Do you recognise this kitchen?

Hello there!

I am on a very tight budget but really desperate to refresh my kitchen. I was thinking about replacing doors and worktop. Unfortunately I cannot find replacement doors anywhere! I have been told it may be Howdens but they werent very helpful when I contacted them.

Do you recognise this kitchen or would you be able to recommend replacement doors that would be a good match? Ideally I would love much lighter but then they wouldnt match the colour of units ...

Many thanks!

I found my local Howdens to be good when trying to find a match for my kitchen so perhaps try a different branch?

Would it be possible to paint the doors?

Painting was my initial idea but some of them are visibly damaged ie laminate coming off the edges

Have you tried DIY kitchens?

I have used these guys before, they are a great company and so helpful. I'm sure if you get in touch they'll be able to find a match.

Is it the original kitchen? If a relatively modern house it might be worth contacting the building company to see which company supplied kitchens to them.

it looks to me like a MFI "walnut" door I've seen. Does it have rounded edges?

PigletJohn · 07/04/2018 21:11

the handles are Hafele stainless "keyhole" or "boss" handles. I have a crate of them.

How about this, or something else on the site? It looks like a cherry or walnut effect. www.larkandlarks.co.uk/kitchens/kitchen-doors/premium-pvc-edge-doors/radius-aida-walnut-door-drawer

"aida" is a walnut-effect laminate made by egger, it is very durable. You can get a sample for about £1 from suppliers, or free if you email Egger.

Hello

Many thanks for all your replies, some very useful tips that I am going to look into.

@PigletJohn
You may be on the money. It has rounded edges indeed. They are not as rounded as on your link but I am going to look into MFI range.
