DIY Homefit launches new EXPRESS range

DIY Homefit are delighted to announce that we have just launched a new range of replacement kitchen doors! The DIY Homefit EXPRESS range is so-called because the products are able to be fast-tracked through the factory to reach you more quickly.

Ten Thousand Bedrooms!

At DIY Homefit we recently came across this old song by Dean Martin. The basic idea is that ten thousand bedrooms are all too few. To elaborate:

5 Top Kitchen Trends for 2015

2015 is already well under way! We thought it would be interesting to do some research on the top trends predicted for kitchen design and kitchen cabinets in 2015. We have combined them into five key pointers to help you plan your brand new kitchen!

Don’t Spend Too Much Time in the Kitchen!

At DIY Homefit we were intrigued to read a recent article in The Telegraph that the more time people spend preparing meals, the greater their risk of health problems linked with heart disease, such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol. This was the conclusion of a recent study, led by Dr Brad Appelhans, of Rush University Medical Centre in Chicago.

Sleeping Beautifully!

At DIY Homefit we enjoyed Christmas and New Year, including the obligatory pantomime. Oh yes we did! We’ve already mentioned Cinderella in another recent blog but another of our favourites is Sleeping Beauty. Imagine waking up after 100 years! What would be the first thing you would want to see? Definitely not a bedroom needing refurbishment we assume.

Kitchen Drawers with a Difference

Every year in Las Vegas, a major event takes place that you may not have heard of before. It’s the “KBIS” – The Kitchen and Bath Industry Show, the world’s largest international tradeshow event dedicated to its industry. KBIS is an inspiring, interactive showcase of new products for kitchens and bathrooms, including kitchen appliances, kitchen cabinets, and kitchen accessories.

Driving Home for Christmas!

It’s that time of year when everyone is all over the place! Everywhere you go there are people. Whether they are shopping or socialising or just out walking, Christmas is definitely not a time to escape people!  At DIY Homefit we confess that we find it fascinating watching groups of people during the festive season and trying to work out how they “belong” together. Are they out and about genuinely enjoying themselves – or just desperately trying to pass the time?!

Sliding Doors

At DIY Homefit we love the film “Sliding Doors”. Just to jog your memory, it’s the one where Gwyneth Paltrow’s life gets split into two parallel universes at the point of her catching or missing a train. The film charts the different paths her life would take in each of those scenarios. Especially at this seasonal time of reflection, it’s fascinating to ponder the great “What If’s” of our lives and wonder how things might have been if we’d either caught or missed our equivalent of that train.

It Fits!

At DIY Homefit we love Christmas! The lights, the festivities and the general celebratory atmosphere are a refreshing antidote from the day to day cares of life. It is also, of course, pantomime season!  One of our favourites is Cinderella. It has such a combination of fantasy and nostalgia that it never fails to bring a smile to our faces.

Designer Furniture at Affordable Prices!

At DIY Homefit we were fascinated to read in the press recently about a London penthouse being sold for apparently the highest price on record for a single property, even beating the sale of an apartment in One Hyde Park earlier in the year for £140 million.  The apartment, in Clarges Street, is part of a new development that will eventually have access to a wellness spa, swimming pool and cinema!
