Modern Kitchen Designers in London

“We have not long finished our kitchen refurbishment with Uncommon Projects and we could not be happier with the final result. It was a major project incorporating the full range of trades and we found the service, approach and expertise from everyone at Uncommon to be outstanding. From the beginning through the design stage with Kat, who was attentive and creative, to John whose knowledge and patience, as well as his ability to communicate with other parties, was essential in project management to Jamie, finally and his install team, who were flexible courteous and accurate. We don’t hesitate in recommending them.”

“I found Place Design on Instagram and I wasn't sure if it was 'too' high brow for me but I was frustrated with my designer at the time and thought I would speak with Place to see how they compared. By the time I found Place I had tried many kitchen routes from Ikea and Magnet through to local bespoke stores but each had fallen short. I didn't think I was being very demanding - I knew what I wanted but needed an expert to match my vision and see if it was applicable and practical. Plus I have a nagging self doubt about my choices - I am devoid of design skill! John Place was immediately warm and reassuring. I told him my situation and he was immediately able to see what I wanted. Our first consultation with him was remarkable. He came to the house, saw the space and listened to our needs. He then mapped it out on a 3D CAD program so that we could see our ideas come to life. I am always a bit sceptical that these program make things look better than they are in real life but honestly they are really realistic. I hope John shows pictures of the design and then the real thing so you can see how close it was. The main thing for me was that John really cared about what he produced. He helped us think of every detail and went above and beyond helping us specify a pantry area for our builder to make. The other thing I liked about John was that he made me a bit bolder and braver with colours and also he was willing to go on a learning journey with us - for example we found a brilliant stone supplier in Ongar and John helped liase wiith them to specify the work surfaces. John was a constant through thewhole process. He worked well with our builder (and had his own contacts as well) and was continuously checking in. The units he specified seemed costly at first but when you see tyhe quality and how they come ready and bespoke assembled it all makes perfect sense that they are a bit more expensive than the 'one size fits all' solutions you get from cheaper manufacturers. All in all John is not only a brilliant and experienced designer but a genuinely nice man who really is passionate about what he does. We were so blessed to find him after a long search! Now we have the kitchen of our dreams which is a pity because I enjoyed the process so much I'd love to do it all over again!”

“My bespoke room is a fantastic business and service! I am so lucky to have Liv as my designer - she is super talented and this is now project 8 that we are working on together. I have also recommended her to numerous friends and all have the same feedback. I wouldn’t hesitate to use my bespoke design and Liv if I need a room upgrade - I am so glad I chanced across such a great business.”
