  • We have just finished our installation with a company called Great British Kitchen & Interiors. Shaker style Kitchen is superb, also went with Miele, Bora, Kohler & Quooker cube. The worktop has a leathered finish, it’s great as it does not show water / grease marks

  • Ah lovely.

    Does this thread do component breakdowns? :D

    I'm thinking of doing a dark green paint on the cabinets, a sage green on the walls, a white quartz worktop, predominantly Miele appliances, brass handles and lighting (but Philips Hue inside), and a grey brushed slate or similar flooring.

    It seems silly to not consider Miele or equivalent when the difference between £6k of entirely average appliances and £10k of insanely good appliances, as a % of the total cost of the kitchen really isn't that huge. It feels like once you've agreed to spend £20-25k that spending £25-30k and for it to enhance the total house value... it's just a no-brainer. Plus the hob and oven, those things likely never change in the life of the kitchen so going for the top at the outset seems wise.

    What are the Bora and Kohler things you have? The Quooker is the tap right?
