Review for Kitchen Matters
Our search for our dream kitchen (including utility) started 12 months before installation. We were extending the kitchen so had a blank canvas to work from and had to make sure we got it right.
Endless hours were spent at many kitchen suppliers and designers which were all given the same brief but none of the ideas or designs they came up with gave me excitement - but the quotes nearly gave me a heart attack - despite being more lower end German kitchen brands or no brand at all! They were all mediocre and I had to keep compromising on something which I didn't want to do. I came across Kitchen Matters and decided to pop in to the showroom - wow! As soon as you walk in, you know these are the people you want to design your kitchen but I thought a Leicht kitchen within our budget, it's not going to work but thought I'd try anyway. We arranged a meeting so we could discuss likes, dislikes and must haves. Amol asked who uses the kitchen when, how and how much involvement there is from others in the household. He wanted to get a feel for how the hub of the house was used before he designed something.
A week later, we went to see the initial design and we were completely blown away. It was more that what we had envisaged and the 3D CAD drawings were incredible. We'd given him the same budget as we had given others and he absolutely delivered. We were extremely surprised that many extras such as a boiling water tap (a must have by the way) mirror splashback and top of the range worktop was included in the quote. It wasn't what we had asked for but somehow, Amol managed to have these included. Every detail had been thought of - even what way the refrigerator door should open and where the piano should be positioned as this was a big thing for us. His attention to detail is second to none.
We had major setbacks with our home improvements project and Amol was extremely accommodating and reassured us that it happens with build projects and for us not to worry and that they would work around us. A few minor changes were made by us but nothing was a problem for Amol and his team.
Finally a year on and it was time to install the kitchen. Everyone arrived on time and the fitters were absolutely incredible - polite, knowledgeable and tidy. Our builders had made a few errors with the boxing of the steel lintel despite being given Amol's drawings and measurements but the fitters were not willing to compromise the overall design of the kitchen by adding filler panels like the builder had suggested. They thankfully stood their ground and were not willing to cut corners, so we could end up with the kitchen we were promised we would get - thank you.
Anyone that walks in to our kitchen is always taken aback with how beautiful it is but more importantly, it works for our family. Contemporary, sleek lines, great design yet extremely functional. A kitchen design should work around you, you shouldn't have to work around the kitchen and this is what Amol and his team do.
Thank you Amol for your exceptionally professional service. Every penny has been worth it and I would recommend Kitchen Matters to anyone who wants a great design with no compromise.

Hi Figen & Andy - Incredibly grateful for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with you.
