"Kitchen. How’s your kitchen? Are you happy with it? Did you choose it yourself? Any recommendations? Howdens seem to be a popular choice for the savvy kitchen buyer." I designed the kitchen and fitted it in the last renovation and it was bang on. Also Howdens. PS... don't go down the 'Island' route... they are space hoggers and difficult to design around. | |||

"I’m in a rented house and I hate my kitchen. It’s big enough but not enough storage space. I’ve got an old book shelf in there now that i use for extra storage " What a bugger 
That’s the problem with rental properties, can’t do it to your own tastes

" I designed the kitchen and fitted it in the last renovation and it was bang on. Also Howdens. PS... don't go down the 'Island' route... they are space hoggers and difficult to design around." More good feedback and sound advice, thank you. Yeah, we were toying with islands and then started laying it out using bits of furniture in our space which proved it to be rather unpractical. | |||

"Slide out drawers, so much easier than cupboards...the deal was struck when saw second shallower hidden drawer, great for other bits and pieces." Yes, there are some fantastic space saving designs around. Kitchen draws have come a long way. | |||

"Mine desperately needs doing. My fridge is currently in the utility which isn’t ideal. Having moved in last May, it just comes down to deciding if I’ve got the energy for that level of disruption so soon. L" Ours has needed doing for ten years. There’s always been something more important to do in my head, much to Henrietttes frustration! | |||

"Mine is quite small, but I chose it and like as it was just meant to be me living there….. I have a much larger dining room which is more important. I don’t need to walk around loads when I’m cooking. I just need everything within reach Solid wood units & floor , I put a couple of full length oak shelves down it with loads of hooks underneath to hold pans so it’s actually quite practical even though it’s tiny. I have a big ceramic sink in the garage that needs fitting this year and I’m gonna sand and re-oil the wood. Don't have space for a big fridge freezer but I have a chest freezer in the garage, a beer fridge and a small food fridge. As well as a pantry. I cook a lot often for lots of people and it works fine for me " Your kitchen sounds brilliant MrHN. Our kitchen space is quite compact to and I agree that space isn’t the ultimate concern. Having everything to hand is also very important to us too. | |||

"I've just had a new kitchen from Howdens and am very pleased with it. They designed it to my spec and it's amazing. I had it put in by my own builder who I trust, and did the decorating myself." Again, love the feedback. I’ve bit spoken to anyone that has a bad word to say about howdens materials. Getting a pro to fit it is the way to go with such an expensive project I think. Although I’m pretty confident I could do it. | |||

"Kitchen. How’s your kitchen? Are you happy with it? Did you choose it yourself? Any recommendations? Howdens seem to be a popular choice for the savvy kitchen buyer." Our kitchen was installed by the previous owner. It's Howdens 
It really could do with accessible features like reduced height counter area and adjustable height hob etc. But that's wayyyyyyy to expensive and should save up for a wet room first.
It's a very nice kitchen (and bathroom). | |||

"Mine is OK. Was in good condition when I bought the house, so haven't done much, except build additional cupboard. Not enough space but I acquire junk. Could do with additional counter space too."

"Hi H&S. I love my kitchen and designed it myself after getting wren and Howdens to design something for me. It's worth using them to steal some good ideas. When I had a quote from Howdens, I was shocked at how much they trued to have my pants down over the prices. My friend had the same units and I knew exactly what he had paid. Others have mentioned don't go down the island route, but I love mine. I guess it depends on how much room you have to play with. After some research, I found a place called DIYkitchens .com and they have a showroom up Doncaster way that's worth visiting. The units are really good quality and very reasonable. " I should add that units all come pre made and all you have to do is pop the feet on. | |||
