Bespoke Kitchens London: Tips on how to deal with a designer

The benefits of getting Bespoke Kitchens London are significant, particularly if you take the trouble to do some research and work with the designer of your preference.

Steps to take before talking to a kitchen designer

First of all, make a "list" of all the things that you really must have in your kitchen. Try not to confuse "need" with "want". You could draw up a "wish list" too of items that you want to have at some stage but aren't really necessary.

You need to think about the size of the space you have or could have for your kitchen. A related consideration is what you will use your kitchen for. Will you only need a fridge and a microwave, are you going to cook in the kitchen? These decisions can have an affect on the kitchen space.

After that, you must set your budget and be sensible. There's no point in having an awesome kitchen that you cannot enjoy because it can put you in debt! It could be useful to set aside an additional amount you can use if you have to. For example, if you budget £10,000 for your kitchen, you could set aside an extra £1,500 you can use in case of unforeseen costs or issues. Once you have set limits, stick to them!

Lastly, visit kitchen galleries, look at interior décor magazines and small leaflets and get ideas for textures, layouts, colours, styles, materials, furniture, fixtures and so forth. Put together a few images to show a designer so that he or she gets a good sense of your preference.

Dealing with a kitchen designer

Now that you know what you need, how much you could afford and what you like, you are ready to meet with a designer to discuss your custom kitchen. The main reasons to involve a designer are twofold: they may come up with solutions and thoughts that may not occur to you and their experience means they know what should be done and in what order.

Remodelling a kitchen isn't an easy task, but with a designer that understands what you need, it will be entertaining. For this reason, it is vital to build a relationship with your designer. You have to be able to discuss things and work with her or him. They have to be accessible and open to ideas and questions. This collaborative working relationship is vital so you have to invest energy and time in it.

It's fun - and fundamental - to select the appliances and cabinetry you want. However, as with everything else it's wise to ask your designer for some ideas as there are many appliances available and ones that could be integrated into cabinets or work surfaces; these often save space and sometimes even money. Cabinets come in a range of materials, finishes, designs and colours, 

Your designer and you should also look at and choose materials for floors, cabinets, work surfaces and even splash-backs. Nowadays there is a great variety to select from based on the feel and look you need. Some surfaces like reflective ones could affect how large the kitchen space feels. Lastly, select the individual touches such as light fittings and blinds. To know more, be sure to click here.
