Kitchen Dilemma

Megan Hodgson
hace 5 años
Hi all, I’m having a slight dilemma for the kitchen of the house that my partner and I will be moving into, we are unable to change the kitchen straight away due to the cost and we are changing the floor to a dark wooden floor. I feel it will clash with the countertops, is there a way to change them for the time being but in a cost effective way? Thank you so much for your help!!

    Hi Megan, depends on what you class as cost effective, good quality laminate worktops might cost you 400-600 pounds easily and a tradesmen may charge 200 pounds plus to do the work this is before you factor in the splashback cost and a skip for the waste.....If it was me, I would wait until i changed the kitchen furniture and then do all the work at once then including the flooring. This would not only save you money in the long run but also allow you to pick a full color scheme for the room that's cohesive. This prevents your future kitchen furniture colour decisions being dictated by the floorng that's only recently been installed....that's how I see it anyway. sorry if I've thrown a cat among the pigeons, best of luck whatever you decide to do.

      I think the floor and countertop might go well together. The only thing that seems a bit much to me is the backsplash. Maybe change that for glass or tiles. But I’d wait until the floor is in before you decide.

      I guess the cheapest way is to have a laminate worktop.


      However, since you have already decided on the flooring, isn’t it sensible to have your flooring laid first and decide on worktop later?

      And yes, splashback (or is it backsplash?) may well be more of an issue.

      Thank you so much for your comments! Yes definitely better to decide once we’re in and have changed the floor but definitely a good idea to change the splash back, that will charge the whole look!

      Hello Megan, We offer a material called Fenix which is a laminate, its really durable - anti finger print, craft resistant and very hygienic making it a good surface for worktops. It could have a ply or Mdf base if you wanted to save money and the Fenix comes in a range of colours so you use a lighter one to compliment your darker floor. I've linked website so you can see some examples.

      Hi Diego, thank you for your comment, I do agree completely! It would be best to change it all at the same time but I think we will have to see how we feel fully once we move in. Thank you :)

      Hi Megan - have you used the Karndean app - it allows you to put a floor covering within your kitchen using these app - will have a good copy of the one you selected - Karndean

      have a play this will give you a feel what your kitchen going to look like - is the floor solid wood? have you had this type of floor before? or is it vinyl tiles? - I hate doing anything twice and wasting money! I believe do it right first time saves money in the long term - you can always have your doors and end panels changed! - Hope this helps!
