Which kitchen style help please

[nappyzonecantrunfortoffee]

We are doing a redo on a budget of our kitchen and as our ten yr old b and q carcasses are near perfect we are just changing the doors. Choosing form the IT range i had decided on the high gloss white slab with long rod handles but now am having second thoughts as i never particularly spend time washing my kitchen doors and cant help thinking i will be forever rubbing off grubby marks. Its this one high gloss white. As a second thought i am now looking at this cream shaker style one but again using long silver rod handles (have seen it like this in howdens but wrong size doors to fit our cabinets) here classic ivory . Dh has to go with my dad tomorow night to get it to get his oap discount so time is runnig out and i cannot decide. Does anyone have either???

Thankyou you have all been mucho helpful, i am defo going with ermmmmmmmmmmmmmm

With regards to handles your dead right as were i can envisage one in one of my corners (my only corner) my dishwasher will struggle to open i think!

Excellent tip on ikea btw.

Let us know what you decide nappy - and of course we'll want pictures when it's done

I have white high gloss slab (see profile pics)

Easy to clean as no ridges to collect dirt. Just wipe over with soapy water on a cloth. I previously had shaker style and it used to drive me nuts. Dirt collects on the ridge bits and it is much harder to clean off.

Well as dh is doing it i expect that will be around July time! Going to bed now with my big dilemma!

We were stuck between those two styles too! We went for the cream Shaker door as we thought it went better with our old house. It does look fab - I do have to clean them a fair bit to stop them looking grubby though and the 'frame' is a bit of a dust trap!

i have reserved white gloss drawerline and dh will pick up tonight and crack on at the weekend - he will order the bits that are not in stock on the shelf so that we still get them doors 50% off as apparently that ends thus. The dust in frames has scared me away from shaker now.
