Nicola planned the kitchen herself using Magnet’s online kitchen design tool, choosing shelves rather than wall cabinets to blend into the living areas. ‘I’d seen The Shaker Kitchen Company on Facebook and loved their dark painted units,’ she says. ‘They were quite expensive but you can price up each cupboard online so there are no surprises. We used our own fitter to save money. I love the £40 vinyl splashback behind the cooker. When it fitted perfectly, I was over the moon.’
