Did you love this week’s Block kitchens? The Good Guys Kitchens, who supplied all the essentials like cabinetry, benchtops and appliances, asked the contestants to share their thoughts on their finished kitchens with us.
Alisa and Lysandra
What were the benefits of working with a professional kitchen designer? Jo, our designer, was amazing; she was of benefit because we could combine her expertise and our creativity to create something pretty amazing. We trusted her and that is essential.
What elements have you added to make your kitchen stand out from the crowd? We believe our point of difference was the layout of our kitchen. Our galley style kitchen was seven metres and had a 200mm servery which set it apart. We added a timber breakfast area which completed our kitchen.
What do you think is clever about your design? I think the positioning of our kitchen was clever; placing the kitchen as soon as you walk into the apartment gave it instant wow factor.
When shopping at The Good Guys, were there any appliances that particularly appealed to you?
The Dyson vacuum cleaners are hard to go past, that’s for sure. There were so many awesome appliances at The Good Guys, it was hard not to go home with the whole store.
