I cannot recommend PlaceDesign enough. What I loved more than anything was that John talked to us about how we lived, what we liked doing, and how we'd actually use the space. This really helped us to make sure it wasn't just a beautiful kitchen but a practical, usable one. What we have is quite unique and definitely the thing people talk about the most when they visit. I love our semi-circle breakfast bar and the way he's pulled in the rest of the house by extending the breakfast bar into the main room further than we initially thought we would. The kitchen should be the heart of the home and thanks to John it is.
John was incredible in helping us design and project manage our kitchen build. We were initially unclear on the layout and he showed us a clear vision and way forward that made sense, looked good and was practical. I would strongly recommend John for his design skills, patience and flexibility. He gave us the time we needed to make choices and his recommendations were always well received and made sense.
John was first class. He gave us the confidence and support to deliver our kitchen project. He listened, took on board our ideas, helped plug the gaps, and gently redirected us when we were going too far off-piste. His build team, led by Matt, were easy to work with, generally pretty clean and tidy. I couldn’t fault the experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend John and his team, and I fully expect to use them again myself for future projects.
It was a pleasure to work with John on the kitchen at our house in Kent. It was not a straightforward brief. We wanted to create a modern kitchen space for cooking and socialising but this is a very old higgledy-piggledy Georgian house with limited space to play with. John listened carefully to our needs, and together, we came up with a design and look and feel which is modern yet complements the style of the house perfectly. It really has transformed our use of the kitchen and made spending time in the house more enjoyable. John obviously has a great eye for design and attention to detail, and he is (extremely) patient and pleasant to deal with.
From our first meeting with John, we felt confident that he understood what we hoped to achieve by replacing our kitchen with an awkward-shaped room. He produced two schemes for us to consider, and with just a couple of minor tweaks, we chose one of them. John recommended Matt and Kris from KK Maintenance and Refurbishment, who carried out not only the kitchen fitting but also other work for us to a very high standard. John continued to liaise with them throughout the work and made numerous site visits to check on progress. We are delighted with our kitchen, so we have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending John to you for your project.
We had our kitchen done in 2023 with a hard deadline due to being pregnant. John made it so easy and his team were excellent, especially Matt. John took on board our brief and optimised the space better than we could have ever done ourselves! He made it so easy for us, organising each delivery to ensure it all arrived at the right place on the right day. Highly recommended
