Affordable Modern Kitchen Designers

“Claudia was a fantastic designer - she totally understood our brief and vision. She brought such energy and enthusiasm, it really made the whole process a pleasure - and felt really personal. We hadn't used a designer service before, thinking it a bit of a luxury, but we liked the pricing structure that let us pay per hour and the discount available on the paint. James was helpful in explaining the process and costs, and in matching us with the right designer for us. Claudia helped us choose our paint scheme and flooring, as well as giving us layout options for kitchen and bedroom where space was right. She was the right side of opinionated, giving us needed direction without overbearing. Most of all she really listened to our needs, did it all in a short space of time, and delivered a great mood board and ideas. Only feedback is I think an optional initial home visit / in-person meet should be included as standard (it was when we got other quotes elsewhere). Whilst some may prefer all virtual, for us having the designer see the space and meet us to get to know us was critical. The cost of getting a designer isn't something to do lightly but it helped us as we are time poor and indecisive! Thanks Claudia and team!”

“Pencil and Brick were a pleasure to work with. They were clear and quick in communications. They helped us prioritise when compromise was required, and are honest and direct. We engaged them as architects, project managers, and builders to renovate our Victorian home. The complete service made a stressful process as painless as possible and meant the project was finished within expected budget and on time. They collaborated with us, listened to our requirements and tailored their approach to our needs, offering clever solutions to tricky areas. The house originally did not have a central heating system, insulation, or a kitchen. It needed remedial works including rebuilding poor quality extensions and gutters. While these works might be less glamourous in photos, they worked with us to produce something that is comfortable and beautiful to live in, while remaining functional to our lifestyle. They took our input on our preferences into their designs and solved various issues at all stages (from clever layouts at the design stage, to finding natural solutions to complicated split-level problems, to practical building solutions by the builders). The builders took real care over quality while finding practical solutions to structural repairs and layout difficulties. They designed and installed an ASHP system with underfloor heating, and that has been a pleasure this winter. As part of this they arranged the grant and complex administration around these areas. They have transformed an uncomfortable house into a home we look forward to returning to and waking up to.”

“We recently had the pleasure of working with BathroomsbyDesign for the renovation of our main bathroom in our Victorian Terrace home in Barnes, London. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional, and we are absolutely thrilled with the results. Design Quality * Detailed Layouts: The design document provided comprehensive layouts from multiple angles (top, front, back, left, right), ensuring a clear understanding of the space and design. * Product Specifications: Each element, such as the mirror, WC, basin, shower, bath, and towel rails, was clearly labeled with dimensions, helping us visualise the final setup. Professionalism and Communication * Senior Designer Expertise: We worked closely with Chris Argles, the Senior Designer, whose expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout the project. * Clear Documentation: The design was well-documented with important notes that allowed the installer to understand the vision and technical specifications, which were executed brilliantly. Standout Features * Bespoke Shower Lab Glass: One of the highlights of our bathroom is the bespoke Shower Lab glass, which adds a luxurious and custom touch to the space. * Bluestone Calacatta Marble Window Mosaic Tiles: The floor tiles are stunning Bluestone Calacatta Marble Window Mosaic Tiles, which add elegance and sophistication to the bathroom. * Attention to Detail: The design considered height from the floor for various elements, ensuring ergonomic and practical placement. Overall Impression The design by BathroomsbyDesign was thorough and well-thought-out, with a strong emphasis on detail and professionalism. We highly recommend BathroomsbyDesign for anyone looking to renovate their bathroom with precision and their own personal style represented. Our Victorian Terrace home now has a beautifully designed and functional bathroom that perfectly blends modern amenities with classic charm.”
