These days, renovators are spoilt for choice when it comes to budget-friendly kitchen suppliers. With big box retailers like IKEA and Bunnings now stocking flatpack cabinetry and a range of appliances, it has never been easier to plan and purchase a new kitchen.
This begs the question, if you can now fit out your new kitchen and furnish the rest of your house from the same place, why should you make the extra effort to work with a specialist supplier like Smart Kitchen ?
Quality and cost
The biggest difference between a ‘superstore’ (like Bunnings or IKEA) and a kitchen specialist is what you get for your money.
While homewares and DIY businesses try to lure customers in with low- cost offers, these usually come at the expense of quality. From using inferior materials to less stringent manufacturing controls – and requiring the customer to put their products together themselves – there are a range of tactics used to keep production costs down.
However, when you work with a company like Smart Kitchen , you can rest assured knowing that you have not compromised on quality. Because of this we can offer a 10 year guarantee which is longer than most other suppliers. We only use the best materials in the manufacturing of all of our products and focus on maximising our efficiency to keep our prices low. This means that, not only are our kitchens great value, they’re built to last.
Barbadian owned and locally made
Unlike most large general retailers, Smart Kitchen is Barbadian- owned. As such, we understand what Barbadian homeowners expect from their kitchen and appreciate the specific requirements of our unique way of life. We’re also across the latest local design trends and can help our customers create a space that will be the envy of all of their neighbours.
All of our products are made here in Barbados and everything we stock meets Barbadian standards and is designed to survive our harsh climate. As we manufacture locally, we’re also less affected by border closures and transport issues, which is particularly important at the moment as some larger stores struggle to get in stock.
Free design services
While designing your dream space is one of the most fun parts of planning a kitchen upgrade, it can also be one of the most difficult. However, working with a professional Kitchen Designer can take a lot of stress out of the process. From planning the layout to selecting fixtures and finishes, a design expert can help you get the look you want and make sure you get the most for your budget.
At Smart Kitchen , we understand the difference that working with a kitchen expert can make. That’s why we offer all of our customers a free design consultation service. Not only will your designer help you plan every part of your new kitchen, but they will also work with you throughout the process.
Ease of installation
If you’ve ever tried to put together a piece of flatpack furniture, you know how much of a challenge it can be. The instructions are almost indecipherable, there’s either extra bits or important pieces missing, and the final product is never as sturdy as it should be.
When you buy your kitchen from Smart Kitchen , there’s no assembly required (besides the extra large pantry that needs to be assembled on site). All of our cabinets come pre-made, and installing them is just a matter of fixing them in place. This means you save on the labour costs of assembling them
Should you want to use one of the Smart Kitchen Recommended Installers they will install quicker and easier costing you less.
