I love all your ideas....bu as we currently have a new + good bin in there already, i don't want to spend another $100+ on another..and this is only a temporary solution...for the nxt few years..as the kitchen won't last much longer. I already have my 'kitchen' cleaning products under my sink..which is unfortunately a separate cupboard to my bin. We couldn't fit the bin under the sink! Prob not much point me taking the cleaning stuff out of my laundry to put in the bin cupboard!! I think i might put some plywood up beside the bin to keep one side of the cupboard separate! That way i have at least 1/2 cupboard of useful space!!

Black and yellow are both very strong colour choices and I feel you'd be sick of them before it was time to change them. Black also shows marks more than you'd think. Clear is fine, but have you considered a piece of art behind clear?There are several companies that do this, imageglass.co.nz had one with tuis in it which has black and yellow. As for size are you having a range hood? If so this might affect your choice of size.

I am about to finally order our kitchen and wonder what the opinion is on 20 mm benchtop (engineered stone) or 30 mm. We are having Heritage Ezi Venice extrusion handles and I am a bit worried that maybe they will overpower the 20 mm benchtop? The cupboards are white and the benchtop is Grigio Mist (grey) and still deciding on a handle colour! Cheers and thanks :_

Hi , I think I posted this incorrectly the other day , and I'm not sure if fellow houzzers can see it , just a general enquiry that has sort of gotten me interested in higher end kitchen finishes . Thanks heaps .
