Designing your dream kitchen begins with us listening to your needs, your lifestyle and how your family lives and works together. We understand that even the smallest details can have a big impact and we’re here to ensure every one of them is considered. When visiting your home for a consultation, we take the time to carefully analyse and plan your space, listening to your needs, understanding your lifestyle and finding the best ways to make the most of your home.
Stage 1 – Showroom visit
We always recommend visiting our showroom to experience the quality of our cabinets firsthand and get some inspiration for your project and what we can do for you. From our viewing window, you can see the craftmanship in action within our workshop. You’re welcome to bring your measurements or architects drawings along so we can discuss design ideas and specifications in detail. We’ll also show you a wide range of materials, colours, fixtures and fittings to help bring your vision to life and create a ‘wish list’ for your project. Following this visit, we’ll email you an initial design concept and estimate.
We take a small booking deposit to secure your slot in the workshop and this enables us to develop your design further. This will be refunded against your final payment on completion of your project. If you’re happy to progress, we can then move forward to Stage 2.
Stage 2 – Home visit
The second stage of the design process is the home visit, where we spend time with you to gain a full understanding of your requirements. We take accurate measurements and provide designs to ensure we’re capturing your concept before moving on to develop the detailed plans.
Stage 3 – Design and Visuals
The third stage of the design process is all down to us! Using the latest design software, we create scaled plans, elevation drawings, and 3D visuals to give you a clear and realistic impression of how your kitchen will look. We invest the time to ensure every detail is thoroughly presented and accurately represented. At this stage, we provide a fully itemised quote detailing cabinetry costs, worktops and appliance specifications. We then invite you to our showroom, where we present the design and walk through every element including materials, carpentry methods and all the finer details.
Stage 4- Perfecting
After presenting the designs to you, we take as much time as needed to refine and perfect every detail. We can make changes and tweaks to the 3D visuals to make them precise. This could be as simple as just showing you the kitchen in a different colour or changing aspects of the layout. At this stage we also finalise your colours and worktops along with decisions on handles, appliances, sinks and taps if we haven’t already done so.
Stage 5 – Bringing the design to life
Once you have fallen in love with the design that we create for you we will then arrange another site survey to take final measurements before creating technical drawings for the workshop. You’re very welcome to visit us as often as you like to see your bespoke kitchen come to life throughout the build process. Once the kitchen has been built, we set it up in our workshop for you to personally come and view before we de-construct it ready to pack it up to bring to your home for installation.
