Kitchen Designers Ilkeston

Our kitchen design services in Ilkeston covers everything needed to create a space that works beautifully and practically for your home.

This includes:

 • Made-to-measure kitchen layout planning

 • Space, storage, and workflow optimisation

 • Material, finish, and colour specification

 • Appliance and lighting integration planning

 • Detailed design visuals and layout drawings

Every design is built around how you live, cook, and move through the space - not around pre-set templates or standard unit sizes.

We start by understanding you, not selling a style.

Your journey begins with a design consultation where we discuss your home, lifestyle, priorities, and any challenges with the existing space. From there, our designers develop layout concepts that balance flow, function, and visual impact. Once the direction feels right, we refine the design with materials, finishes, storage solutions, and technical details until everything is resolved into a clear, final design plan.

You’re involved at every stage, with guidance and clarity throughout - no rushed decisions, no guesswork.

Yes, and this is where bespoke design matters most.

Many of our kitchen designs are created for:

 • Existing homes with fixed layouts

 • Properties with structural limitations

 • Homes where walls, windows, or services can’t move

Rather than forcing a layout to fit a showroom plan, we design around your actual space, ensuring it feels intentional, balanced, and effortless to use.

Absolutely. Every kitchen we design is made-to-measure.

That means:

 • Layouts built specifically for your room dimensions

 • Storage designed around your habits and needs

 • Proportions adjusted to suit ceiling heights and walls

 • No reliance on off-the-shelf, fixed-size solutions

This approach allows the design to feel cohesive, refined, and properly thought through, not compromised by standard units.

Yes, visiting our showroom is a valuable part of the design process.

It allows you to experience:

 • Real kitchen displays and layouts

 • Material finishes, colours, and textures

 • Door styles, worktops, and detailing options

 • The difference between standard and bespoke design

Seeing and feeling materials in person often helps clarify decisions and gives confidence before finalising your kitchen design.

There isn’t a single fixed price for bespoke kitchen design, because no two homes, layouts, or requirements are the same.

Design cost depends on factors such as:

 • Size and complexity of the space

 • Level of customisation required

 • Materials, finishes, and detailing explored

 • Whether the design is part of a wider renovation

Rather than pushing generic pricing, we focus on designing something that delivers real value for your home and lifestyle — with full clarity before you commit to anything further.

Most kitchen designers start with units.

We start with behaviour.

How you move.

How you cook.

How you store.

How the space feels at different times of day.

Only once those decisions are resolved do materials, finishes, and visual style come into play. This design-first thinking is what separates bespoke kitchens from showroom-led solutions — and why our kitchens feel effortless rather than engineered.

Yes, and these are often where thoughtful design makes the biggest difference.

Awkward corners, limited width, low ceilings, chimney breasts, or unusual room shapes aren’t problems to work around — they’re design challenges we plan for. Through careful layout planning and made-to-measure solutions, we turn difficult spaces into kitchens that feel considered, usable, and surprisingly spacious.

You don’t need a perfect room to get a great kitchen.

That’s not a problem. It’s the starting point.

You don’t need a Pinterest board or a clear brief. Through conversation, examples, and layout exploration, clarity develops naturally. Our role is to filter options, explain trade-offs, and guide decisions — not ask you to commit before you understand them.

Most clients feel far more confident after the design process than before it begins.

Yes, with the right design approach.

Older homes often require:

 1. Flexible layout thinking

 2. Respect for original proportions

 3. Bespoke solutions where standard sizes fail

We design kitchens that respond to the building rather than fight it, ensuring the finished space feels appropriate, balanced, and timeless — not like a modern insert dropped into an older shell.
