What are Thermolaminated Doors?

Thermolaminated doors, also known as vinyl or thermo doors, are made from moisture-resistant MDF with a durable vinyl laminate surface. These doors offer a smooth, imperfection-free finish, making them ideal for busy households due to their resistance to scratches, stains, and wear. They come in a wide range of colours and finishes, and various door profiles, providing an affordable alternative to polyurethane doors. Thermolaminated doors are highly durable, low-maintenance, and come with a seven-year warranty, although they should not be exposed to high heat levels.

Choosing the right kitchen handles is essential for style and functionality. Options include handleless designs like sharknose profiles, push catches, and finger rails for a sleek look. For those preferring traditional handles, consider the kitchen style, comfort, quality, and size. Both knobs and handles can enhance your kitchen's aesthetics by matching finishes and textures with other elements like sinks and tapware.

Aesthetic & Practical Value of Shelves in Kitchen Design

Incorporating shelves into your kitchen design adds both aesthetic and practical value. Shelves can showcase art, ceramics, and plants while providing storage for frequently used items. Options include tall open shelves, wall-mounted shelves, and floating shelves, each enhancing your kitchen’s style and functionality. Effective styling involves positioning larger items first, creating depth, limiting colour palettes, adding greenery, and avoiding clutter. Rearranging items periodically can refresh your kitchen’s look without a complete overhaul.

At Built to Desire, we offer creative solutions for hiding appliances in your kitchen. Consider integrated models for a seamless look or an appliance cabinet with bi-fold, pocket, or lift-up doors to keep frequently used items out of sight. Deep drawers are perfect for storing less frequently used appliances, and a walk-in or return pantry can house small appliances neatly. Creating specific stations for tasks like coffee making can also help keep your kitchen organised and aesthetically pleasing.
