good quality kitchen - what is most important

Hi Aliby21

Yes, an experienced kitchen designer should start with your brief and the conversation you have based around this and will also come up with other suggestions of how they see the space working out also. This really is part and parcel of what an experienced designer will do, as this is their day job!

Yes, I've never seen the point of these especially if you have a dishwasher and so don't have washing up bowl.

A good use for this one and a half or two sink arrangement is to say "s0d the supplied plumbing" and bin half of it. Plumb the two wastes separately. Large sink goes down the drain, as normal. Small half sink heads for a water storage butt (or grey water system, if you go ott ...). All the water you run to get hot out of the system, the emptying of kettles, draining veg water, all of it gets reused....

Thank you! that is so helpful. I am seeing it makes a lot more sense to start with getting a proper design done, then think about the actual fabric of the units, doors etc. Really has helped a lot thinking how to approach it

I LOVE this idea! and it is going to be in just the right place for where I am putting my veg patch
