Stuff You Need to Know About Kitchen Furniture

Kitchen furniture is well important! It’s not just cupboards and that, its what makes your kitchen look mint. You need to think about all the bits like drawers and shelves and stuff.

When I and my other half were picking our kitchen stuff, we spent AGES looking at different things. Modern kitchen stuff is well clever now with all these cool features that make cooking easier.

Why You Shouldnt Buy Cheap Kitchen Stuff

Getting good quality kitchen furniture is deffo worth it! The cheap stuff breaks really quick and looks naff after a few months. I told mum to get the proper good stuff even tho it cost more.

Wood kitchens are the best, especially oak ones. They look sick and last for basically forever. When you buy quality furniture, your not just getting cupboards, your investing in where everyone in the house spends loadsa time!

Different Styles of Kitchen Cupboards

Theres so many different styles of kitchen cabinets! Some look really old fashioned but in a cool way (shaker style ones) and some are dead modern with shiny surfaces.

Mum wanted the traditional style but my other half liked the modern ones. They argued about it for ages but in the end they got something in the middle that looks really nice.

How to Store All Your Kitchen Stuff

Storage is well important in kitchens! Otherwise all your stuff ends up everywhere and mum gets proper stressed. Modern kitchen furniture has these amazing drawers that pull all the way out and special cupboards for food and that.

I really like the kitchens with places for everything, like special drawers for knives and spice racks built in. It makes the kitchen look dead tidy even when its actually a bit messy.

What Material is Best for Kitchen Furniture

The material you pick for your kitchen furniture is dead important. Wood is mint, especially oak coz it looks posh and doesnt break easy.

Some people like stainless steel and modern materials too. I reckon it depends on if you cook loads and how much cleaning you wanna do. Mum hates cleaning so she picked stuff that doesnt show fingerprints!

Colours and That for Your Kitchen

The colour of your kitchen furniture makes a massive difference! You can get everything from dark wood to white glossy stuff. Most modern kitchens are white or grey but you can get dead bright colours too.

Our kitchen has these cool grey cupboards with some blue bits and it looks mint. The colour makes the kitchen look well bigger too which is good coz our kitchen isnt massive.

Extra Bits for Your Kitchen

You need more than just cupboards for a sick kitchen. You need to think about lights and handles and sinks and taps and all that. Mum spent HOURS looking at different taps!

Stools and tables and that can make your kitchen proper nice for hanging out in, not just for cooking. My other half wanted one of those breakfast bars but I said we should get a proper table coz its better for when mates come round.

Kitchen Islands Are Well Cool

Kitchen islands are like the best thing ever for kitchens! There just these big blocks in the middle of the kitchen but they give you loads more space for cooking and eating and that.

Some of them have cookers built in or fridges underneath which is dead clever. I want one with charging points for my phone so I can sit there and do my homework while mum cooks tea.

Making Sure Your Kitchen Works Proper

When your designing your kitchen you need to think about where everything goes. Theres this thing called a “work triangle” that means you can reach the fridge, sink and cooker dead easy.

You need to think about how many people are gonna be in the kitchen at once too. When all my mates come over and were trying to make snacks it gets proper squished if the kitchen isnt designed right.

Changing Your Kitchen Without Spending Loads

You dont always need to get a whole new kitchen to make it look better. Sometimes just changing the cupboard doors or putting new handles on makes it look well different.

My other half wanted a whole new kitchen but I said we should just paint the cupboards and get new worktops. It was loads cheaper and looks almost as good as a brand new one!

Main Things to Remember

• Don’t buy cheap rubbish that’ll break in 5 minutes
• Pick stuff that matches your style and how you use the kitchen
• Make sure theres enough storage so mum doesnt go mental about mess
• Get clever storage thingys so you can find everything
• Don’t forget all the little bits like handles and lights
• Make sure the kitchen is easy to move around in

With the right furniture, your kitchen can be the most mint room in the house where everyone wants to hang out, not just where mum makes the dinner!
