The Beauty Of An Oak Kitchen When it comes to kitchen design, oak is truly versatile, lending itself to both the rustic look and modern style. The sheer nature of oak means there’s also scope to blend traditional flair with the modernity offered by the newest high tech kitchens yet, the true beauty of oak goes beyond aesthetics. It has a number of other qualities, which makes oak a very natural companion for your dream kitchen. Town and country Country homes and farmhouse cottages might seem the most obvious environment for solid oak kitchens, but that’s not to say oak kitchens are out of place in the city. In urban townhouses, for example, an oak kitchen can happily sit alongside modern appliances and fittings without looking forced or out of place, particularly in large, airy kitchens. This is because, with a little care, oak can matches effortlessly with

Pyroclean Is Hot Stuff! OK, hands up, who actually enjoys cleaning their oven? Yes, I suspected as much. While there are a few of you with their hands up (are you gluttons for punishment), for the majority of us it’s a real chore. Think of all the money spent on cleaning products, all the hours of elbow grease you need to put in, the horrible brown sludge you have to soak up at the bottom of your oven afterwards, the chemicals and the time spent when you really could be doing something far nicer. Wouldn’t it just be a lot easier if there were some magic way of the job doing itself? Some awesome invention that leaves the inside of your oven spotless in a matter of minutes? Well, would you believe it… there actually is! Introducing the Pyroletic Oven

Splashbacks are a fab way to brighten up and redesign your kitchen and can be a real eye catcher in a new installation by providing a strong accent colour. But of course when it comes to choosing the right splashback for your room you’re not just restricted to colour choices, there’s also a whole world of kitchen splashback textures out there from glass, acrylic, ceramic and laminate to granite, steel and glass - you’re spoiled for choice. It all really boils down to why you want the splashbacks in the first place (ie mostly décor?), where you want them, whether you’re prepared to clean them regularly and how much you’re willing to spend. We’ve broken it down to try and make it easier for you. Looks Glass, steel, acrylic are all reflective materials and can make a small pokey kitchen look bigger, lighter and sunnier.

Because Not Everyone Is A Kitchen Designer… We all get grand ideas about how our dream kitchen should look. TV reality shows and retail showrooms set our imaginations in motion, but when it comes to making those dreams reality, a little bit of expert help can work wonders. Which, of course, is where My Beautiful Kitchen comes in. Tips for making that dream kitchen a reality Before you even begin to plan your kitchen there are a few basic concepts to get your head around, which will help you get your design right and get you as close as possible to your dream kitchen. They might even give you a few ideas you wouldn’t have thought of previously. The shape (and size) of your kitchen is hugely important when it comes to where you site things such as the worktops and appliances. It’s a good idea to photocopy

Size Matters With Washing Machines It’s a phrase most men dread, but when it comes to washing machines size really is important but is bigger always better? Well, not always it seems. Choosing the wrong drum-size washing machine can result in something of a headache, particularly if you choose one that’s too small to satisfy. When it comes to washing machines, drum sizes range from 5kg to a mammoth 12kg. As a good guide, 1kg is equivalent to 5 T-shirts, so a 5kg drum size will fit in 25 T-shirts, while a 12kg will power through 60. In smaller households, or flats, a smaller drum-size machine would be perfectly suitable, but not so for large families, or those with plenty of washing to do. So, here’s a couple of things to think about before choosing your washing machine: 1. How many people do you wash for? This is the first thing

How To Look After Your Wooden Worktops Wooden worktops look great, but because they’re made from a natural material, they can get worn and damaged. Manufacturers do a good job of slowing down this wear-and-tear through the manufacturing process (known as “finger jointing”) but you can do your part, too, by following these tips for healthy wooden worktops. Real Wood Woktops - How to Maintain Them Tip #1: Firstly, the best way to have your wooden worktops last is to make sure you buy quality. Not all hardwood worktops are equal - in fact the difference can be surprising. Quality wood will age well and cheap wood won’t. In fact, it’ll probably go downhill after a couple of years. Tip #2: The other key to getting off on the right foot is to ensure the worktops are correctly fitted. Water is a wooden worktop’s enemy so a professional

How Kitchen Dreams Can Turn Into Kitchen Nightmares You might think that planning a new kitchen is an easy task, but if you’re not careful, things can go wrong and if they do, it can lead to wasted time, lost money and a whole lot of stress and exasperation!

Thinking About A New Kitchen? Don’t Know Where To Start? With so many things to think about, it can be hard to know what to look for in your new kitchen. Here are 5 things to consider. No 1: For most people, budget will be the first consideration. A new kitchen can cost anywhere from few hundred pounds to top of the range hand made kitchens at Fifty thousand pounds and above.  While “more expensive” usually means “better”, it can also mean “unnecessary”. A good kitchen company will help you choose the units, work surfaces, fittings and appliances that will suit your budget and give you the best quality and value for your money. No 2: Another restriction is going to be the size of the room. With a smaller kitchen to work with, you may have to give up the idea of a kitchen table and go
