About The Project

When our client first approached us, they were looking to breathe new life into their existing kitchen. Their priorities were centred around improving storage, integrating modern appliances seamlessly, and achieving a sophisticated, high-end finish. A key part of their vision included the use of elegant curved units, a durable stone worktop, stylish LVT flooring, and a carefully matched splashback. They desired a kitchen that was both practical for everyday use and a beautiful space for entertaining — one that felt open, airy, and inviting.

This is what the kitchen looked like before

The Process & The Kitchen Design & Build In Progress

Our journey began with a detailed consultation and survey of the existing kitchen. We listened carefully to the client’s aspirations, assessed the current layout, and discussed how we could maximise space while delivering a sleek, modern design. Storage solutions were high on the agenda, and we crafted a plan that combined practicality with visual appeal.

Following the initial survey, we provided a comprehensive quotation, outlining the materials and trades required to bring the design to life. We selected premium kitchen units, luxurious quartz worktops, hardwearing LVT flooring, and a coordinating splashback. The choice of materials was crucial, ensuring both durability and elegance in the finished space.

Bellhouse Kitchens managed the entire installation process, coordinating a seamless schedule between our skilled in-house kitchen fitting team, plumbing specialists, flooring experts, and a trusted stonemason for the quartz worktops. One notable challenge arose with the client’s desire for a curved larder unit — a feature not readily available off-the-shelf. Rising to the challenge, our team custom-built this feature using adapted wall cabinets, ensuring a flawless integration into the overall design.

Throughout the process, communication was key. We kept our client updated at every stage, ensuring they felt confident and excited about the transformation happening in their home.
