The importance of professional kitchen design
There’s a reason we offer a free, no obligation kitchen design service; we think it’s crucial to have a professional kitchen designer involved when considering a new kitchen, and we don’t want our customers to be put off by costs for seeking advice.
A new kitchen is exciting, but the bottom line is there are multiple components to consider and an oversight could leave you with some costly and time consuming mistakes to fix.
Below, we’ve put together some of the reasons why we think seeking advice from a professional kitchen designer is so important.
Seeing your kitchen for the first time
A kitchen designer is a fresh pair of eyes; we will see your kitchen for the first time and ask you what’s working and what’s not.
Those that use their kitchens every day may struggle to see beyond what they’ve gotten so used to, and even if you do have a good idea of what could be improved, a professional kitchen designer will be able to take this and see what’s actually achievable.
You may not know where to start, or you may actually be clued up on your new kitchen, but either way with our free design and quotation service you may as well get a second opinion.
Seeing the bigger picture
Where are the water and gas mains? Where’s the drain for water? Are you sure you’ve got accurate measurements? Are the electrical sockets optimal? How much surface space do you need?
There are a lot of questions that need answering before you consider getting a new kitchen. It’s these multiple components that can lead to costly mistakes in a new kitchen, if dealt with incorrectly.
A professional kitchen designer will know to cover off all of this. It saves you any guess work and gives you peace of mind knowing that every single element is being taken into consideration to ensure a smooth running installation.
Guiding style choices
We know what’s popular because we see it every single day. This includes what’s popular in each design category; shaker kitchens, in-frame kitchens and endless modern design possibilities – we really do work with it all, day in and day out.
Having said that, you may have a set idea in your head of what you want your new kitchen to look like, and just because it’s popular, it doesn’t mean it’s for you.
A professional kitchen designer will guide you on style choices that suit your décor throughout the house; it’s why we always prefer to design your kitchen with you in your home.
If your new kitchen is designed properly, it will complement your home and add harmony to your entire space. A professional kitchen designer will always see the bigger picture, and guide you in your style choices.
Sourcing the right product for you
There is
a lot of choice out there. And often times there is more choice than people initially realise.
Take for example a shaker kitchen - are you after vinyl wrapped, MDF or solid timber doors? Or are you after something more modern? Beyond the popular gloss you could also consider matte, wood grain and event metallic effects in your new kitchen.
The point is, if you tell a professional kitchen designer exactly what you want from your kitchen, they’ll be able to make recommendations based on a wealth of product knowledge, and that’s the importance of professional kitchen design.
