Independent kitchen designers cannot compete on price with big brands like B&Q or Ikea.
If you really think about it, the difference between the two types of service is huge.
B&Q sell mass-produced kitchens. Independent designers sell bespoke kitchens.
B&Q staff will design your new kitchen on a computer in store using your own measurements. Independent designers come to your house and measure the kitchen, assessing the space and light of the room before producing a design.
Just as a made-to-measure suit would cost more than one straight off-the-shelf, a bespoke kitchen will almost always cost more than a kitchen that is mass-produced.
There is nothing wrong with a mass-produced kitchen. The difference between big brands and independent designers is the type of service they offer! Independent designers:
-
Offer flexibility when it comes to altering unit and door sizes.
-
Allow you to be involved in the design process, making as many changes as your require until you are completely happy.
-
Can supply doors, worktops and accessories from a wealth of suppliers around the world.
-
Are able to provide completely bespoke items such as dresser units, shelving, unusually shaped worktops etc.
-
Usually have first-hand experience fitting kitchens themselves and can deal with any issues quickly and efficiently.
-
Will usually oversee the whole process of your dream kitchen, from inspiration to installation.
-
Often sell at very competitive prices (just not as cheap as those selling mass-produced kitchens).
-
Usually provide higher quality products.
-
Can offer you personal discounts.
- Visit your house to measure up accurately and provide advice about plumbing and electricals.
