Our client came to us with a clear goal: to bring order, storage, and enjoyment back into their kitchen. The existing layout felt cluttered and inefficient, with limited workspace and visible boiler pipework that disrupted the overall look of the room. More than anything, they wanted a kitchen that felt organised, calm, and inviting — a space they would genuinely enjoy spending time in, rather than simply passing through.

During the initial consultation, we focused on how the kitchen was used day to day. Food preparation felt cramped, storage was poorly laid out, and unloading the dishwasher was more of a chore than it needed to be. Improving flow and usability was just as important as improving the appearance of the space.

Our design solution centred around reordering the kitchen into a practical U-shape, making the most of the available footprint. By relocating the hob and oven to the left-hand wall, we created generous worktop space on either side, allowing for safer, more comfortable food preparation. This simple but effective change instantly improved the kitchen’s functionality and made cooking feel more intuitive.

Integrated appliances played a key role in achieving a clean, streamlined look. By incorporating built-in storage solutions, including dedicated units for crockery, cutlery, and waste, the kitchen feels calmer and far more organised. Each element was positioned with purpose, reducing unnecessary movement and making everyday tasks quicker and easier.

To deliver the project, we began by removing the existing kitchen and responsibly disposing of all units and fixtures. New plumbing was installed to suit the updated layout, followed by new electrical work to support the relocated oven and hob. Careful planning at this stage ensured everything functioned efficiently while remaining future-proof.

The new kitchen was installed in a soft dove grey finish, chosen for its timeless appeal and ability to keep the space feeling light and welcoming. Durable laminate worktops with matching upstands were fitted to provide a practical, easy-to-maintain surface that stands up well to daily use. Integrated appliances, including a fridge freezer, dishwasher, and bin pull-out system, were seamlessly built into the cabinetry for a cohesive, uncluttered appearance.

A key part of the brief was concealing the boiler and associated pipework. We achieved this by housing the boiler within a dedicated cupboard, with pipework carefully hidden while still allowing full access for servicing and maintenance. This instantly improved the visual flow of the kitchen and reinforced the clean, organised feel the client was looking for.

New flooring completed the transformation, tying the entire space together and enhancing durability underfoot. The result is a kitchen that feels purposeful, well-planned, and easy to live with.

Our client now enjoys cooking and trying new recipes in their organised kitchen. Everyday tasks such as unloading the dishwasher are simpler, with drawers and storage positioned exactly where they’re needed. It’s a practical transformation that proves thoughtful design can make a real difference to how a kitchen feels and functions.

If your kitchen feels cluttered or no longer works for how you live, we can help redesign it into a space that’s organised, efficient, and a pleasure to use every day.
