Replacement Kitchen Doors – Easy way to renovate

The first thing one thinks of when one hears the word doors is something that one walks through. The first thing many Europeans think of when they hear DSK is a recent contender for President of France.

However, DSK or Door Store Kent is in fact a leading supplier of cupboard doors, in particular bedroom and kitchen cupboards. Storage is important in all parts of the house, but nowhere more so than in the kitchen. This means that there are usually numerous cupboards both under the counter and wall-hung with a combined surface area that is sometimes greater than that of the floor. It follows that the appearance of the cupboard doors greatly influences the appearance of the whole kitchen, and choosing doors is one of the most important decisions to be made when planning a kitchen.

DSK has doors to fit every decorating scheme from traditional to minimalist. Doors by Zurfiz, for example have no fixtures or texture. Their completely smooth surface gives the impression of an uninterrupted wall, especially when the opening mechanism is a handle-less rail. Overall this is the ultimate modern, uncluttered look, which many strive for but few achieve. The “wall” can be in metallic zinc, anthracite or black, or in glossy colour such as white, plum or saffron. A wood look is also available.

Another brand that DSK carries is Bella which offers a range of more traditional doors with panels and other surface features. There is also a line of windowed doors that is doors with glass panes, from a single frame to 6 panes.

In their economy range DSK offers plain doors with a wood finish or bright, crisp colours like blue, red, green and yellow or more muted tones like cider pear, sand, cappuccino and buttermilk.

The doors are all top quality, and they are supplied by environmentally friendly manufacturers who are committed to using only ethically sourced raw materials. This means that all wood products come from sustainable forests that have been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.

The doors are not complete, and the look is unfinished, without door handles and drawers pulls. DSK has a large selection of door handles ranging from sleek, geometric and modern to more elaborate, more traditional models. The slim D handle and the Cylinder handle are both very thin, and are functional without impacting the surface appearance of the doors. On the other hand, the knobs and handles embellished with Swarovski crystals make a stronger statement than any door they may placed on. Also making a strong style statement are the chased Valentino handles, moulded Bordeaux handles and the cage handles which get their name from twisted strands of metal.

Wooden or metal knobs are an attractive alternative to handles and DSK has a large variety available to complement any kitchen style: modern, retro, traditional, country or eclectic. It would be possible to put a different handle or knob on every drawer and door in the kitchen, and still not run out of options.
