Show me your DIY Kitchens!

And also how much it cost.

Looking for inspo and a potential ballpark figure for my L shape 2.3m x 2.4m kitchen

we just ordered ours yesterday, fingers crossed should be installed by mid April. It's also an L-shape 3.5 x 1.8 So nervous having planned it myself and paying for it without even going to the showroom...might be a disaster in the end there are thousands of pics and videos on instagram, just # diykitchens or search diykitchens + name of the kitchen type

Watching this one carefully. I’m thinking of going for the helmsley in mussel, how about you op?

When I was choosing my DIY kitchen I watched their 60 second showcase videos on you tube

@Namechangedforthisonetoday there are quite a few shaker styles I have my eye on, however not decided yet!

@tallrectangle ooh good luck! I am also not planning to make the trip to the showroom as it's so far from when I live. How much are you paying for the installation if you don't mind me asking? Just curious.

@shell856 Ooh thanks for that tip, will watch those!

We have a mussel DIY kitchen. It's lush. Been in 7 years and still looks great.

I'm currently planning ours but have had one before, plus designed one for MIL and her utility room too. All been great so happy to go for it again.

There is a great Facebook page with loads of their kitchens in. We've had ours in for nearly 4 years and it has been great🙂

@daisychain237 we are in the process of getting the quotes. We've had anything from £850 to £2K for fitting units only. The worktop, old kitchen removal,electrics and plastering (stone) is being done by someone else. Plastering £750, electrics £350, kitchen removal (did ourselves), new radiator and it's fitting circa £250. We will try to fit floors ourselves (click laminate). So, labour wise probably £2.5K plus kitchen £7K, plus lots of other materials i.e. paint, skirting boards, new sockets and lights. Total probably 11K...Ouch..

DIY kitchens were hard to beat, we went for a silestone worktop + solid timber units and managed to squeeze into 7K(10 units including oven, washing machine, dishwasher, belfast sink, induction hob). Exactly same size kitchen but with mdf units and a laminate worktop came to 9.5K at Wrens 🤐

We got a DIY kitchen last year and I absolutely love it. We had so many crap designs done by the the various high-street kitchen brands, so it was amazing to design it exactly how I wanted it. The quality of the units are fantastic and my builder has since been recommending them to all his customers. We went for the Stanbury in a bespoke farrow and hall colour and we are so pleased with it. We did have a bit of a miscommunication with them about delivery dates, but they did get it resolved. We didn’t get our worktop through them - we got that from Gemini who were also fantastic

Also meant to say that we marked out the kitchen design on the floor with masking tape before the final order which really helped - I realised I’d made the peninsula too long to easily walk around the end of it, so we took a unit off and it’s now perfect.

This is ours. Around £6k excluding work tops and appliances. Equivalent was £10k at Howdens. Fitting on top.

There's an extra larger unit on the far left that not visible in the photo.

We're delighted with ours - really good quality. Our fitter was very pleased too. Only thing to note, when it arrives, make sure you have lots of room! As they arrive pre-assembled rather than flat pack, they do take up a hell of a lot of space.

Ours is Altino high gloss petrol blue 6 base units four wall cupboard units Duropal laminate worktops Innova stainless steel sink (tap from somewhere else) handles, OH fell for a posh cutlery drawer insert in wood that came to £3000, appliances were from other places. with plastering ,rewire, tiling floor and backsplashes painting and son in law fitter added another £4000 to the cost

Loads on here. Including mine! www.facebook.com/groups/381845813632207/?ref=share

I love your lights - can I please ask where you bought them from?

Not happy with a few things but none of that is due to diy kitchens. Just the idiot I got to fit it!

Ours was fitted in September and was half the price Wren quoted.

It’s beautiful! Which range and colour is it please?

Thank you it is Norton studio green.

This is mine! Bespoke painted.

It's Luca; the navy was bespoke but the units in the island are 'cornflower'. The worktops are navy quartz and oak. Total cost £12k including appliances and fitting.

Linwood painted in Dove Grey and Cobham Blue, with an off white Compaq worktop.

cabinets came to about £6k in 2019/20, appliances £5k, worktop £3k
