Kitchens

We visited Magnet in Sutton and met a kitchen designer called Asria to help put our initial kitchen design together. We ended up with a complete design for the kitchen and utiity room. The kitchen came out a lot bigger than we expected - but the utility room was a lot smaller. Just shows how difficult it is to envisage scale when you just work to floor plans. We chose one of the most expensive ranges in Magnet - Java which is a light wood colour with black granite worktops. We have a nice 5 burner gas hob - 900 mm wide, some other more basic neff appliances and a huge american style fridge freezer which will have a built in water filter and ice maker. The whole process took a few hours to get the design done and we had to visit the shop again for pricing. The list price was £45,000 - but rapidly came down to around £25,000 with discounts etc. If VAT is removed and we push a little further we should have the kitchen supplied and fitted for around £20,000 which is expensive but inside the budget.
