Contemporary Kitchen Renovation
September 2021 - Brighton, East Sussex
Our client tells us: “I cannot recommend Design Interiors enough. Tim has an exceptional eye for design, instinctively knowing what works & striking the perfect balance between incorporating our design pre-requisites & ideas & making his own suggestions. Every design detail has been spot on. His plan was creative, making the best use of space practical - & the finished result has more than lived up to expectations. The leicht product is excellent – classic German quality & although a little more expensive than some other kitchens , the difference is streets ahead – and pound for pound exceptional value. But its not just design. We were lucky enough to work with the in-house project manager, Stuart, who led our build & trades for our whole project & was absolutely fantastic. Ditto the in-house fitters, whose attention to detail & perfectionism was impressive. With fantastic communication, reliability & downright lovely to work with – we are SO pleased we went to Design Interiors. If you’re looking for great service, high end design & quality product from a company big enough to be super professional but small enough to care – look no further! “
Our clients had previously carried out a lot of work on their old warehouse building to create an industrial feel.
They always disliked having the kitchen & living room as separate rooms so wanted to open up the space. It was important to them to have one company that could carry out all of the required work. Design Interiors own team removed the separating wall & flooring, along with extending the entrance to the kitchen & under-stair cupboards, for extra storage. All plumbing & electrical works, along with plastering & decorating were carried out by Design Interiors together with the supply & installation of the polished concrete floor & works to the existing windows, to achieve a floor to ceiling aesthetic.
Tim designed the kitchen in a bespoke texture lacquer door, to match the ironmongery throughout the building. Our clients, who are keen cooks, wanted to have a good surface space to prep, whilst keeping the industrial look but it was a priority for the work surface to be hardwearing.
Tim incorporated Dekton worktops to meet this brief & to enhance the industrial look, carried the worktop up the wall, to provide the splashback. The contemporary design, without being a handless look, enhances the clients’ own appliances ,with stainless steel handles to match. The open plan space has a social breakfast bar area, which also incorporates a clever bifold unit to house the boiler system, which was unable to be moved.
