New kitchen

jimjam83

Hello all - we've just bought our first place and you have all helped me to no end....so here I am again!
We need a new kitchen and have just visited Wren, as we wanted them to design it for us. They've done a great job. Now - how do I play the game? I understand I'd be very foolish to simply accept their offer, but how do I shop around?! We will be buying our worktops elsewhere (quartz - welcome any suggestions) and will have our own fitter do everything. I'd really appreciate any feedback!!

My suggestion, avoid Wren. There is a very long thread on MSE full of unhappy customers.

Try how dens  / magnet or just a local indepent  now you have a design other can do similar  some places are supposedly trade only but they often do  sell to individuals  
My biggest tip is if you plan to use your wall cupboards for plates take them along not sure which firm it was but ours didn't fit the doors did not close

If budget allows, fit wide pan drawers rather than cabinets. You can access 100% of the storage without moving stuff around. Drawers in a tall larder unit can store crockery and food - I managed to do away with wall units altogether.
