Accessories: The Difference Between Love And Hate
When you think of buying a new designer kitchen what immediately springs to mind? Units? Worktops? What size of oven to leave room for? Great, youre considering the elements of a kitchen installation that make the biggest impact. These can also be some of the most expensive parts of a kitchen, so its vital you choose them carefully.
When youre looking through the various choices available, spare a thought for the accessories that will best match the style of fitted kitchen you have selected. The accessories you choose could make the difference between liking your new Kitchens UK installation and LOVING it!
Accessories include things like the handles to go on your new unit doors, sinks, taps, light fittings and additional lighting options as well as socket faceplates and internal door handles. You need to give very careful consideration to the accessories you choose and ensure they all tie in together. It would be a huge style faux pas to choose a lovely modern kitchen only to have it ruined by old brass door handles, brass socket faceplates and a Tiffany style lampshade, which you hadnt given any thought to and ends up being left-over from your old installation.
Even things like tiling and paint can make the difference between a nice kitchen and a wow kitchen. If youre going for a high gloss black tile, to match with your modern oak units and real wood worktops, then perhaps consider a coloured grout to really make those tiles gleam.
Alternatively, if youre going for a minimalist look with acres of clear bench space then how about using screwless socket faceplates to really finish it off? Theres such a variety of colour choices you can select faceplates to match your tiles to help them blend in even more.
Although its important to choose accessories wisely, also give consideration to the possibility of changing them at some point. Units and worktops are more difficult to alter, but accessories are an easy DIY way to change the look of your kitchen.
If youre careful when planning your kitchen you can create a room that suits multiple looks and can be easily transformed with the addition of different accessories. Plain colours for worktops and cupboards, for example, will suit a number of different accessory styles; you would be surprised by how much new doors, taps and light fittings can transform the feel of your kitchen. Your Kitchens UK designer can help you with this aspect of your kitchen design.
Your new Kitchens UK kitchen installation is an investment. It will be fitted by a reputable kitchen specialist who has years of experience in the industry so its important to make sure that every detail is right for you. The accessories that go with your kitchen may seem like a minor and slightly insignificant aspect of the installation, but spare them a thought as they may just turn out to be the detail which takes your kitchen from wow to WOW.
