We couldn't be happier with our new kitchen. John and team were excellent through. They use good quality suppliers, deliver fats and to a very high standard of workmanship and were patient and flexible to our evolving requirements. I would highly recommend John and team to others.

We were at a sticking point with our refurbishment when we decided to use John. We knew what we wanted but couldn't see how it would work. John showed us various layouts and options so that we could move forward with the project and we are delighted with the results. Our space has been totally transformed from several small spaces to an open plan design perfect for a family. John is friendly and professional and we would highly reccommend him to anyone.

Finally making my dream kitchen a reality was pretty daunting.
John listened to my (long!) list of requirements and incorporated them into the final design. He also made some excellent suggestions which l hadn’t even considered. Repositioning the oven and replacing with pan drawers has really improved the overall look of the kitchen, and framing the fridge with cupboards transformed our original plans.
His experience really shone through, especially with his advice and guidance on worktop materials. It really helped us think about using the kitchen over the longer term and we couldn’t be happier with the results.
John’s trades people are of a very high standard and are very tidy and polite. John was also always available to discuss any thoughts and concerns I had, which were many! His calmness and experience helped take the stress out of making decisions.
Although I was dreading the work physically starting, he made the whole project fun. I really felt like I was in safe hands and did not have to worry. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

I wanted to take the time to recommend John at Place Design. The work he did for us was exceptional. He is completely professional but also friendly and understanding. I had very strong ideas about what I wanted the kitchen to achieve. John took the time to understand how our family lives before designing the kitchen. I wanted it all, a kitchen that was beautiful but also practical for my family. John delivered on so many levels. He came to visit several times, also came to look at the space as it was being built and gave feedback on various different aspects of the space as it was being created. I wanted to wait a few months and live in the house before I wrote a review. After all the proof of the pudding and all that! It is frankly just even better than we had hoped for. I am currently sat working from home at my lovely breakfast bar looking through my lovely french windows over the garden. What I have is a wonderful, calming space that can cope with the madness of two teenagers at mealtimes, art projects, homework. Also it works well when we have 3 million kids round (well it feels like it!) If you are planning a project I cannot recommend John enough. His honesty and commitment to excellence, along with his friendly and flexible approach are second to none.

Beautiful classic shaker kitchen from Place Design.
After looking at many different companies, we asked John from Place Design to design and supply a shaker style kitchen as part of our recent home extension. John gave nothing but perfect service. His design credentials really shone as he came up with imaginative and creative ideas which resulted in our stunning new kitchen. The quality of the cabinets & finish is superb and the project hasn't broken the bank. I cannot recommend Place Design enough

John helped us from the outset in terms of designing and planning our dream kitchen and 2 new bathrooms. His suggestions during all phases of the project were indicative of his vast experience in designing and installing beautiful functional spaces. He brought with him a team of incredible fitters and builders who were able to complete other aspects of our project including installation of a new kitchen roof and roof lantern, new central heating, full decoration, restoration of hardwood flooring etc. The project was substantial and John played a pivotal role through the renovation. He was able and happy to work within our budget and added huge value in helping us decide which elements could be compromised on and which couldn’t thus maintaining the high end finish we wanted. We are absolutely delighted with the kitchen, bathrooms and what was a significant transformation. Our project was completed in agreed timelines and to our specified budget. I have absolutely no reservations in highly recommending John.

We've been enjoying using our new family kitchen for the last month. I found John Place (by chance) on the Houzz website, I'm so glad I did. I was I initially nervous about using a kitchen designer based soley on website reviews. I'm a bit of a traditionalist and my initial plan was to use a designer based in a showroom. Any concerns I had were forgotten after initial consultations with John and conversations with his former customers. After our initial meetings he came up with different plan options for our kitchen. The plan we liked best included a beautiful bespoke island and a utility room which conceals our washing machine, dryer and microwave behind bi-fold doors. There's so much we like about our new kitchen. Our favourite bit is the bespoke island. It's great to look at and perfectly suited to enjoying a drink and a chat with family and friends. I'd definitely recommend using John, particularly as he gave design ideas for the whole build not just the kitchen.

I am delighted with our new kitchen and would have no hesitation in recommending John, who I found through Houzz. He was easy going, but organised and did not give up easily. I liked the fact that he didn’t push his ideas, but when I wanted and asked for his opinion – he’s the designer after all! - he didn’t sit on the fence he gave it, which was useful. After his initial visit, he returned with several layouts, one was particularly inspired and we opted for it straight away and for his suggestion of an elliptical island, which is just interesting and different! He was accommodating about costs, researching alternative look alike worktops when the original choice proved too expensive.

John professionally designed my kitchen also with our ideas. Attained deadlne with budget in mind. Quality and perfection is visibly projected. Will gladly recommend him any day. John is a listener with brilliant ideas & suggestions that works and does all his projects with such zeal and passion. He first did a £38K project in London for us in 2011, which was so fabulous and complimented by all who came to the house. Will use him any day and hence coming back. He is a pro.
