Where to get the best kitchen design ideas from
We’d all love to find top-quality kitchen design ideas when we’re having a new kitchen installed. If you’re made of money, you can find bespoke kitchens from top designers, but that’s beyond most of us. So where will you find the best kitchen design ideas at an affordable price?
Kitchen design ideas from the high street chains
The obvious starting point would be one of the high street chains. Unfortunately, all their talk about great quality for low prices is just a big sales pitch. Their prices are fairly cheap, however, they aren’t interested in kitchen design ideas to make the most of your space.
If you don’t need kitchen design ideas and are happy to just keep all your existing units in the same place and just replace them with new ones, the chains are probably ok. Their “sales designers” aren’t really equipped to deal with tricky problems of using the space, though. They’re far better at sales than design. Their efforts go into sales tricks like “50% off sales” that are nothing of the kind, rather than designing. So, if you’re looking for a design that suits your requirements and makes best use of the available space, you’ll probably be better off looking elsewhere.
Kitchen design ideas from the trade only suppliers
A kitchen from the chains will be fairly cheap, but the fitting won’t be. One possible way of getting round this is to go through a builder, who can use the trade only suppliers. A builder will usually fit the kitchen at a far more reasonable rate than the chains.
However, trade only suppliers are usually no better than the chains at designing kitchens. They also use a one size fits all design approach that rarely works.
Kitchen design ideas from an independent kitchen showroom
Independent kitchen showrooms are at the opposite pole from the chains when it comes to design. They’re not interested in sales tricks like inflating the price in order to give you “50% off”. Instead, they’ll place much more emphasis on the quality of the design.
At the chains, sales designers have twenty minutes to design your kitchen. In contrast, designers at independent showrooms will probably spend 3 or 4 hours designing your kitchen. Unlike the chains and trade-only suppliers, Independent kitchen showrooms will design your kitchen to your individual requirements. This ensures the best use of all the available space.
Unfortunately, many independent kitchen showrooms charge a premium for their kitchen design ideas. But not all. Some showrooms will offer you a kitchen that costs similar to the chains and trade only suppliers. Plus, your kitchen will be designed to a much higher standard.
