Stage 1: What goes on in your kitchen?

We all use our kitchen space in different ways. You will want your new kitchen to reflect your needs. It is an opportunity to change the layout, perhaps introduce some new lighting and make more of the space for creative cooking, eating or entertaining. Have you always wanted a sleek, minimalistic look or are you more country kitchen with a beautiful wooden table for family meals and gatherings? Whatever it is, discussion and planning are the key to success.

Stage 2: What space do you have?

You may be considering extending your kitchen space or simply replacing an existing kitchen. Either way it is important to measure and survey the area to ensure a specific plan can be drawn. Our designers will carry out a full survey to include position of utility services, electrics, tiling and flooring. We will create a CAD drawing not only best suited to the space available but also what you are looking for in your kitchen.

Step 3: Get planning

There are four basic kitchen layouts: Linear, Gallery, U shape and L shape. Most are L or U shaped. Some may have a centre island. Correctly designed, each layout should produce a functional, organised working area incorporating some, if not all, of your favourite items. You may have to compromise on some things, but with good planning, you won’t be disappointed with the finished results.

All you need to do now is choose your style.
