Kitchen supply

We are putting together a list of online stores selling kitchen supply & decor – from cabinets, furniture & lighting to appliances, gadgets & kitchenware. This is taking us some time, but as soon as they’re ready we’ll publish the available categories here on the blog..

So far you can find useful link to kitchen supply stores in the following areas:

Kitchen sinks

Choose your sink carefully. First think about size & space – do you need a double or single bowl? Then think about the material – do you want stainless steel, ceramic, copper or stone? This will depend on your budget and the style you want. Stainless steel & stone are very suitable for contemporary kitchens whilst an enamel or brass sink complements the country look. A farmhouse (know also as apron or butler) sink goes well with the country look and it’s suitable for laundry & utility rooms, whilst stainless steel can complement almost all d?cor styles and it’s very practical and easy to clean. Also, you might consider a seamless or self-rimming, seamless or undermounted sink – these are very trendy solutions – and will not put much weight on your budget! The most expensive sinks are those that are moulded within the worktop material – be that stainless steel, concrete, Corian, glass, stone etc. Go to kitchen sink stores

Kitchen faucets – Kitchen taps

Again, the choice is almost endless. You can have any combination of singe/double hole with single/double lever taps – surface or wall mounted. If you’re remodeling your kitchen for a long time ahead, I’d recommend you invest in a pull-out faucet and a filter -you will not regret it. The double lever-double hole taps best suit the country style kitchen  – whilst a single hole-single lever faucet is the must for the contemporary look. Wall-mounted faucets are most suitable for industrial-style kitchens and in laundries & utility rooms. Go to kitchen faucets

Kitchenware

With a revived interest in cooking and dining, getting the right kitchenware can be a bit challenging. Check out the stores we’ve put together to find the right cookware, bakeware and tableware. Always get two sets of tableware – dinnerware, flatware & glassware for everyday use and for guests (the second set doesn’t have to be the best china, crystals and all that – just a bit more formal than your everyday pieces which have to handle normal wear & tear). Go to stores selling kitchenware..

Small kitchen appliances

As home cooking is getting more popular – it is essential to have the right kitchen equipment. But don’t just buy every gadget, choose the once you need on a daily basis such as a coffee maker, kettle or toaster. If you’re into healthy living consider investing in a good quality juicer, steamer, electric grill and bread maker. If you’re a serious cook – you’ll need a good food processor & mixer.  Other gadgets such as ice cream makers, popcorn poppers, deep fryers, waffle makers etc. normally end up on the top shelves in most people’s cabinets – but, if you’re really into them, get one from our list of online stores selling kitchen equipment.

Kitchen appliances

When you remodel a kitchen, your budget & your space will determine or restrict what sort of kitchen appliance you can get. When it comes to appliances you must be sensible about them: don’t buy the most expensive or the cheapest or the best looking products – get the best performing ones. Look around in your local store, write down the model you like, then search the net for reviews and opinions. Then find the best online deals. Here is a list of online stores selling kitchen appliances
