Kitchen cabinets FAQs
What style of kitchen cabinets should I choose?
The best kitchen cabinets balance strength, durability and a finish you’ll love living with for years to come. Look for quality materials and construction that can withstand the knocks, spills and repeated use of everyday kitchen life.
Popular cabinet styles include classic Shaker kitchens and sleek modern designs. Each creates a different look and feel, so it’s worth exploring the styles that best suit your home, taste and the way you want your kitchen to feel – something our expert designers can help you explore.
Are Magnet kitchen cabinets flat-pack or prebuilt?
Magnet kitchen cabinets are available both prebuilt and flat-pack, so you can choose the option that best suits your project. Our prebuilt cabinets arrive with much of the construction already taken care of, helping to make installation more straightforward.
Our prebuilt cabinets have also been recognised as a Which? Best Buy six years in a row, reflecting the quality, durability and craftsmanship built into every cabinet.
Your Magnet designer can talk you through both options and help you decide which is right for your kitchen, your installer and the way you want your project to come together.
How do I know how many cabinets I need for my kitchen?
There’s no set number. The right amount of cabinetry depends on the size and layout of your room, how much storage you need and, importantly, how you want your kitchen to work.
As a rough guide, a small kitchen of around 10m² might have 8 units, while a medium 15m² kitchen could have around 12. For larger spaces, around 16 units may suit a 20m² kitchen, rising to around 20 units for a 25m² kitchen. You can use our kitchen cost calculator to get an initial idea of how many units you might need and what your kitchen could cost.
Are installation and delivery included in the price?
The cost of your kitchen is built up from the individual elements you choose, from cabinets and worktops to appliances, handles and finishing touches. Once our team has worked with you to get the design right, we will bring everything together into a full quote, including any optional services such as delivery and installation.
How do I choose a cabinet colour that won’t date quickly?
Choosing a kitchen colour is about more than following trends. Think about the natural light in your room, its size and layout, the colours and materials already in your home, and the atmosphere you want to create. These can all influence how a shade looks and feels in your space.
If you’re not sure where to start, explore our kitchen colour ideas and kitchen colour combinations for advice on everything from timeless palettes to pairing cabinets with complementary tones and finishes.
How do I match my cabinet colour to my worktops?
Start by deciding whether you want your cabinets and worktops to blend or create contrast. Light or neutral worktops can help darker cabinetry feel balanced and open, while deeper or more richly patterned surfaces can add depth against lighter cabinets. Natural wood and stone-effect finishes are also useful for bringing warmth and texture into the scheme.
It’s worth looking at the whole room, too. Flooring, splashbacks, handles and natural light can all change how your cabinet and worktop colours sit together. Our kitchen worktop buying guide offers more advice and inspiration for building a cohesive palette.
And if you’re still weighing up your options, our designers can help bring the different colours, materials and finishes together so you can see what works best in your space.
Can I install my own Magnet kitchen?
Yes. If you’d prefer to arrange installation yourself, you can use your own trusted trade professional. Alternatively, Magnet can provide a specialist team to take care of the installation for you.
If you’re only beginning to think about a new kitchen, you don’t need to decide how you’ll install it just yet. We can guide you through the process and your options as your plans take shape.
Do you work with tradespeople?
Yes. Magnet’s heritage in kitchens and joinery dates back to 1918, and today we work closely with trade professionals as well as homeowners. If you already have a fitter you know and trust, we can work with them to help make the journey from design through to installation run smoothly.
If you’re a trade professional, you can also access dedicated products, support and services through Magnet Trade.
