In this episode, host Faye Newman discusses various kitchen styles and factors to consider when choosing one, aiming to simplify the decision-making process. Faye understands that selecting a kitchen style can be overwhelming, especially with the wide array of options available in showrooms, so guides you on where to start and how to identify personal preferences. Additionally, you will get practical tips, including the pros and cons of different styles.
Key Takeaways:
When designing a handleless kitchen, consider the seamless integration of materials, colours, and features like floating plinths, while keeping in mind technical and fitting aspects to ensure a cohesive and functional design.
Consider both traditional and contemporary styles when choosing a kitchen to meet your functional and aesthetic preferences. Explore options like integrated handles, push-to-open mechanisms, and combinations of materials to achieve a balance between sleek modernity and classic warmth, tailoring choices to your space and cleaning preferences.
Before choosing specific kitchen door styles, prioritise a functional and timeless kitchen layout. Consider factors such as space, cost, and style options, and consult with knowledgeable designers to understand all available features and customisation possibilities.
Best Moments
‘You've got the shaker door, which we all know and love, or you might loathe it if you've currently got that in your kitchen at the moment, and you know you want something different. There's different styles of shaker and it's a style that's been going for 300 plus years’.
‘I think the cons to in-frame is the price point because they are, I would say they're the most expensive traditional style, purely just because of the extra detailing, the extra materials for the framework, the extra carpentry involved’.
‘If you go for a metal colour, you could have a rose gold handleless rail as well as the plinth underneath. When it comes to detail you can really, really go for a bespoke style that suits you’.
‘Say one of you does want to go for contemporary and say you want to go for a traditional, maybe look at the combination between the two so you can both find elements that you love about your kitchen and then you just transform it to suit your preferences’.
