Independent Kitchen & Wardrobe Design Review

A structured, professional review — before you commit.

Before you order, it's worth checking the details.

Many kitchen, wardrobe and bathroom projects look good on paper — but fail in everyday use.

Layout, clearances, storage logic and joinery details are often overlooked until it's too late.

  • Poor workflow and awkward layouts

  • Insufficient storage and unusable cabinetry

  • Clearance issues with appliances and doors

  • Joinery details that increase cost without adding function

A professional design review helps identify these issues before manufacturing begins.​

Design Experience

Over the past 15 years, I have worked on a wide range of kitchen, wardrobe and bespoke cabinetry projects.

These projects reflect practical design thinking, attention to detail and long-term usability — principles that continue to guide my work today.

Functional & Ergonomic Design Review  

A structured, independent review of your kitchen, wardrobe or bathroom design — before you commit to manufacturing or installation and costly mistakes.

When a design review is essential

Even well-presented designs can hide functional issues that only become obvious after installation when changes are costly, stressful or no longer possible.

What is reviewed

  • Layout logic and workflow

  • Clearances, circulation and door swings

  • Storage planning and everyday usability 

  • Appliance integration and dimensions

  • Joinery details affecting cost and long-term functionality

What you gain

  1. Confidence before ordering or signing off

  2. Clear understanding of potential issues

  3. Reduced risk of costly changes later
