4 Good Reasons to Buy Free-Standing Kitchen Units Instead Of Built-in Units
Revamping your home? Need a new kitchen for an office or home, or any other type of residence? If the answer is yes, you will probably need to get good looking, practical, and highly functional kitchen units. The question is whether you should go with a fully installed kitchen with built-in units, or whether you should rather buy free-standing kitchen units. There are, of course, benefits to both, but choosing to buy free-standing kitchen units provides you with benefits that built-in units cannot.
It is not that common to see freestanding kitchen units anymore, but a few decades ago, it was very common for all kitchen units to be freestanding and fully movable. At the time, the only built-in part of the kitchen was the sink, because it needed to be connected to suitable plumbing. Later, freestanding kitchen units became unfashionable, and people started choosing built-in units over freestanding units.
It does seem, however, that this trend is reversing, and it is not unusual to find newly built homes or revamped kitchens that contain freestanding units nowadays. It seems that the practicalities and flexibility of the freestanding kitchen unit is being rediscovered – only with a twist. Nowadays, new advances, materials, and clever design make them a lot more attractive and practical than before!
If you choose to buy free-standing kitchen units, you will be able to benefit from the following:
- Flexibility: You can change your kitchen configuration if you need to. Sometimes, a new fridge or stove may require some extra space, and being able to move your freestanding units around to make space, or to reconfigure the layout of the kitchen to accommodate new appliances or implements can be very important.
- Easy to Clean: When you buy free-standing kitchen units, you will find that it is a lot easier to clean underneath them, because they are elevated from the ground. They can also be moved in order to get to the spaces behind and underneath the units, and this provides you with better control over the hygiene in your kitchen.
- Good Looks: Because free-standing kitchen units are slightly elevated off the ground (they usually stand on feet), they can provide a free-floating look that is lighter and easier on the eye than bulky built-in units.
- Easy Installation: Built-in units can take ages to install and cost a fortune. If you buy free-standing kitchen units, you will just have to provide the relevant measurements and choose the finishes and colours you want. The units are then either delivered in kit form and put together in the kitchen, or can be delivered as full units that just need to be placed in the correct positions.
