KITCHEN DESIGN

“Design is not just what it looks and feels like. Design is how it works” Steve Jobs.

Although Steve wasn’t talking about kitchens here, we couldn’t agree with him more and it’s a principle we apply to all our kitchen designs. We’ll take the time to consider and plan every inch of your kitchen to ensure it works for you.

Our design consultations are free and we take a personal approach, getting to know you, your requirements and preferences. After a measured survey of your kitchen space, we’ll work up some options to show you, using floor plans and 3D visuals. Working with our in-house designer, you’ll be able to make unlimited changes so you can get everything just how you want it.

From open plan family spaces to home-cooking havens, let us show you how we can transform your kitchen.

KITCHEN ZONING

Kitchens are the heart of a home, a space no longer just for cooking. With open plan living now more common, we take a considered approach to kitchen zoning so there’s harmony between the kitchen and any neighbouring dining or living areas.

Zoning is part of our kitchen design process and ensures that the layout makes the most of the available space and works effectively. Your current kitchen may not work for your lifestyle, or perhaps you’re planning on removing a wall or extending. Let us help you find the best solution for your new kitchen design. We’ll turn wish-list items like kitchen islands and pantries into plans and consider where appliances are placed, where food is prepared and served, as well as storage and utility space.

KITCHEN INSTALLATION AND RENOVATION

To bring your kitchen design to life, we can work with your own contractors or our team of in-house fitters and carefully selected tradespeople to ensure your design delivers on its plans and is installed to our exacting standards. Our sister company, Cooke & Charman, is well established in the Sussex and Surrey area, with many years of kitchen installation and renovation experience.

If you require kitchen installation as part of your project, we can provide you with a detailed quote for kitchen fitting, based on the design plans we create. 

If your kitchen installation is part of a larger renovation project, we can also specify and provide a quote for structural changes, windows and doors, lighting, electrics, plumbing and finishing, such as plastering, tiling and decorating - and anything else you need to turn your kitchen plans into a reality.

KITCHEN STORAGE

The backbone of any kitchen is storage and we understand that everyone’s storage needs are different.

We can give you a good idea of the amount of kitchen storage you might require and build this into your kitchen design, helping you to achieve the perfect balance of practicality and style.From walk-in pantries to hidden internal drawers, we offer a wide range of high quality storage solutions to make sure you find exactly what you need.
