It’s happened to all of us. There are so many indications that your kitchen is not exactly fit for purpose any more, but whether your original thought was “when it breaks, I’ll replace it” or even if the prices of a kitchen makes your eyes water, it can be rather tempting to think that your kitchen’s okay…ish.
We’ve sought the advice of the talented designers behind Greentree Kitchens – an excellent provider of kitchens Bangor as well as many other areas in North Wales, and used what we’ve learned to assemble a small list of ways that you know that your kitchen is not up to standard and desperately, desperately needs a sledgehammer.
Nothing says “awful” better than the fact that you’re starting to sneer at chopping boards. The first time you get a worktop, you’re so careful around it – polishing it just the right away, ensuring that there’s not even the faintest scratch on it. You may even remember the first time you actually scratched the thing – the amount of anguish and disappointment that you might have experienced when you did so, as well as the horrible feeling that your worktop is no longer perfect. Nowadays, who cares? You chop, slice and cut meat, veg, and other foods on your worktop, and somewhere in the back of your mind, you’re half considering just how much you want to stab it and get a new one.
It’s important to remember that while fashions and trends tend to come full circle for absolutely everything, kitchens really aren’t part of it. Look at the tile trend right now. Heavy, busy, patterned tiles are indeed coming back, but they don’t look like yours. At all, actually. Yours aren’t looking good, they’re looking even more dated than ever before. The same can apply to floors, too. While indeed lino has come full circle in the past 20 years (nowadays the quality of lino is far better than what it was – it’s thicker, there’s far more prints which can be added to it, as well as the fact that it’s just generally… nicer.) old lino is absolutely vile. It was awful back then, and it’s even worse now, given the fact that it’s got 30 years on replacements.
The most important factor to consider with your kitchen is that your feelings are important. If you feel bored with your kitchen, it’s time to make a change. Boredom and loathing are not good feelings for the most used room of the house, and the kitchen certainly is that. Get the kitchen you deserve with Greentree Kitchens.
