Veggie I’d love to see a photo of you unique kitchen unit. It sounds brilliant.
No Worries SC, you can avail yourself of my creative energy whenever you want.
You've probably got plans for your new build, so start a thread and we can get the rest here to critique the design too
Generally, the design isn't the deciding factor when it comes to price, it's the choice of door style, internal accessories, appliances and worktops.
As a profession generally, very few kitchen designers have any design qualification and even fewer are qualified architects, or interior designers!!, which is why when they plan it in front of you they ask you what you want where!! Lets be honest, if you wanted to design a house, you wouldn't go to a window salesman you'd go to an architect, so if you want the best kitchen design don't go to a builders merchant or a diy shed, cos you'll just get a load of boxes on a wall.
I recently employed a new designer in our store, and when interviewing I set them all a design challenge to find the design flaws in a plan. There were 5 absolute no-no's and 16 design flaws, I only got one person that could name more than 7, and a couple that couldn't find more than 2 errors. We didn't take on the most aware but, the most empathetic, and employed him as an apprentice that I could train. He'd been designing kitchens for 5 years, and classed himself as a design specialist in disability kitchens he'd previously worked for the likes of Wren, and Wickes. Just so you know to become a qualified Wren kitchen designer you have 2 days of training, not on design but, on the software package that creates kitchens, and 3 days on their pricing software. You are then a qualified kitchen designer with a certificate to prove it!!!! Don't get me started, I'll be on my soap box for some time.
A pocket knife is not a weapon in the right hands it’s an essential garden tool.
