At long last, we have decided to completely redo our kitchen.
Units, flooring, tiles etc. (woohoo!!)
But I've spent a week looking, and am now confused!
UNITS
I really don't mind spending the money on good quality units, and would rather spend a little more to ensure its good quality, without being ripped off.
Any recommendations? I've looked at Omega / Sheraton which look ok, Howdens, not sure about. Wren look ok on paper, but not actually seen any in the flesh.
We have someone to do the planning and fitting, so that aspect is covered.
Easy to clean is another priority! Gloss, Matt or wood??
WORKTOP
Duropal seems to be everywhere, and it looks as though the dimpled finish will hide any water marks etc. I love the look of Corian and similar, and solid wood, but not sure i want to deal with the maintenance of either.. anything for an easy life!
FLOOR
We're thinking of Karndean (maybe Amtico), or engineered oak for the floor. Again, any pluses or minuses experienced here?
TILES
For backspash etc... Gloss I imagine will be a pain to clean, so thinking satin or matt, but again unsure, and don't know whether a lighter colour would be easier.
COOKER / RANGE
We're also tempted to get a range rather than built- oven, but reviews on these seem quite variable. Again, I'd rather spend decent money to get something worthy!
Any help greatly appreciated.... it's a minefield put there!
