We had the pleasure of meeting a new client earlier this year and were invited to her newly acquired home in Shropshire to discuss the Kitchen requirements.  Our Client has a vast and understated experience in Home Refurbishment.

​ Your Design Considerations
​Think how your present Kitchen space is used. Is it efficient?
Sort through the contents of your Kitchen cupboards and decide if all the items
will be given a home in your new Kitchen.
Great Grandma's butterscotch tray may be due a happy retirement.
What works currently, what needs addressing and what could be improved?
Avoid wasted steps - Your feet will be thankful of this consideration.
Determine the heights of worktop and microwaves.
Consider drawers, larder pullouts & corner pull outs for easy access. 
Determine the use of the Island.
(Socialising, Family Eating, Preparation, Cooking)
Future changes to the home dynamic.
(Children, Grand Children, less mobile Family Members, Furry friends)
