I've always really enjoyed cooking, and never been happier when left alone in the kitchen trying to create a culinary masterpiece. So whenever I've been flat-hunting, it has always been important to me to have a decent kitchen where I can wind down from work. As a renter, I've never even thought about what a kitchen would cost and came across the most interesting kitchen I've ever seen:
Marazzi Design unveiled their newest kitchen - the Colosseo Oro. This 24-carat gold leaf kitchen has crocodile-skin finishings and glittered Venetian glass surfaces. Only 10 will be made and they start at £300,000. If the price doesn't put you off, please be aware that you do need a kitchen that is a whopping 12 square metres. I think i may just get this rather fantastic tap for £6,000 instead:
To put the monetary value into perspective, the average house price in the UK is £228,000.The average kitchen costs ranges from £8,000 to £11,000 which, when considering the average house price, equates to around 4%. Therefore, taking the logic that this £300,000 kitchen represents 4% of someone's budget to buy a new home, their house should be worth £7.5million.
Whilst thinking about this, I also came across Harrod's solid crystal bathtub which is on the market for £530,000:
There are rumours that One Hyde Park's penthouse has been gutted as the tenant didn't like the interior design. Maybe this will be what replaces Candy & Candy's composition. If he really wanted to go overboard, he could always purchase this £5million gold toilet from Hong Kong as well! You have to love the "No Photos" signs!
