Kitchen Tips

Have you ever worked out how many hours you spend in your kitchen every day? Even more revealing, how much of that time is spent on unnecessary work caused by poor design?

Simple things, like continually criss-crossing the kitchen to prepare food. Or double handling your crockery.

It's possible to cut the time you spend in your kitchen by up to half... time you could spend doing the things you never seem to be able time for in your busy day.

Here are six simple tips to ensure that you have a kitchen that does the work for you - not the other way around!

 

Make sure your design consultant is Certified.

This is no joke. If your kitchen designer isn't a Certified Kitchen Designer (Kitchen and Bathroom Designers Institute) you could end up feeling like you should be certified!

Inexperienced sales people can be trained to place pre-fabricated cabinets around your kitchen walls. However, that's not true kitchen design.

Design is all about solving problems, not creating them.

Your Décor Kitchens layout is designed by a Certified Kitchen Designer (CKD) — a member of the KBDI — to ensure that your family's needs are met properly. It's a vital safeguard.

Focus on true value

Smart consumers now realise that the value isn't merely the benefits gained minus the price paid. It's the benefits less ALL the conditions you have to meet in order to gain those benefits. Price is only the first condition to be met.

So if you get a bargain-priced kitchen, but you have to work twice as hard to make it work at all, or it begins to fall apart, where are the real benefits? (Peace of mind will certainly not be one of them.)

The intelligent consumer saves money where it genuinely counts: on the mass-produced components of their kitchen... like appliances, fittings, floor coverings, paint, wallpaper and tiles.

They refuse to compromise on either quality or value-for-money when it comes to the critical design and construction aspects of a new kitchen.

At Décor Kitchens you enjoy true value for money — PLUS terrific savings.

Eliminate unnecessary risk

It makes no sense at all to accept unnecessary risks of any kind. You need to be in control of the creation of your new kitchen at every stage, from design to construction and installation.

At Décor Kitchens we help you achieve this control by providing you with reliable information, trained advisors, qualified designers and constant communication.

But that's not all...

Before construction begins, you have the reassuring opportunity to actually view your new kitchen in 3D from any angle you choose on our computer simulator.

See how it will look in your home. See how the various components relate to each other. In other words, remove any risk that you'll end up with a kitchen that frustrates instead of fulfilling your dreams.

Refuse to compromise on quality

Don't be fooled by the notion that quality costs more. It's usually the other way around. Poor quality doesn't last. You have to work harder to offset the deficiencies as things fall apart and it robs you of any lasting enjoyment.

You end up having to replace or repair things in a very short time. Any savings you gain by cutting quality are illusory.

The old saying "quality remains long after the price is forgotten" is just as true of poor quality at a cut price.

Quality materials and craftsmanship are backed by innovative design features exclusive to Décor Kitchens. Our adherence to Australian standards also helps ensure the quality of your new kitchen.

Get the best professional advice

There's a lot more to successful kitchen design than just style. It's the things you can't see that make the real difference between delight and despair when it comes to actually living with your new kitchen from day to day.

Because you deal only with people who are qualified at Décor Kitchens, the advice you receive is reliable — and designed to be the best for you, not just the kitchen manufacturer! It's an important difference.

It's all in your kitchen layout

When you boil it all down, the ultimate difference between a great kitchen and an ordinary one isn't the finishes or the styling. It's the kitchen layout — whether it eases your work load, streamlines your work flow and helps you achieve satisfaction and enjoyment.

It's not the appearance of the various doors but what's behind them that counts.

And it's what's behind your kitchen doors that sets Décor Kitchens apart from all the rest, with innovative features like…

 

  • Roll-out shelves
  • Metal sided pot drawers with full-height sides that prevent handles protruding
  • Rotating corner shelves or corner drawers.
  • Double layered cutlery inserts
  • Bulk storage units
  • Microwave recesses
  • Display cabinets for the best crockery, glasses and favourite china (to protect them and reduce dusting)
  • Mixing centres
  • Shelving for your cookbooks
  • Appliance centres
  • Waste storage systems
  • Shelves, drawers and doors geared to your personal height and reach
  • Corner pantries with glide-away doors to help the busy cook
  • Pull-out benches to expand bench space when needed
  • Kickplate drawers under cabinets for storing wine, platters, baking dishes or other sundry items
