Kitchen Designers in Audley, Staffordshire

“Art House Creative Interiors designed and installed our kitchen. They worked to a very high standard and were both imaginative and practical in accommodating our needs and desires. Julie, with whom we worked more closely, paid close attention to detail whilst not losing sight of our overall objectives. Julie was also mindful of any budgetary constraints or issues. The design and installation teams worked well in tandem with our builders to ensure all was as it should be for fitting. The end product is fabulous and we are delighted with it. There have been a few minor glitches since installation, which have been dealt with swiftly and pleasantly - which is also an important aspect of the service.”

“I have known Lana for some time and have seen many examples of the magic she has worked for other clients. A couple of years ago I bought a large, Victorian house which had many original features intact, but was in need of a complete makeover from top to bottom. Other than wanting to keep the original fireplaces, deep skirting boards, lincrusta wallcovering and decorative covings, I didn't really have a particular 'look' in mind. Lana explained that the refurbishment would have to be completed in phases, with the first stage focusing on building work. The combination of her meticulous planning and extensive network of contacts meant that the replumbing, rewiring, complete window replacement and building of a new staircase were all completed on time, to budget and with the minimum of fuss. There was, of course, a lot of disruption during this part of the process but the end results were worth it. Lana's input into the design of the new, large double glazed sash windows has turned them into beautiful features, rather than functional objects. Her design of the new staircase to fit into a tight space demonstrates her technical expertise aswell as creativity. Phase 2 of the project involved the replacement of bathrooms and the kitchen. Lana designed the layouts for each, starting with a blank piece of paper. A number of options were explained to me, from the fairly straightforward replacement like-for-like of fittings, through to the complete rebuild including removal of walls. Having selected the preferred layout (I went for the complete rebuild), Lana then set to work sourcing unusual and stunning tiles, worktops, fittings and lighting. The results are amazing - totally functional rooms but beautiful at the same time. The final phase (for now, at least) of the transformation was the one which people normally associate with interior designers - furniture, fabrics, floor coverings, lighting and accessories. I confess to being hopeless at putting together combinations of colours, designs and textures but Lana is an absolute star. The array of products she is able to source from around the world is incredible and for each room I was presented with alternative schemes. I have contemporary furniture from Italy covered in fabric from France, sliding panels created from Japanese silk, light fittings from Portugal and bespoke furniture, hand crafted locally to Lana's original design. The overall look of the house is phenomenal. The original Victorian features have been brought back to life by careful choices of colour and are complemented throughout by the careful choice of modern materials. As if this isn't enough, Lana produces fabulous original artwork on canvas, glass, metal and wood. The perfect finishing touch to any room.”

“We absolutely love our new kitchen!! The design was exactly what we had in mind but David gave a few suggestions which we hadn’t thought of and it turned out even better. The fitting was fast (about 3-4 days as it’s a small kitchen) and the lads were really tidy and respectful of the rest of our house. To be honest we could have paid double the price elsewhere and not got the care, service and design ideas from Cook & Baker - I definitely recommend speaking to David if you want a great kitchen at a fair price! - Laura & Brett”
