Kitchen Design in Boxmoor, Hemel Hempstead

Boxmoor has a lot of period and character houses, and their kitchens rarely come in neat rectangles. Chimney breasts, old doorways, sloping ceilings and windows in awkward places all shape what will fit - and a design drawn without a proper survey is how people end up with a unit that will not open past a radiator.

A good Boxmoor kitchen design starts with how the room is used. Who cooks, how often, whether the kitchen is also where the family eats and the children do homework - those decide the layout far more than the colour of the doors.

The working triangle between sink, hob and fridge still matters, along with enough worktop either side of the hob and enough clear space to open the dishwasher and oven at the same time. Storage is planned for what you actually own, not a generic set of cupboards.

Older Boxmoor houses often need the design to work with, rather than against, the character of the room: a range cooker in the chimney breast, a larder unit in an alcove, or shaker doors that suit the house.

The room is measured accurately, including where every pipe, socket and window sits, so the design can be ordered with confidence from whichever supplier you choose.

Designs can go to any supplier, and we fit what we design, so nothing gets lost between the plan and the finished kitchen. Doors that no longer close square, a worktop lifting at a joint, or water marks under the sink are worth looking at before a new kitchen goes in.
