Kitchen Design and Made-to-Measure Kitchen Cabinets in Çayyolu

In the district’s older complex flats, the kitchen is usually a long, narrow room. At these dimensions, the most efficient layout is often an L-shape or a galley. In an L-shaped layout, the corner is put to use for pots and pans with carousel or pull-out corner fittings, while the short leg can be given over to a prep worktop in front of the window. In a galley layout, one wall is devoted to cooking and the sink, the opposite wall to tall cabinets, the fridge and a built-in oven column, with the aisle between kept wide enough for two people to work at once.

When choosing styles during the kitchen design process in Çayyolu, we prioritise solutions that make a narrow kitchen look wider. Handleless doors with a gola profile remove the projections that catch hips and elbows in corridor-like kitchens, while light-toned, simple modern doors reflect the light and make the space feel airy. In the larger kitchens of semi-detached and detached houses with gardens, a U-shaped layout or an island with framed doors in a classic or country style can also work well.

• L-shaped or galley layouts for narrow kitchens
• Handleless doors and gola profiles for a projection-free passage
• Dead corners put to use with corner fittings
• U-shaped layouts, islands and framed doors in villa kitchens

The main factors that determine the price of kitchen cabinets in Çayyolu are the total running length of the cabinets, the type of door, internal hardware such as runners, hinges and pantry mechanisms, the type and thickness of the worktop, the built-in appliances, and the extent of the strip-out of the old kitchen and changes to the services. In the district’s older buildings, the plumbing and wiring item is often more decisive than in new buildings, which is why we show every item on a separate line in our quotation.

The look of a kitchen cabinet is determined by its doors, while its lifespan depends largely on the carcass and hardware. At the site survey we put samples side by side and explain how each material behaves in everyday use:

• Lacquered doors: give a silky, deep look; they need careful use to avoid knocks and scratches.
• Acrylic doors: their glossy surface reflects light and wipes clean easily; they make a narrow kitchen look airy.
• Membrane (vinyl-wrapped) doors: their edges can be shaped, suiting a classic style; they need care near hob and oven steam.
• Laminate doors: durable and economical; they stand out in busy family kitchens.
• Carcass: we use moisture-resistant board under the sink and around the dishwasher.
• Worktop: quartz composite is stain-resistant and easy to maintain; granite and natural stone are heat-resistant but need surface care; compact laminate is a slim-profile, economical option.

In older buildings, the most critical part of a kitchen renovation is what stays behind the cabinets. Aged or patched pipes, sockets fed from a single circuit and a gas line that falls short when the hob is moved determine the lifespan of the new kitchen. That is why, after the strip-out, we look at the exposed services and decide together with you what needs to be renewed.

If the position of the hob or combi boiler connection is changing, any change to the natural gas line is designed and carried out only by a licensed firm, and the line is not put into service without the approval of the gas distribution company. We have separate circuits run by a licensed electrician for high-power appliances such as built-in ovens, hobs and dishwashers, and where necessary we include electrical rewiring in the kitchen work.

For jobs in Çayyolu, we can schedule measuring, the worktop template and installation days at short intervals. Choosing door colours, worktop textures and handles face to face from the samples in our office is far more reliable than making decisions on a screen. If the carcasses of your existing cabinets are sound, it is also possible to balance the budget by renewing only the doors, worktop and lighting; we discuss this option openly at the site survey.
