People buy kitchens the same way they buy clothes. They hang out in the store until something catches their attention. If they can afford it, they buy it. Of course, what else would you do? \"One of the main mistakes people make when choosing a kitchen is to buy a unit door and design the kitchen around it,\" says Michael Connolly of the Lomi design company. \"The kitchen is full of things behind the door. Kitchen retailers like to sell kitchens. That\'s what they did. But it\'s always expensive to buy a kitchen. Whether you spend 3,000 euros or 30,000 euros, this will be a big sum of your savings.

Metal kitchen finishes are very popular in the world, but the price is not cheap. If money is not an object, the Cesar series includes stainless steel doors treated with a method called physical vapor deposition (PVD). This is a process used to color the metal and make it more resistant to scratch, wear and corrosion. It is also more eco-friendly than alternatives such as plating and painting. \"Physical deposition can make stainless steel look like brass, bronze or titanium,\" Connolly explained . \". \"It certainly doesn\'t look like stainless steel. \"This is the price. A standard unit, completed doors in physical deposits can cost up to 1,060 euros.

The most popular countertop material for tile makers is quartz, which starts at around 1,700 euros. \"If you only have 800 euros to spend on the countertop, then you can\'t afford to buy a stone,\" O\'Reilly explains . \". \"This is the bottom line. As we all know, we sell the countertop here for 20,000 euros. You will be looking for a chef! O\'Reilly believes that the sintering Stone will gradually replace natural materials. \"People are willing to spend extra money without worrying about their worktops,\" she said . \". \"I think very few people will have marble countertops in five years. \"I told her the marble could be cold -- Look at the material. She agreed: \"It\'s like looking at a tombstone.
