Could I get away with 17mm difference on kitchen doors?

[Kitchenwoe]

Am basically looking to get my cupboard doors replaced.

In the photo the black numbers are the actual measurements of my current doors.

They do standard door sizes and custom.

To match my doors exactly is a custom price and costs £250 more.

The red is the standard size.

The width is the same as my doors.

But the height would be 17mm less,
So hung in the middle the doors would be 8.5mm shorter top and bottom.

Would that be OK?

Was expecting it to be the lower price. Not the custom and not sure I can raise another 250.

Just do it then OP. Just don’t complain when it looks naff

Omg Naff 😭 🤣🤣
Not heard that in about 15 years!

Could you order just one door to see how it would look?

I've done a lot of kitchen hacking over the years. 731mm is a Wickes size. If you search for Wickes replacement doors you may find someone selling off end of range or even some timber ones to paint. There are a few sellers on eBay with "Kendal cream".

Sorry - I meant £250 difference total

Honestly - I think you will regret not doing it right for that amount of difference, but - it is your choice and no one should be mean about it

Will be interested to see how it turns out

Thankyou!

It would have been perfect and I would have ordered those but they don't have the 731 x 446 :(

Search on that size and there might be an odd one. (I've just been on the train with nothing better to do for an hour!)

20 available 5 sold £37 each

These are 731 x 446
Sizes quoted are Width x 731mm Height x 18mm Thick

Oh my gosh, thankyou!

I'm going to order these instead!

And half the price I was originally going to spend.

Hope it works out for you - nothing like a mumsnet team google search!
Let us know how you get on!

How lovely of you to find these!! Much better option all round I’d say!

And how much will this cost in time and money? Who is going to do it? It will look so bad. The beading will come loose at some point. Please don't.

Just realised you've found a solution. Great!

And this is why I love Mumsnet 🤗

My husband is a handy man.

He does little jobs like that all thw time.
He lays laminate, decorates, boxes things in, does ceiling coving etc

Aw, I love this thread 🤩

I really hope @Kitchenwoe comes back and shows us the doors that @Breadcat24 found!

God no. It'll look awful, just spend the extra money and do it properly. You'll regret if you do.

You weren't rude at all.

OP had her mind made up but was not happy at differing opinions despite the question.

Those doors look much better than the original ones!

So pleased I came back to this thread! Got to love the hive mind of MN.

Good luck op.

I'm so upset :(

Went to put my money in the bank this morning to order it all and these ate OOS now :(

Absolutely gutted.

I emailed the guy last night to gwt a price for all of them.

I'm so sad.

Yes do this. Hang them flush with either top or bottom.
B&Q do various decorative trims in brushed aluminium that you coul add to each one.

Keep on looking? There will be others I am sure! Don’t give up

Was a real bargain though.
