We have been fantastically pleased with our Ikea stainless steel door fronts and thick oak work top. Need a bit of wiping down I must say but look v v stylish imho! And all for a couple o grand on interest free credit.

Go for classic timeless look if planning to sell in a year or 2, rather than high fashion red which will date very quickly. I had IKEA kitchen in previous house, it looked fab and went in in less than day and a half, but I did use their fitters who would be used to IKEA fittings.

an update!!!!
Kit hen is finally being fitted this week
We have john lewis gloss White units
Wooden karndean floor
Black/volcano Maia worktop
Am needing more input over plinth colour as we have stainless steel appliances wonder if splashing out on them as plinths might work?
Also doing glass tiles!!!
