The Word
I knew what I wanted... until I saw what’s new! After half an hour in the showroom, the client said, “I’m starting to listen to you now.” With so much choice out there, anyone about to design a new kitchen for themselves, its often difficult to see the wood from the trees. There are more opinions online about trends, function style, material, character etc… than anyone could ever read. Their showroom gives Alwood the opportunity to really demonstrate what is possible.
• New materials for the worktops and doors • Different layout options • Up to date appliances and accessories • Fresh opinions from professional designers Nobody regularly buys a new fitted kitchen for themselves so the offerings tend to be very different or completely new. Looking round full-size room-sets allows and experience yet unmatched by tech or drawings. The use of textures can only be fully experienced by touch and the true character of a room by being in it. There are 2 recommendations that stand out when visiting the showroom:
1) Try to think how you want to use your kitchen. 2) Come with an open mind. www.alwoodkitchens.com
