People seeking kitchen quotes 'should add wood for a farmhouse look'

People seeking kitchen quotes 'should add wood for a farmhouse look'People wanting to recreate a traditional farmhouse style are advised to include woodwork when getting kitchen quotes.Woodwork is an important feature of kitchen quotes for anyone wanting to adopt a rustic farmhouse setting, a commentator has advised.

A traditional country kitchen is the hub of a home and is defined by its warmth, functionality and welcoming atmosphere, according to Linda Carson Pearson, writing for Helium.

Ms Pearson said that key features for a farmhouse kitchen include a large focal-point wooden table, a fireplace, vintage wooden furnishings and decorative walls.

She added: "One of the loveliest features in farmhouse décor is the woodwork including cabinetry, wood plank flooring and ceiling beams. You can find originals online and also at demolition companies that specialize in salvaged furnishings."

Alternatively, The Sun Herald suggested earlier this month that people who wanted to create a contemporary-style kitchen can achieve this with fresh finishes to units, including smooth, high-gloss and matte lacquered cabinets and work surfaces.

An apparent increase in the number of people looking for kitchen quotes has been backed up by research by Everest, which said that around 18 million people have planned DIY projects for next year and will set aside an average of £2,831 for the work.
