Fitted Kitchen Manchester Ideas


  • Storage and work top space 
Don't underestimate how much storage and work top space you will need. When it comes to work top space, you need space to cook and prep as well as having space to have small appliances on the top and any other accessories like a mug tree, candles or even vases.
Storage all comes with making the most out of the space you have available. Our kitchen designers take into account all of the space you have and work around it to ensure you have as much storage as possible. 

  • Lighting
Lighting is important in every room in the home, but more so in the kitchen. You need the right amount of task lighting to make sure that you can cook safely and people can enjoy their meals.There's no rules that say you cant have multiple forms of lighting in one room. You could have a nice pendant light and install spotlights or under cabinet lighting for your work tops.

  • Rubbish 
This is another art of your kitchen that people seem to forget about. If you want to keep a really slim line and minimalist feel in your kitchen, then why not choose to hide your bin behind your cupboard doors. You could get an integrated bin which means it's out of sight and it also helps to contain some of the smells that naturally come with a bin.
