Kitchen Buyers Guide

This section of the website is all about kitchen advice. It's aim is to help you in those early days, when you've decided you want a new kitchen but don't know where to start ... to provide advice about the process you go through before you actually get that gleaming new kitchen.

It should perhaps be titled "kitchen UK" because that's what it's all about ... choosing and buying a kitchen in the UK. So much of the information you find on the internet actually originates from the USA and there are quite significant differences between the countries when it comes to kitchens. Beware of sites which talk about kitchen remodelling and kitchen counters and cabinets. In this country, we normally do a kitchen replacement (not a remodel) ... using kitchen worktops (not counters) and kitchen units (although I've noticed a few cabinets sneaking into UK kitchens recently!).

Start by looking at the sections here ... on finding kitchen design ideas, kitchen design, choosing kitchen appliances and buying your kitchen ... then, if you register yourself on this site, you can download the first chapter of Majjie's Kitchen Design Guide absolutely free. It will explain what different types of kitchen there are, in the UK, and where your money goes when you buy one ... aswell as asking if you really do need a new kitchen at all!
