What kind of Furniture
The trend over the years has been for fitted kitchens. However, some people see the benefits of freestanding kitchen furniture. There are several advantages to this if you have enough space. You get a very individual look with attractive cupboards, freestanding work surfaces such as wheeled butchers blocks that can be tucked out of the way when not in use. You can consider a kitchen table instead of an island. When you move, your lovely kitchen furniture moves with you.
Freestanding furniture tends not to be so practical in a very small space though, where fitted cabinets can be designed to maximize use of awkward corners.

Your lifestyle, now and what it will be in the foreseeable future. Where are you now and where will you be in five or ten years time?
