*** Winner of best of Houzz award for Service 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.

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.

I first made contact with Karen in December 2019, we were renovating an old house and extending the kitchen. I’ve never had a brand new kitchen before, so I really wanted some help to ensure we did it all right from the start. Karen gave us several ideas, and we quickly got it down to our favourite design. The CAD drawings and images were amazing, and really gave us an idea of what it would look like - and here we are 10 months later and it looks identical! Karen helped me with all sorts of bits and pieces throughout the project. Karen is brilliant at what she does, I would highly recommend her to anyone planning a new kitchen, she saved us a huge amount of hassle, and I think it all worked out cheaper because we didn't make any mistakes. I love my new kitchen, it is absolutely perfect! thank you Karen. Penelope, Norfolk

Had a fantastic week working with Karen. She came up with so many brilliant ideas. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was tailored to our family (and the dogs!). We now have a shopping list and fabulous 3D images that mean that all of us (and our builder) know we are talking about the same thing. I can’t recommend Karen highly enough. The service is more affordable than you think and worth every penny (which I am sure I will easily get back anyway from shopping around using the list Karen created). If you are reading this review just get in touch with OnePlan and have a chat - Karen is so approachable and helpful and you will be glad you did. Thanks for everything Karen. I’m looking forward to showing you the finished project!

Our experience with Karen was wonderful and we would highly recommend OnePlan. Everything from our initial inquiry to work out what type of design help we needed; the questionnaire that made us think about what we liked and disliked; Karen's magic in taking our ramblings, pictures and conflicting colour thoughts and turning them into great design options which opened up our eyes to lots of possibilities; through to the great zoom call and then the exciting final design. The final design was much more than we could ever imagine and we will be forever grateful for Karen's patience and kindness, and that she pushed us to think outside of our comfort zone. Nothing was too much trouble for Karen, and we'll remember fondly the image of me being moved around the kitchen ideas to make sure I could reach into cupboards comfortably. Stylish and practical, couldn't wish for anything more. We can't wait for renovation to start (hopefully early next year) and keep looking at the plans to keep us going. If anyone doubts investing in professional design, I hope this review helps persuade them to go for it, and if they do that they reach out to OnePlan.

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.
