KITCHENS+BATHROOMS

Creative Interior Designs
A friendly and professional family-run business, Creative Interior Designs specialises in kitchen design
and installation, including modern kitchen design and bespoke kitchen design.

However, a lot of the enquires they receive these
days involve the planning and design of openplan living. This can often take the form of a
kitchen, dining, socialising and entertaining space,
which means as designers, Creative Interior
Designs have a lot more to think about than just
creating a great looking, functional kitchen.
This is where the products available to the client
are crucial, as they need to work in harmony with
their own ideas surrounding how the space will
work for them and their own furniture.
Having a large choice of different door finishes
and worktops are an obvious benefit. Some
clients love the simplicity of a white high-gloss
handleless unit, while others want the warmer,
softer feel of a veneer door.

By looking at the project as a whole and helping
the client with floor and wall finishes, Creative
Interior Designs uses photo realistic design
software to lift the design from the architect’s
line drawing, and create a real sense of how the
room will look once complete.
The TV has become more than something stuck
in the corner and will often take pride of place
as a media centrepiece. Being able to design
and supply fur niture to incorporate the growing
number of boxes associated with a TV, while
combining equal amounts of functionality and
design, is a real benefit.
Where the kitchen is in a room of its own, it is
very common to find there may be just one set
of lights. However, if the kitchen were in an openplan environment, this would be far too limited.

Kitchen designers now need to be more informed
on the considered requirements of a good lighting
design, particularly if the room is of multi-use.
Concealed lighting is more popular than ever,
and while downlights still have their place and
provide a good, even source of light, the availability
of LED strip lighting can provide great mood
lighting. Combine these with different zones and
dimmers can really make a difference.
