KITCHEN PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS ​

There are so many moving parts to planning and executing a well-designed kitchen, however it doesn’t have to be mind-boggling. We are going to hold your hand and help you navigate throughout the entire decision-making process.

The perfect time to start is right at the beginning. You’ve decided to renovate or build a new kitchen, and that’s when we come in. Starting at this early stage enables us to guide you through all the following steps:

  • A comprehensive consultation process;
  • design to suit all of your requirements;
  • Smashing through the demolition with you – if renovating;
  • Being a part of the installation process;
  • Addressing modifications if required; and
  • The final fun part of decorating!

We will help you plan out the kitchen and butler’s pantry right down to the nitty gritty details. Where do you put your Tupperware? Will you have a dry or wet pantry? Handles or no handles? How does the “kitchen triangle” effectively work in your space? These are all important questions to be able to answer. So don’t wait until you’ve started construction to reach out to us – sometimes by then it’s too late. Talk to us today if you’re even thinking of a new kitchen or renovation.

A stunning new kitchen is one of the most important build projects you’ll ever attempt in updating your home.

The former psychologist, interior designer and mother of three brings a unique set of skills to the client relationship.

“I think having worked as a psychologist I can talk to people on all different levels. Most people tell me they just feel really comfortable. That’s important when you’re building rapport and trust – being able to really listen to someone’s needs and gather all the right information is the best way to meet a brief for a kitchen renovation.”

Last year, Rachel worked with Queensland couple and viewer favourites Norm Hogan and Jess Eva to help create their kitchens at St Kilda’s iconic Gatwick Hotel.

The focus on extra storage was a key element in the couple’s Melbourne kitchen renovation which judges ranked as “one of the most beautiful kitchens ever produced on The Block.”
