*** Winner of best of Houzz award for Service 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015 and 2014! *** Designing professionally since 1985, we offer a ‘specific to you’ concept design service that’s more technical than an interior designer mood board, but not as technical as an Architect’s set of drawings. We don't sell product - so are completely unbiased, We are freelance concept planners - designing kitchens, bedrooms or even whole homes with you, allowing you to then shop around and compare like for like and negotiate the best prices. Our office is open Monday to Friday 09:00 to 17:00 (UK time zone) The 'Out of office' email may bounce to Houzz, rather than you, if you hit the 'contact me' button out of office hours ! But we will contact you when the office opens next ! Please be aware that if your plans involve construction works, they may be covered by regulations relating to health and safety known as the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015. These apply to all construction work in Great Britain, including domestic projects such as replacing a kitchen or reconfiguring your space. As a commissioning client, you have duties under these regulations to make suitable arrangements for managing your project, including allocating time and resources, in order to ensure that your works can be carried out without risks to health and safety and that they will be safe once they are completed. We will be a designer under the regulations, and will prepare our design so that it eliminates foreseeable health and safety risks to you, your family and visitors and your contractor(s), but we cannot take on your overall duties under the regulations, nor can we act as principal designer. It may be that your contractor (if you are appointing only a single builder) will take on both of these roles on for you, and we recommend that you check the position with them and make sure that they are aware of the regulations and everyone’s duties under them.

Working with Karen on our kitchen / utility was inspiring and I thoroughly recommend OnePlan to anyone who is looking to turn space from functional into fantastic. The process was very efficient and we even got great advice on other rooms that we will be working on. Brilliant!

From the very first email communication with Karen, the service provided was excellent! We have never undergone a project like this before and wanted to get the layout of our new kitchen and orangery just right from the outset. Karen was on hand to give invaluable advice and throw in ideas and concepts that we hadn't thought of. Karen provided initial sketch ideas through to the full CAD meeting, where our new space came alive! We can't thank you enough for your patience, ideas and wealth of knowledge! The final design you have sent us has the wow factor we were looking for and can't wait to see the finished build! We would highly recommend to you to everyone..... ! Thank you so much Karen

Finally got around to the review (Apologies Karen!) - Just wanted to highlight what a pleasure it was to work through our kitchen design plans with Karen. Karen was great in understanding our needs and provided a wealth of different options which really did cover everything we wanted. This allowed us to home in on what was really important for us and we arrived at what we think is the best solution for us. Karen has no hidden agendas to try to push you towards any particular solution she just presents solutions and ideas that fit with your needs (no pushy sales agenda that you get with so many of the high street brand 'free designers'). Her suggestions were always helpful and really made us think about all aspects of the design many of which we'd never have considered. Karen was a delight to work and I can't recommend her highly enough. Lockdown has meant our project won't be done till the summer so will post pictures then. Thanks Karen!

Karen was a LIFE-SAVER. Took all the stress out, really speedy with responses, loads of great ideas and best of all - not pushy as she's not trying to sell you anything, just give you great advice. She's obviously a cook herself so is always thinking about how the space will actually be used, rather than just how it looks. Cannot recommend her highly enough.

Little did we know the breakfast cabinets Karen designed would house all the homeschool paraphernalia during lockdown! Karen managed to squeeze quite a lot into our little kitchen-diner. Every inch of wallspace is functional. We’ve got under seat storage, a tall larder, understair pantry and a square peninsula for food prep and dishing up. All thanks to Karen’s excellent design service. Lockdown has proved it works as a kitchen/ school/ home office/ ‘Covid cafe’ where snacks are always available (if you’ve had children at home during 2020 you’ll know what I’m talking about!). I shudder to think how awful lockdown would have been in our old kitchen. The best design idea was placing a crockery/ cutlery drawer next to the dishwasher. I don’t even move my feet to empty it. Genius! Thank you Karen, it’s a truly life enhancing design for our young family.

Comment from OnePlan:

Oh Wow !!!!! It looks amazeballs !!! Thank you for posting pictures and a review! I'm so glad its been functional for you all, especially in these crazy covid days ! I remember the artwork niche requirement - and there it is ! Fab ! you've made my day!

We were delighted with the one-day kitchen design service and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend One Plan. It was so helpful having an independent expert in Karen (- who is not tied to any one particular supplier) to advise us on configuring the space, what would and would not work, and where we could be flexible. We received a clear, detailed pdf document that made it really easy to get clear pricing from kitchen suppliers, and to help us fully visualise the result. This approach has saved us so much time and hassle and we can’t thank Karen enough.

Thanks for the Review ! Designer days are such fun to do ! As it really is team work between you ( the clients ) and me !! So glad you are happily shopping around with the finished PDF ! :-)

Karen is amazing - I would highly recommend her. She’s so patient and accommodating. In just one day she’d designed our master suite with his and hers dressing rooms, something we’d struggled with for almost 7 years! I wish I’d met her years ago.

Highly recommend Karen's services. She came up with some really innovative and practical ideas that I doubt anyone else would have thought of that really made the most of the space.

Would highly recommend Karen's services. We worked with her to design our open plan kitchen, dining and living space which was a really awkward space. We had explored some conventional design options at IKEA and Wren but they weren't able to really help us think about the space as a whole and what would work overall. Karen came up with some options for us, all which worked and then we were able to refine and hone the design over the week. I had been slightly worried about measuring up and drawing up a plan but Karen gave excellent advice and we Zoomed to confirm some of the final measurements. We had a brilliant planning meeting with Karen to make tweaks and alterations and now have a final design that we can use to get quotes from different suppliers.

Based on online reviews, many of them here on Houzz, we chose Karen at OnePlan to help us design our new kitchen / living / dining extension and adjacent utility room and snug. She was brilliant to work with, thought of everything and provided us with really useful plans which we will now use to get supplier quotes. I'm confident the cost of OnePlan's service will be more than paid back in terms of the value we will get from the design plus all the mistakes we avoided through Karen's very sound and knowledgeable advice. Her process works really well too with having a fixed timeline to work to - it really helped us to focus on decisions in a timely way! I would highly recommend using Karen and OnePlan.

An absolute dream to work with and I genuinely am giddy with excitement (It's a good job I'm sitting down). I honestly can't recommend highly enough. I have just had the best design day experience ever. Far exceeded my expectations. In spite of the fact that I had a very busy day of work, she showed great patience and responsiveness, adapted to my pace and vision immediately. I also valued being able to get an expert opinion on things like size and scope of integrated appliances. She educated me on equipment in a way that I have found invaluable and has made my small space look and feel so much bigger in a way that won't cost the earth! The renders I received were top quality and my architect messaged me back immediately to say "Wow!" - and that is the impact her design is going to have on anyone who sees my new house.

Ah ! That's such a lovely review - thank you! The 'Designer Day' was a success ! We will be launching this new service officially in January 2021. (and for the eagle-eyed ones looking at the picture - the drawers are on the island out of view !!) Thanks again 5x5Consultancy - you were great fun to work with! Best wishes with the house refurb !
