Soft tones, timeless styling, and bespoke features for modern family life.
A kitchen that blends refined taste with everyday ease
About The Customer
This warm and inviting kitchen was designed for Laura and Rob, a couple looking to elevate their daily routine and host friends and family in style. Their previous layout was outdated and didn’t reflect the charm of their newly updated home.
- Industry / Lifestyle: Homeowners, Lifestyle & Entertaining
- Location: Lincolnshire, UK
- Home: Semi-detached property, recently renovated
- Kitchen Use: Daily cooking, entertaining, coffee-making, and family life — plus one very loved dog named Bear 🐾
The Challenge
The original kitchen came with a few key frustrations:
- A tired layout that lacked visual flow and practical prep space
- Dated finishes and cabinetry that didn’t match the homeowners’ taste
- Limited lighting and dark corners that made the room feel smaller
- Minimal room for casual dining or social interaction
- No tailored storage for kitchen gadgets, dog essentials, or daily coffee routines
👉 Curious how we approach complex kitchen challenges?
The Solution
We designed a light-filled kitchen with a layout that feels effortlessly elegant. Working closely with Laura and Rob, we created a bespoke solution tailored to their lifestyle — refined yet functional, with every detail considered.
Key features of our solution included:
- Classic Shaker cabinetry in a soft stone hue, designed with framed fronts and a natural woodgrain texture for timeless warmth.
- Marble-look quartz worktops and splashback, offering beautiful veining and low-maintenance durability.
- Integrated Neff appliances set within tall cabinetry for a clean and seamless aesthetic.
- Built-in seating peninsula, doubling as a breakfast bar and sociable spot for evening drinks.
- Farmhouse-style Belfast sink under a large window, paired with a brushed steel tap and routed drainer grooves.
- Feature herringbone floor tiling in warm oak tones, adding natural warmth and subtle movement.
- Dedicated pet station with custom cabinetry and integrated food bowl niche for their chocolate Labrador, Bear.
The result is a beautifully crafted kitchen that perfectly balances aesthetics and everyday practicality — a space the homeowners are proud to share with guests and enjoy daily.

What The Customer Said
I can’t recommend Grand Designs enough. The whole process was so straightforward and nothing was too much trouble. We were kept up to date, and Tom popped in daily to check everything was on track. The craftsmanship is amazing — and our fitter, Jonny, was an absolute perfectionist. Thank you so much for bringing our dream kitchen to life. We love it.
