DIY kitchens. Did the whole lot myself, ending up with a much more innovative and efficient layout then any 'pro' could do.

If your not near enough to visit, ring up and get through to send you through the design pack which has plotting paper and little cut outs of all the unit sizes.


If you CAN visit, you should, the showroom is excellent.

We got a couple of designs done by local companies with the intention of using them. That was until I gi the quotes.

We sent DIY the designs and they worked out what components were needed from their range.

I trialled IKEA on my last resto. The kitchen was ok at best.
Staff in store aren't specialists at kitchen design so don't expect that pressure to be taken off your shoulders.
I wasn't overtly impressed with the engineering either.

Prior to that I fitted a Wren but it was nothing special and i dislike the game of Poker you play to get to the real price.

Next time, am tempted to use DIY Kitchen as lots of people on here give them a thumbs up.

Just ordered for diy myself after all the great reviews and visiting the showroom.

What I've done is gone for a inframe design, they will never date but in a trendy colour (carbon, which is basically dark grey) with light oak coloured carcesses. the idea being that when grey is no longer trendy i can literally just have it re painted in whatever colour is fashionable, should we either want to or want to sell.

Modern worktops and appliances but traditional units. I think (hope) I'm onto a winner.
