Guest post announcement

Friday, February 26th, 2010

We are very excited to announce that Majje, who writes the fantastic interior design blog,  Advanced Kitchen Design, will be doing a guest post on our blog in the next couple of weeks.

She is the first person to do this and we hope that more people will be interested in becoming guest bloggers on The Kitchenista.

Her blog contains a wealth of kitchen design tips and ideas and is a site we regularly read. She writes a very frank and honest blog – check out what she had to say about Magnet in this post. It was a review of our new ranges and the sale, highlighting how the recent 20% off offer was unique and the first time it has been done.

Here is a little bit more about her…

Majjie is Marion John’s rather opinionated online alter ego. She came into being when the new Advanced Kitchen Design website was set up in 2009 … Marion is an independent kitchen designer based in Nottingham. She set up her business, Advanced Kitchen Design, four and a half years ago, and works directly for individual clients designing whatever sort of kitchen they require. Prior to becoming a freelance designer, she had ten years of experience in the kitchen market, working for a number of quite different kitchen suppliers.

So, with such a wealth of experience, we are looking forward to reading what she has to say on ‘the modern fitted kitchen’

Add value to your home

Monday, October 5th, 2009

A new kitchen is one of the best ways to add value to the cost of your home which is more important than ever in the current climate. But don’t just take our word for it. Here on the Kitchenista, property expert Kirstie Allsop exclusively reveals her top home improvement tips….

“Getting a new kitchen is one of the top three ways to add value to your home. This is because changing a kitchen is much easier than you think.

“The perceived value of the kitchen from prospective buyers is much higher than the real cost of the kitchen. The kitchen and bathroom are the two main rooms that sell a house so anything that can be done to update these two rooms and make your home attractive to potential buyers the better.”

Channel 4 Homes also think that a new kitchen is a must for anyone looking to boost their home’s value and it can add as much as 10% in value. It’s the first thing a potential buyer will look at and it’s the room you’re likely to spend much of your time in.
