Interior Design Consultancy Works

I was surfing the web the other day in order to do some research on kitchen design philosophies for one of our interior design consultancy’s current projects in London. I was intrigued to find all sorts of recommendations for how to think about kitchen design. I thought I would recap some of the best suggestions here – but with my usual focus on London residences, and adding a few time-tested tips drawing on the experience of our interior design consultancy!

1. Just because it is possible doesn't mean that you should do it! Sometimes our interior design consultancy works with a client who is desperate to make major structural changes to a kitchen. Such a reconfiguration may be possible (and London’s master plumbers never lack creativity!) but rather expensive, without promising any compellingly spectacular improvements. In such cases the interior design consultancy should suggest less radical alternative options for a refreshed look.

2. Kitchen workflow is key. The interior design consultancy should ask the client multiple questions. Will the residence be filled with food connoisseurs or London fine dining enthusiasts? Does the main cook of the household crave a luxury baking station, a stowage zone for fine teas, or a temperature-controlled section for speciality beverages?

3. Think about usage scenarios. The interior design consultancy should consider whether the kitchen will double as an entertainment space for guests during parties. Few London residences are large enough to accommodate an entire gathering in a kitchen, but the interior design consultancy should find out whether the kitchen will need to function as a spillover zone during especially large reunions or celebrations.
