Having a brand new fitted kitchen installed is a big thing, not only is it a chunk of money you're going to be paying out, it's also something that is going to be in your home for years to come. It's a very permanent change that you're planning on making and it's generally not something that can be changed again easily. So it's important that you choose the right kitchen and the right kitchen finish for your home. There tends to be two main finishes you can choose from, either matt or gloss. This blog is going to be all about glossy finishes and why it might be the right choice for your kitchen.

Glossy Fitted Kitchen Finishes

We would always suggest to choose a gloss finish if you have a smaller sized kitchen. The gloss will allow the natural light to bounce around the room and give the impression that the room is larger than it actually is. But it's always key to remember that with gloss, it can reflect other colours that are also in the room. So it may

Since we have all been spending a lot more time at home, you may becoming more aware of your home becoming cluttered. So you may be looking for clever storage solutions.

A breakfast cupboard is designed to be similar to a pantry and is the ideal way to have things out the way so you have more work top space. They can actually become a focal point if you lay it out in an aesthetically pleasing way.

Similar to breakfast cupboards, bar areas are becoming very popular. Turning

• Door Handles 

One super simple way to update your current kitchen cabinets is by changing the door handle. As small as this step sounds, it can really have a big change in your kitchen when combined with a few other changes. 

You could go as wild and quirky as you want with your door handles, there are some really funky little door knobs out there if that's your style. On the other hand you could decide to have a theme that carries across the kitchen. Maybe you decide to go for copper handles, then choose copper cutlery, copper lighting or copper finished small appliances.

When it comes to choosing your fitted kitchen design, you might be spoilt for choice with the range of colours and finishes that are now available. But there's two distinct categories that you can put the kitchen designs in, bright and light or dark. Last decade, the kitchen trend was definitely the brighter the better. However, trends are changing now and we've seen a massive boost in popularity in darker kitchens. So how do you choose which fitted kitchen design is the one for you?

Letting natural and artificial light bounce off the work tops and units is the perfect way to make your room feel bigger than it actually is. However, one of the negatives that comes with a light coloured kitchen is how easily stained they can become. This can especially be an issue

Hopefully before you even placed an online order for your applainces, you made sure to measure the space you have available and you chose something that would fit. We've experienced it quite a few times, having a phone call from either the delivery driver or the customer to state that the kitchen appliance that they have ordered doesn't fit. It can be extremely difficult to try and get it to fit or modify your surroundings if you do buy the wrong size.

Communication is incredibly important. You need to know the dates and times the delivery driver will be arriving and the delivery driver needs to know if you have any special requirements. You both also need a

It's a kitchen appliance that we use on a daily basis, but when it comes to being cleaned or maintenance, it's definitely an appliance that gets dropped to the bottom of the list. The main reason that actually brings us to cleaning our fridges and freezers is when we get an unwelcoming smell when we open the door. But that smell should be the least of our worries. You could actually risk getting ill from the build up of bacteria.

So why is it that we don't clean our fridges and freezers as much as we should? It may seem like a difficult job, but we're going to break it down into smaller daily cleaning, weekly cleaning and more of a deep clean that can be carried out every 3 to 4 months.

One of the easiest things to do to keep your kitchen looking and smelling clean is to wipe them both down on a daily basis. If you do have any spillages, try to clean them up as soon as they happen. Wiping the internals down every

First you need to think about what style of kitchen you'd like. Are you looking to give off a traditional feeling, or are you looking for something more modern?

If you have a home that is always busy and you love entertaining, then think about how people will be able to spend time and move around the kitchen. Adding in a kitchen island is perfect for extra storage, extra counter space and it can double as somewhere for the kids to sit and do their homework or as a makeshift bar when you have friends round.

If you're looking to create a wow factor, why not look at having all of your appliances on one

By choosing a complete all white kitchen, you're bringing a feel of the contemporary into your home. Pair it with some chrome handles and kitchen appliances to finish off the look.

All white also brings a touch of brightness and an airy feel into the kitchen. It's the perfect colour to use in a smaller sized kitchen, or a kitchen that doesn't get a lot of natural light through windows. It will allow whatever light is brought into the room to bounce around and reflect off the surrounding surfaces.
