So to help you plan your dream kitchen, we have written an article called “Kitchens – Hot Trends for 2010″. We hope to give you a taste of what hot when it comes to kitchens this year so we have looked at kitchen trends across the main kitchen styles: Contemporary, Modern, Classic and Bespoke.
As we say in the article, kitchens in 2010 are all about warmth. Even in contemporary kitchens, adding a warm colour within the design will cosy it up. And that is precisely why two tone kitchens are so popular. Before you buy a kitchen, read this article, and our other articles in our tips and advice section. Once you have done that, you can browse through our supplier directory where you will find kitchen suppliers in your county and beyond.
If you are in the process of planning for a new kitchen, you also need to start thinking about your kitchen appliances.
One of the first things you’ll be thinking is:
“where can I get the best deal on my kitchen appliances?”
I might be a tad late with this, but this weekend you should head on down to your nearest Harvey Norman store where you will find incredible bargains. Two such bargains are a Belling 90cm Cooker available in red, black or stainless steel and a Samsung side-by-side American fridge freezer with an efficient A rating and water dispenser. Both are below:
A fabulous Belling freestanding duel fuel cooker that would compliment any kitchen for just €999
Modern Samsung side-by-side fridge freezer with water dispenser and A rating for an incredible €649
This is just a small taster of what is on offer. You will find many more bargains in-store. So head down to your nearest Harvey Norman and grab yourself a kitchen appliances package for your kitchen. You will find a store in:
Blanchardstown, Castlebar, Carrickmines Retail Park, Kinsale Road Cork, Little Island Cork, Drogheda, Dundalk, Limerick, Mullingar, Naas, Rathfarnham, Swords, Tralee and Waterford.
Cormac Murray, a kitchen specialist based in Meath, has sent us in photographs and a video of a fabulous kitchen he has just completed for a client in Malahide, Co. Dublin.
With this being a large kitchen come diner, Cormacs task was to create a kitchen that filled the room yet had interesting features and a large island to fill the floor space. Using solid walnut and cream painted units, a bespoke in-frame kitchen was designed and manufactured and I think you will all agree that the end result is fabulous.
When having a new kitchen fitted, or indeed when you just want to revamp your kitchen with some new floor tiles, there is often some confusion about when the floor should be tiled and if you need to tile underneath the kitchen units.
I get asked these questions and more all the time so I have put together a guide to tiling your kitchen floor that will hopefully answer any questions you have.
We have covered such questions as whether to tile the kitchen floor before or after the new kitchen has been fitted, how to go about tiling an existing kitchen, what to do when you have an island unit and working around floor standing kitchen appliances.

Shopping for a new kitchen can sometimes be a daunting task. What kitchen style do I like, what is the best layout, how much will I need to spend and which supplier will I choose.
Well in this article, I want to focus on the last two points, cost and supplier.
When listening to people as the look for their dream kitchen and a supplier, the one thing I hear the most is: “I got a quote off one supplier that was €6,000 and a quote off another that was €10,000.” Most people then assume that the quote for €6,000 is the best one to go with, but this isn’t always the case. I would bet anything that both quotes were for different quality of kitchens.
Now I am not saying that both kitchens would not be of good quality. But lets just say that you are pricing for a painted kitchen. One quote could be for an MDF door painted and the other quote could be for solid wood painted. The key here is to always ask each supplier what they are quoting for.
You obviously have to keep budget in mind when pricing around. But here are a few pointers:
1. Ask each supplier what materials they are quoting for.
2. When you have your quotes together, consider them all while keeping in mind what has been quoted for.
3. If you are unsure what a particular kitchen supplier has quoted for, contact them and ask them to clarify. They will be happy to do this.
There are always going to be variations in the cost from one kitchen supplier to another, but the key when shopping around is to make sure you are compairing like-with-like. That way you will be sure that you are getting the best deal and the best quality for your budget.
AGA, the worldwide famous oven brand, have launched a new limited edition 3 oven AGA in duck egg blue.
The limited edition product launch, to celebrate AGA’s 300th anniversary, features a hand enamelled AGA logo and data plate to distinguish the limited edition version from the rest. It is available with or without a module.
To complement the duck egg blue oven, AGA have also launched a limited production cast iron cookware set.
I personally think this new colour would work wonderfully well with an off white painted kitchen or a warm timber like oak. Either way, I think AGA are on to a winner with this one.
What do you think? We always love to hear from you.
