Curved Kitchen Units

Curved kitchen cabinets and doors are the new fashion but what's so great about them?

Stunning appearance
The first and probably the biggest upsell to these curved units is its appearance. This stylised look is modern while still offering a softer more gentle look and feel. At a premium price these units offer a more extravagant feel and even buying off the shelf these offer an exclusive and custom built kitchen look.

A better use of corners
Rather than blank kitchen counter ends or doorless ends to a kitchen isle unit these curved units give you more cupboard doors for the space. Giving you more shelf and storage space without reaching in the back corners of units.

Family Safety
With these curved designs you also get the advantage of less sharp points for little ones. Making the design more family friendly than the traditional boxed versions.

Durability
Kitchen corners create potential weak points in the design. Vulnerable points prone to being easily marked or dented. With laminated kitchen this can also create a weak point for peeling or chipping.

Social Orientated Design
Finally these curved designs offer a more circular look and open up more socially inclusive options for areas such as breakfast bars of kitchen counters.

There are 3 main reasons units are discounted or put on sale the trick to finding them is to look out for the following:

• Kitchen unit sales by buying onlineBuying online is almost always cheaper than in the showrooms and shops. The reason is simple - online shops don't have the overhead that local showrooms can incur and their ability to work UK wide increases there reach and so margins can be lower and still profitable. Top tip for buying online sale units is to make sure you check reviews to check the companies credibility and unit quality.
  
• Ex-display or marginally marked sale units
  You can find ex-display units in any large kitchen show room and even the big layers like b&q will periodically sell of old display units at a discounted price. However draw backs can include mild damage or fading. 
• Expiring or outdated kitchen ranges or lines on sale
  Some units and styles simple never go sale but different kitchen trends or styles can create ranges which come and go. Expiring lines and ranges will often be put on sale to shift the last few. Again local show rooms and kitchen stores are the best place to start to look for these.
