Pitfalls to look out for when designing your new kitchen or storage solution

Quite often we come across projects which had chosen hardware and board products solely based on price. It may seem like a good idea at the time, saving money, At STiRLiNG KiTCHENS we believe in only recommending premium quality European hardware together with high moisture resistant substrate. This is important particularly in kitchens, laundries and bathrooms, which are areas of high moisture.

Going for quality really does save you as the client money in the long term, and it will ensure that your design looks great for many years to come.

In terms of kitchen designs, layout is very important. You not only want your kitchen to look fantastic, but also to work great. There is nothing more frustrating than a badly laid out kitchen (looking at the many design and remodel shows on TV, there is a reason that most people ask for help in this area!). All from making sure you are utilizing blind corners, to ensuring you have a 'triangle' set up that enables you to move around your kitchen efficiently, your kitchen design layout is probably one of the most important decisions you will make in your home!

We have some great tips on what to think about when designing your dream kitchen here.

STEP 2: Design Review Confirmation

At Step Two we finalise the proposed design and materials selected (benchtops / sinks / appliances etc.) to enable us to present you with an accurate price for your consideration.

STEP 3: Push Go

Site ready: We will execute a comprehensive site measure/survey to ensure the dimensions we are working with fits the proposed design.

At this point we will present you with a contract for your acceptance/approval and a deposit is to be paid to get things underway.

We will now engage with your, or our own sub trade contractors. We take the hassle out of your project by project managing from start to finish, ensuring that your project runs to schedule, and as smoothly as possible.

STEP 4: Production

All the materials for the project are ordered, sub-contractors are notified, and the manufacturing begins.

Once your cabinetry is ready for installation, we will send you images of the completed project. Should you wish to, we also invite you to inspect the fully-assembled project prior to the site installation.

Upon the approval of the pre-installation inspection, the second installment of the invoice is required for payment.

STEP 5: Installation and Completion

Exciting times: Your project will be installed by our experienced team together with our approved sub-contractors (plumbing/electrical/benchtops/builders).

On completion, a thorough final inspection will be executed, securing your sign-off approval.
At this point, payment of the remainder of the invoice is required.
