kitchen unit matching....
In a fitted kitchen I want to convert the space for an integrated washing machine into a cupboard.
Problem is I can't as yet ID the kitchen to buy a new door etc and ideally a matching carcass. Even though it's maybe 5or6 yrs old, so far, it's not Howdens, wickes or bnq. Clues:- the other (white) carcasses have grey/silver coloured board edges (against which the doors etc close) The handles are bow shaped but with a return on each end - like a neat letter "D" with the majority of the vertical line erased. From googling these seem unusual and therefore may be a big clue? The doors are Not high gloss but a kind of mid sheen light cream colour, shaker stylee. Rest if it seems unremarkable. Any thoughts anyone? TIA Jim K |

Indeed I took some but it's virtually impossible to see what I have described any better by looking at them... Jim K |

We have done 3 kitchens in different homes. The design and manufacture was by a small (10 man perhaps) local outfit. Materials and components come from big producers but with them producing the carcasses and design. So door/drawer handles don't necessarily match those found at Wickes et al. You could try checking the local press for kitchen design adverts and see if they were involved. -- Tim Lamb |

Any thoughts anyone? TIA Jim K Carcass should be dead easy to DIY if you have to. There are plenty of places that sell made to measure kitchen doors. You might not get a perfect match, but hey ho.

So, the integrated appliance has a door. If you have carcass units either side, you just need to work out a way of relocating the hinges for the existing door, and supporting some shelves inside the space.
