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 which is £600. This includes:
A 1.5-2 hour design meeting at our showroom to discuss the details of your kitchen project, covering layout, cabinetry style(s), cupboard internals, appliances, sinks, taps, worktops etc. Our design work will be informed by your brief, the architecture of your home and your budget.
The service includes development of an annotated floor plan and 3D rendered images to help you visualise your new kitchen. Please see examples below.
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.
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.
We specialise in designing bespoke kitchens. Once the 10% deposit is settled for your project, and following your feedback at Stage 2, a set of amendments to your design — including a revised floor plan and CAD renders — is included in your kitchen price. Please see the examples below of detailed elevation drawings and internal CAD renders.
As everything is custom made, if further design work is required, we can continue to develop the layout and finer details of your kitchen as your project progresses. We’ll always provide an estimate of any additional design time and cost before going ahead. This keeps everything clear and ensures you stay in control of your project.
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.
