  • The house we're buying has a Magnet Somerton kitchen - I'd like to remove the wall hung cabinets and replace the fronts of the remaining cabinets. Plykea/custom fronts aren't an option for this but is there anyone else? It's likely we'd be re-doing the kitchen in the next 2-3yrs but I really dont like the existing cupboard so would prefer to change if poss.

  • Magnet Somerton kitchen

    It looks fairly inoffensive to me so andosandos point seems sensible.

    Have you thought about changing the door handles and repainting or retiling the rest of the kitchen?

    Some friends had a place with a decent kitchen that wasn't to their taste. They painted, retiled and replaced the floor and it looked totally different despite still having cabinets and counters they never would have chosen.

    Admittedly it wasn't big so changing the floor was cheap.

  • Yeah our plan is to remove some of the wall hung cabinets and plaster/repaint/tile where these would have been.

    I just really don't like the cabinet doors/handles. I know it will seem silly but I spend so much time in the kitchen that I know it will grate on me.
    I think as we're removing some of the cabinets, I'll test out how good a finish I can achieve by painting them, if it's reasonable I'll give that a go - seems like the most sensible solution. Maybe it should have been a DIY Q.
