otherwise the refurbishment will lose focus and overall impact. Instead focus on your targeted areas and make them a success. Also shop around for the prices on the same products; you will be surprised at differences in price between retailers.

3. Measure twice cut once. A mantra used by carpenters, but also applies to you when ordeing new kitchen doors etc. Make sure you measure your fittings correctly, as this could be very costly to get wrong.

4. Don’t be shy about seeking help from a carpenter or even a neighbour if you are unsure how to install new products or fittings.

5. Make sure your new kitchen cupboard doors match the accessories. There’s no point refacing kitchen doors with aged "oak effect" doors and finishing them off with ultra-modern chrome handles, it just won’t work. Same goes for kitchen taps and other accessories.

 

In summary, a kitchen refurbishment should be a great way to save thousands, rather than having a brand new install. Go with something that you are comfortable with, and will be happy to spend alot of time around. If you follow the tips, I’m sure you will be on your way to success. That satisfaction you get when you designed the kitchen yourself is just something money can’t buy.
