To Arrange A FREE Consultation

Get your dream kitchen without the hassle. Our friendly team offers design help that makes sense, saves you money, and creates a kitchen you'll love using every day.

When you're redoing your kitchen, getting the design right can save you loads of headaches down the road. Our kitchen design meetings help you avoid expensive mistakes and create a space that works for how you really live.

As a local Nottingham family business, we know the homes around here - from Victorian terraces in The Park to modern flats near the city centre. We've done more than 800 kitchen projects in Nottingham and the nearby towns, so we've probably worked on a kitchen just like yours!

And the best bit? Our design chats are free and no-pressure. Just honest advice from people who know kitchens inside out.

Meet Our Kitchen Design Team

Michael and Emma are Nottingham's kitchen design experts with over 15 years of experience. They've designed kitchens for everything from tiny Lace Market flats to sprawling country homes in Ruddington.

"We treat every kitchen like it's going in our own home," says Michael. "I like finding clever ways to make spaces work better - like the pull-out corner storage we put in a really awkward West Bridgford kitchen that the owners thought was a lost cause."

Emma specialises in making kitchens both beautiful and practical. "I always ask how people actually use their kitchen. Do you bake a lot? Do you need space for kids to do homework? These questions help me design a kitchen that looks gorgeous but also works for real life."

Both Michael and Emma know Nottingham homes really well. They understand the quirks of local properties - like the unusual layouts in the older houses in Arnold or the specific challenges in Beeston's 1930s semis.

What Happens During a Kitchen Design Consultation?

Our kitchen design process is simple and straightforward:

We chat about what you want from your new kitchen
We look at your space (either measurements you bring or we can do a home visit)
We talk about your style - what colours and looks you like
We discuss your must-haves and wish list items
We talk about budget and timelines
We create some initial ideas

For Nottingham homes, we typically create a design plan within a week of our meeting. We use fancy computer software to show you exactly what your kitchen could look like - not just flat drawings but proper 3D pictures you can really understand.

Diane from Mansfield told us: "I couldn't visualise what Michael was describing until he showed me the 3D design. Then it all made sense and I knew exactly what I wanted!"

Your Kitchen Design Meeting

You don't need to bring anything to your first meeting, but these things can help:

Rough measurements of your kitchen if you have them
Pictures of kitchens you like (saved on your phone is fine!)
Photos of your current kitchen
Your wish list - what you really want in your new space
Any major problems with your current kitchen

Got a Pinterest board of kitchen ideas? Bring it along! We love seeing what inspires you.

Don't worry if you're not sure about measurements. We can always arrange a home visit to measure up properly. This is especially helpful for tricky Nottingham properties like the narrow kitchens common in Lace Market terraces or the unusual room shapes in older properties near Nottingham Castle.

"Going to the showroom made all the difference," says James from West Bridgford. "We thought we wanted white gloss but after seeing the options in person, we fell in love with the sage green units instead."

Before you visit, have a think about:

What overall style you like (modern, traditional, etc.)
What colours you're drawn to
What kind of worktops appeal to you

But don't worry if you've no clue what you want - that's what we're here for!

Home Visit Appointment

We offer both home visits and showroom appointments - each has its good points:

Home Visits:

We see your actual space and can spot opportunities you might miss
We can take accurate measurements
We can check technical things like where pipes and electrics are
Great for seeing how light falls in your kitchen at different times
Perfect if you're too busy to come to the showroom
We cover all Nottingham postcodes and surrounding towns like Beeston, Arnold, Carlton and West Bridgford

Our home measuring service is free and covers all of Nottinghamshire. We'll come to your home, take precise measurements, check for any potential issues, and discuss your ideas in the actual space.

"Having Michael come to my house made all the difference," says Jenny from Arnold. "He spotted that we could remove a non-supporting wall to create a much bigger space - something I would never have thought of!"

Kitchen Design Technology - See Your New Kitchen Before It's Built

We use clever technology to bring your new kitchen to life before a single cabinet is ordered.

Our CAD (Computer Aided Design) software creates detailed 3D models of your kitchen. You'll see exactly how your new space will look - right down to the cabinet handles and splashback colour.

For Nottingham homes with unusual features - like the sloped ceilings common in The Park or the bay windows typical in West Bridgford - this technology is brilliant. It shows how to make the most of these quirky spaces.

"The 3D design helped me see how the light would work in my kitchen," says David from Mapperley. "I was worried the dark cabinets would make the room feel small, but the design showed it would actually look great."

We can even do virtual kitchen designs if you prefer not to have a home visit yet. Just send us your measurements and some photos, and we can create initial designs to discuss over the phone or by video call.

Case Study: Solving a Tricky West Bridgford Kitchen

The Thompsons in West Bridgford had a real kitchen headache. Their Victorian house had a narrow, awkward kitchen with a chimney breast taking up valuable space.

"We'd had three other kitchen companies look at it, and they all wanted to just put standard units around the edges, which wouldn't have made good use of the space," says Mrs Thompson.

During our design consultation, Michael noticed that by removing the old pantry cupboard and repositioning the fridge, we could create space for a small island - something the Thompsons didn't think was possible.

"Micheal really listened to what we needed," Mrs Thompson continued. "With three kids, I wanted plenty of storage and a space where they could sit while I cooked. The design he came up with gave us all that in a space we thought was too small for anything but basic units."

The final kitchen included:

A compact island with seating
Tall cabinets to maximise storage in the high-ceilinged room
Custom units fitted around the chimney breast
A clever corner storage solution

"We would never have come up with this design ourselves," says Mr Thompson. "It was worth every penny of the renovation to get a kitchen that works so well for our family."

Book Your Kitchen Design Consultation

Getting started is easy. Our kitchen design consultations are completely free, with no obligation to buy anything.

We're available for appointments:

Monday to Friday: 9am - 7pm
Saturdays: 9am - 5pm
Sundays: By special arrangement

Evening appointments are available for busy Nottingham commuters who can't make it during the day.

We'll typically spend about an hour talking through your ideas and needs. If you decide to go ahead with a home measure, that takes about 30-45 minutes depending on your kitchen size and layout.

After our meeting, we'll create a design and quote within 7 days - quicker than most other Nottingham kitchen companies who often take 2-3 weeks.

Common Questions About Kitchen Design Consultations

What happens in a kitchen design consultation?

We chat about what you want from your kitchen, look at your ideas, discuss options and talk about budget. For home visits, we'll measure your space and check technical details like your plumbing and electrics. It's informal and friendly - not a high-pressure sales pitch.

How much does a kitchen design consultation cost in Nottingham?

Our design consultations are completely free. We don't charge for the initial meeting, home measuring service, or creating a design and quote. You only pay if you decide to go ahead with your new kitchen.

How long does a kitchen design consultation take?

The initial chat usually takes about an hour. Home measuring appointments take 30-45 minutes more. We don't rush - we take the time to understand exactly what you need.

What should I prepare before a kitchen design consultation?

It helps to think about what you like and don't like about your current kitchen, collect some inspiration (magazines, Pinterest, etc.), and have a rough budget in mind. But don't worry if you haven't got all this - we can help you figure it out.

Do I need house measurements for a kitchen design consultation?

Not for the initial chat. If you have rough measurements, great, but we can always arrange to come and measure your kitchen properly later on. Our home measuring service is free and covers all Nottingham postcodes.

Will a kitchen designer visit my home?

Yes, we offer free home visits throughout Nottingham and surrounding areas including West Bridgford, Beeston, Arnold, Carlton, Ruddington and further afield. Home visits are great for getting accurate measurements and seeing the space we're working with.

Is there a deposit required for a kitchen design consultation?

No deposit is needed for the design consultation. It's completely free. If you later decide to go ahead with your kitchen, we ask for a deposit to secure your order.

How long after consultation until I receive my design?

You'll get your kitchen design and quote within 7 days of our consultation. If you need it more quickly - perhaps for a building project that's already underway - just let us know and we'll prioritise it.
