Frequently Asked Questions FAQ’s – People Also Ask

What is the difference between inframe and lay on kitchens?

The terms “inframe” and “lay-on” refer to two distinct styles of kitchen cabinet construction and design. Here’s a clear breakdown of the difference between them:

Feature Inframe Lay-On (Frameless)
Door position Inside the cabinet frame On top of the cabinet box
Look Traditional, classic Modern, sleek
Visible frame Yes No
Cost Higher Lower
Durability Very durable Good
Space efficiency Slightly less Slightly more
Installation More complex Easier

How much does a bespoke inframe kitchen cost?

How long is a piece of string??? Cost depends mainly on the number of cabinets being made. It can range from €15,000 upwards.

What storage solutions work best in small kitchens?

🔹 1. Pull-Out Storage Units ie larders, magic corners (LeMans), spice racks.
🔹 2. Drawers – deep drawers with internal dividers for pots/pans, cutlery trays.
🔹 3. Tall Cabinets to the Ceiling – this avoids wasted upper space.
🔹 4. Open Shelving or Rails – for items used daily, hanging utensils, mugs..
🔹 5. Multi-Function Furniture – Island units with built in shelves, drawers.
🔹 6. Integrated appliances – built in microwave/combi ovens.
🔹 7. Integrated Appliances

      • Choose compact or integrated appliances to free up counter and floor space.
      • A microwave in a wall unit, dishwasher drawers, or combi ovens are ideal space-savers.

Can you customise kitchen units to fit awkward spaces?

The simple answer is YES.

It’s worth getting a professional kitchen designer to survey the space. They can spot opportunities (like hidden voids behind plasterboard or unusual plumbing routes) that others might miss.
