All of our kitchens are completely bespoke, designed and made individually for you and your property. Any style, proportions, or mouldings - there are no restrictions on worktop materials, handles or paints for your kitchen. This opens a world of possibilities and choices which could seem overwhelming, but we will guide you through the process.
“We feel very lucky to have found Shere Kitchens. Their designs were excellent, the quality is superb, and nothing has been too much trouble the whole way through the process. From the very beginning they have listened to everything we wanted and have made great suggestions on how to achieve it.”
CH, Guildford, Surrey - The Dene Kitchen
The first stage of the design process is all about us understanding your vision for your kitchen renovation.
We invite you to talk to us at our kitchen showroom - it is an opportunity for us to understand your brief and to think together about your space, any challenging areas, storage needs, and colour palettes.
We will share our portfolio, and show you our cabinetry styles, internal cupboard options, worktop and handle samples.
Details we will need from you
If you have images to show us please bring them as it helps us to understand your style.
Once we understand your requirements we will develop a ball-park estimate with our initial thoughts, your options, timescales, and the estimated costs.
If you are happy with our estimate, we have a conceptual design service. We’ll sketch ideas in line with your brief, the architecture of your home and your budget.
The service includes a bespoke CAD plan and 3D renders to help you visualise your new kitchen.
We like to have time to mull over options to make the design special for you so this usually takes around two to three weeks.
And now the exciting part - we invite you to meet with us so that we can present our ideas and talk through the key features of your design and options for your kitchen. Following the presentation and included in the design fee is one further amendment to the design plan.
This initial design service is £600.
We hope that this gives you the chance to get to know us and see if we are a good fit for your project in terms of design and budget.
Our design service is very popular and requires a significant time commitment from us. In order to proceed with detailed design stage we therefore require a 10% deposit.
When you commission us, the exciting and meticulous planning really begins. We discuss the initial design with you - exploring the features you love and tweaks you would like to incorporate in your detailed design.
We always highlight where a design amendment would result in a change to the original estimate to help you decide whether you want to include it.
As everything is custom made, we can continue to develop the layout and finer details of your kitchen as your project progresses.
The best place to start is with ‘What’s important to you?’ We work with our clients to carefully think about how they live and develop their kitchen design to make the most of their space and time.
