A designer kitchen,
wherever you buy your cabinetry
Independent kitchen design is for homeowners who want a beautifully designed kitchen, no matter where they buy their cabinets from.
Perfect if you're considering:
IKEA
DIY Kitchens
Howdens
Wren / Magnet / similar
A local joinery company
Why work with
an independent
kitchen designer?
A kitchen supplier sells you cabinets.
That does not always mean you are getting the best design for you and your home.
I help you plan the kitchen properly first, so you can:
Be confident the layout and flow are right for you
Save money by only buying cabinetry than you need
Create a more thoughtful personalised kitchen
Because I am independent, the advice is based on what works best for you — not on selling you a particular kitchen.
A designer kitchen is not just about expensive cabinetry.
It is shaped by:
Layout
Circulation
Storage planning
Appliance placement
Material selection
Great lighting
Small thoughtful details
So even if you buy from a more affordable supplier, the outcome can still feel far more elevated.
Choose the support you need
I just need help getting the layout right
Kitchen Layout
For homeowners who want clarity on:
Best layout for their kitchen
Where appliances should go
If an island or peninsula can work
How much storage is actually needed
Flow, clearances and day-to-day function
Includes:
A layout / zoning drawing
Appliance and cabinetry placement
Design notes explaining the thinking
Kitchen Details
For homeowners who want more direction to create a more designed, personal and characterful kitchen.
Suggestions for:
Cabinetry style (shaker, slab, handleless)
Worktop material
Handles and hardware
Taps and sinks
Lighting
Colours
Bespoke or repurposed elements
Details that make the kitchen feel less showroom-like and more like it was designed for you
This is for you if you want…
A great kitchen layout
Expert kitchen design input
A kitchen that feels bespoke
Confidence before investing in a new kitchen
My approach
I design kitchens around your lifestyle and your budget.
That means thinking carefully about:
How the kitchen is used
What needs to be close at hand
How much storage you actually need
How the kitchen connects to the rest of the home
How to make the result feel calm, practical and personal
Where helpful, I may suggest mixing fitted cabinetry with more individual elements, rather than buying everything from one supplier.
