Interior design-led kitchens considered as complete rooms, from cabinetry and lighting to flooring, colour and finishes. Through independent sourcing and trusted local suppliers, we help more of your budget go towards quality, craftsmanship and the details that truly matter.
Better design. Smarter spending.
My philosophy
A kitchen renovation should feel exciting, not overwhelming. Yet so often, homeowners are left navigating showroom markups, commission-led sales, endless decisions, supplier quotes, trades, timelines and the fear of getting something wrong.
My approach is different. I design kitchens as complete rooms, not just a set of units, considering how you live, how the space should feel and how every detail works together.
Working independently means I can help you explore trusted local suppliers, compare options and focus more of your budget on quality products, skilled craftsmanship and the details that truly matter.
From pulling your ideas together and creating moodboards to sourcing quotes, sample boards, supplier options and project support where needed, my role is to make the process feel calmer, clearer and far more considered.
-
Every kitchen I create begins with the space itself, not a sales target or a standard product range. I approach each project from an interior design perspective, carefully considering layout, flow, lighting, materials, texture, and how the room will feel to live in every day. The result is a kitchen that feels naturally connected to your home, rather than something simply fitted into it
-
I believe great design shouldn’t come with inflated showroom markups or hidden commissions. Because I work independently and source directly from trusted suppliers, we’re often able to secure significantly better pricing than many traditional kitchen retailers.
In many large showrooms, products pass through multiple layers of markup before reaching the client. By researching and working directly with specialist suppliers and manufacturers, we can often achieve the same or superior quality, for far better value. In one recent project, a quartz worktop quoted at over £5,000 through a major retailer was sourced directly from an independent supplier for closer to £2,800.
Our pricing is always transparent and upfront, giving you complete clarity on where your budget is being spent with no hidden fees, unnecessary middlemen, or sales-driven upselling.
-
Kitchen renovations involve hundreds of decisions, from layouts and finishes to suppliers, deliveries and trades. I help pull your ideas together, do the research, organise the details, and keep the process feeling clearer, calmer and more manageable.
-
No two homes or clients are the same, and your kitchen should reflect that. Unlike traditional retailers limited to fixed collections and standard sizing, I have the freedom to create something entirely tailored to your space and lifestyle. From materials and finishes to layout and detailing, every element is selected to create a kitchen that feels personal, distinctive, and uniquely yours.
-
I work closely with a trusted network of independent, bespoke kitchen makers and specialist suppliers, many of them small-scale craftsmen based in the Cotswolds and surrounding areas. Rather than being tied to a single showroom brand, I’m able to source from multiple suppliers to find the right balance of quality, craftsmanship, style, and budget for each individual project.
Because I can obtain quotations from a range of carefully selected makers, our clients benefit from greater transparency and confidence that they’re receiving genuine value, without inflated retail markups or unnecessary middlemen. This independent approach allows me to create kitchens that feel far more personal, considered, and unique to your home.

How I work
-
This is an opportunity for us to discuss your project, ideas, lifestyle, budget, and goals for the space, while allowing you to gain a better understanding of how I work and whether we’d work together well.
There’s absolutely no pressure — just a relaxed conversation and honest guidance.
-
Once we decide to move forward together, we’ll arrange a site visit to fully understand your space.
During this stage I will:
Measure the room
Discuss ideas and inspiration
Explore how you use the space
Review functionality and storage requirements
Begin considering materials, finishes, and overall direction
This stage helps me build a clear understanding of both the practical requirements and the overall feeling you want your kitchen to have.
-
Following the consultation, I’ll draw up the space and create an initial design direction alongside a carefully curated moodboard for approval.
This stage begins shaping the visual identity of the kitchen through:
Layout planning
Colour palettes
Materials and finishes
Hardware and lighting inspiration
Overall aesthetic direction
Once approved, I’ll begin developing the kitchen design in greater detail.
-
Working closely with trusted local makers and suppliers, I’ll begin refining the kitchen design and presenting initial concepts for review.
Alongside the first layouts and elevations, I’ll also create tactile sample boards allowing you to experience the materials, textures, and finishes in person.
This is often the longest stage of the process, as I carefully refine every detail together to ensure the final design feels completely right for your home. It’s a highly collaborative process with thoughtful revisions and ongoing conversations throughout.
-
Once the final design has been signed off, I’ll confirm supplier orders, lead times, and delivery schedules in preparation for installation.
At this stage, all key details are finalised to ensure the project is ready to move smoothly into the next phase.
-
For clients selecting our Project Support service, I remain involved throughout the renovation process to help everything come together seamlessly.
This may include:
Liaising with trades and suppliers
Producing a project schedule for installations and trades
Assisting with timelines and coordination
Site visits
Designing bespoke elements
Ongoing design guidance during installation
Styling assistance once the kitchen is complete
My goal is to make the renovation process feel calmer, more organised, and far less overwhelming- ensuring the final space feels every bit as considered as the original design vision.
