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.

We have spent the last week working with Karen. (Well, she has done all the hard work) We are amazed how she came up with so many different layouts, that It was hard choosing just one. Im sure we will save money shopping around for our kitchen without the hard sell from retailers. The expert advice she gave was priceless. We cannot begin to start turning the design into reality. Thank you Karen. We feel you really understood our needs and taste. C&C Jones

Karen was amazing! We’d just bought a townhouse with an awkward sized kitchen-diner – it felt too big to be only a kitchen, but a bit too small to fit kitchen, storage, dining and entertaining in the room. We wanted to change the layout of the kitchen so that it was a better use of space. Initially we came up with so many layout ourselves, none of it felt right, so we decided to enlist some professional help and found Karen on Houzz! (We must confess, we did wonder how she could possibly come up with any new ideas when we thought we’d already tried and tested so many ideas of our own!) We were absolutely delighted when she came up with many different new options that we could explore. Karen worked extremely efficiently (we opted for Service A, which meant the planning started on Monday and all is done and dusted by Friday!), was very easy to talk to, very patient as we discussed changes here and there, and extremely helpful with our questions. All of this was done remotely from the comfort of our own home via Zoom. We’re so glad we went with her and know that we are going to love our new kitchen!

Many thanks to Karen for our kitchen and laundry design which completely ticks all the boxes! I didn't think everything on my wishlist could be included in my dream kitchen but Karen did this with ease! I now have full plans and visuals to take to any kitchen supplier to get like for like quotes and get the best price possible for my new kitchen. Can't wait until the kitchen is reality!

Karen was a joy to work with from the initial contact through to the delivery of our finished design. In addition to translating and refining our own ideas into a workable design, she came up with some ideas that we would never have dreamt of and the we described at the time as “pure genius”. To my mind, Karen is worth every penny and merits all the “Best of Houzz” awards that she’s won.

I'm a very keen cook and thought I knew exactly what I wanted when I had the chance to plan a new kitchen as part of our whole house renovation but it turned out having a free hand meant I was paralysed with indecision. Karen's insight was incredibly helpful and she had lots of great tips and suggestions to make the room work in harmony with how we live as a family. Her design was practical and considered, and the kitchen is my favourite space in our renovated home.

I can’t recommend One Plan, and Karen, enough! From the initial enquiry right through to the end result. Karen absorbed our requirements, as a family, ignored my preconceived ideas where they just wouldn’t work, and came up with the perfect layout to maximise the space. We live in an end of terrace Victorian cottage. I thought I needed an island in the kitchen. But Karen demonstrated that we really are too narrow for an effective one, and added bucket loads of storage elsewhere, by adding a pantry and utility. She thought of everything, and little tweaks here and there were no trouble at all. Karen also took on board our choice of kitchen company right from the start. For fixed fee space planning, and kitchen layouts, Karen must be your first point of call! Thank you again Karen! For a family of 5 the results are life changing!

Comment from OnePlan:

ahhh ! Fab photos Charlie ! Thank you so much for posting ! I couldn't safely get an island in for you - but the consolation prize of a walk-in pantry was worth it then!!
was great working with you all on this reno - glad you are finally in there enjoying it !

My wife and I wanted to fit a new kitchen but were struggling to find a suitable layout. So we engaged OnePlan after a friend's recommendation and were very pleased to have done so. It was incredibly useful to have some one with years of professional experience to come up with several ideas that would ultimately allow my wife and I uncover the things that were most important to us and which things on our wishlist we could live without. The process was very good and communication easy to do via phone and email. For us we really needed the 3D renders to get a better visualisation of how the floor-plan would look. We were then able to take the designs and ask kitchen companies to give us quotes. I would highly recommend OnePlan for anyone seeking inspiration for how their space could be best utilised.

We worked with Karen on a project for a kitchen in a tight space - her service was brilliant, offering a variety of options including the one we thought would work but as she rightly pointed out, did not work. A pleasure from start to finish - one finalised we went to the supplier and gave them the plans etc that Karen produced, which made the whole ordering process really easy. Will try and post photos when the kitchen is fitted.

Working with Karen was a real joy. She aided my wife and I collate thoughts, introduce new ideas and bring together amazing plans. Karen took the time to understand the problems and deliver superb ideas. Highly recommended.

I asked Karen to help me with the layout of my kitchen as I had no idea where to start. She was so helpful and had some great ideas that I never would have considered if she hadn't mentioned them. I am really pleased with the final layout and am looking forward seeing it when all finished. I would definitely use Karen again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

Karen was a total pleasure to work with. Prior to our call, I had spent hours on Pinterest and Houzz and thought I knew exactly what I wanted from our new kitchen, but Karen helped to bring it all together in a way that I could never do on my own. She understood what mattered most for me - storage space and symmetry - and created a beautiful, practical kitchen design. It was the most valuable 90 minutes in all of my kitchen planning, and I'll most certainly be recommending her to friends and family.

We spoke with Karen back in March as we couldn't agree on/ or envisage how to lay out our new kitchen once building work had finished and we didn't want to be pushed into expensive mistakes by kitchen suppliers. Karen chatted with us about our thoughts and went through the some ideas, designs and made it such a simple stress free process. Building work all finished and we are absolutely delighted with the result.
