Best of Houzz Winner, Bespoke Work Kitchen Designers in Leicester, Leicestershire

“After speaking with several interior designers I contacted Katherine and knew from our first call that she totally understood what we were trying to achieve with the renovation of our very derelict Victorian farmhouse! This was not our first project so we had really strong ideas for the design and final finish, but taking on the huge task of project managing the build ourselves meant Katherine’s advise and guidance throughout was invaluable in helping finalise decisions on lighting, paint colours and the like when decision fatigue was at it worst! It has been an absolute delight working with Katherine, her flexible, intuitive approach was exactly what we needed. The house has surpassed our expectations and Katherine has very much been part of that realisation. If we ever take on another project (we won’t!) Katherine would be at the top of my contact list! Thank you so much for helping us create our beautiful forever home, your expert touch is certainly felt here :)”

“I can’t thank Luke enough for his work managing a full top-to-bottom renovation. He took measurements and produced a 3D model that became the foundation for iterating the design; we quickly reached agreement and work began soon after. The work covered the kitchen/annexe, lounge (including a media wall replacing an old fireplace), downstairs cloakroom, main bathroom, two bedrooms, and converting a bedroom into a study. The house was stripped back to bare walls, floors and ceilings. Luke either designed the spaces or improved designs from other trades—often spotting issues and proposing practical alternatives. His kitchen/annexe design matched my brief closely and included smart suggestions I hadn’t considered; the result is exactly what I wanted, only better. He updated the study design quickly as my ideas evolved (including cabinets and a bespoke oak desk), and the bedroom designs followed just as smoothly. The 3D visuals were invaluable, particularly as I lived far away and could only visit occasionally. Despite the distance, it felt like a genuine collaboration: Luke kept me updated, shared progress, and checked in for decisions at the right times. Luke coordinated the trades and oversaw critical stages of the work. His communication and attention to detail were excellent: I received clear updates and photos, and was consulted on all decisions with balanced advice on options. When a couple of issues arose (not of his making), he stepped in to help resolve them and made sure fixes were properly completed. It’s also worth stressing that when you hire Luke, you get Luke—not a rotating team. He was consistently contactable, happy to visit the property when needed, and professional throughout. He’s knowledgeable, hands-on, and took time to walk me through key choices, including visiting the local supplier showroom/factory. Even at the end of the project, Luke continued to check that final details were completed and everything was working as it should. Quite simply, I wouldn’t have taken on this renovation without him. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Luke and LUXE Kitchens—whether you’re renovating one room or an entire house.”
