BUYING A KITCHEN
Julia Trendell , design expert at Benchmarx Kitchens , provides some top tips on how to buy a kitchen .
“ The kitchen is the heart of the home , so when it comes to a redesign , there is a real opportunity to choose a layout , features and materials that will truly enhance your day-today life .
“ It ’ s easy to be drawn to a lavish high-end kitchen design , however in reality , this may not always be a financially viable option , or indeed the only route to achieving your desired look . Even if you are working to a budget , this doesn ’ t mean you have to forgo thoughts of a designer kitchen . Simply choosing clever combinations of cabinetry , worktops , lighting and appliances make it possible to create an expensive feel without overstepping on costs .
“ Many of the finishes currently being seen in top-end kitchens are readily available from various , more accessible , kitchen suppliers , so it is worth finding your ideal style and seeing how you can recreate this to best effect . Matt cabinetry for instance is on-trend amongst high end designers , and budgetfriendly Benchmarx Kitchens and Joinery has options such as its Eton matt dove grey , matt carbon and matt white ranges , which feature this desirable finish for an impressive look that has a more affordable price tag .
“ I would always recommend getting the experts involved in your kitchen design early on to ensure you maximise the features that are important to you . There is a wealth of knowledge available at kitchen retailers who not only follow the latest trends but , working with the kitchen ranges day in day out , are best placed to discuss ways to achieve a bespoke look . Many manufacturers will have options available that can replicate a look at a range of price points , so if you have a style in mind then it is certainly worth talking this through .
