Lacewood Designs

read moreWe design and install quality bespoke English and German kitchens for clients across the South of England. You won't find anything quite like our kitchens on the high street. We provide a personal service, greater choice and lots of flexibility. As a Siemens 'built-in specialist' we have a selection of the latest Siemens appliances available. We also provide and install a huge range of the latest kitchen appliances and accessories, sourced internationally and from a wealth of suppliers. Our reputation has been built on years of experience, but more importantly, satisfied customers who are happy to recommend us.

read moreWe are always happy to offer suggestions and pay great attention to the layout of the room to ensure the best use of space. The result will be a unique kitchen that reflects your style and personality and a kitchen that works for YOU. I have been designing and making kitchens since I was made redundant from my job in agriculture in 1987. With a young family to provide for and at a crossroads in my life, I pursued my former hobby and started making furniture to sell locally. This soon progressed to designing and making kitchen cabinets and, as they say, the rest is history!

read moreWe started selling Kitchens from Beeck Kuechen in 2015 with a single display and within 2 years they became our best selling range. With 80 door styles to choose from and a huge amount of flexibility in terms of finishes, colours and unit sizes, if we can draw it Beeck will make it. Their designs cover both contemporary and classic styles which is unusual for a German manufacturer. Another German manufacturer, Kuhlmann was our main supplier of German kitchens until we started selling Beeck. The range of styles and colours is more limited than that offered by Beeck but a kitchen from Kuhlmann can be more economically priced so we will continue to have the range available.

We understand that not having a working kitchen is a huge inconvenience to any household and will do our best to minimise the disruption. Stone worktops require templating with the installation happening 7-10 later. Some, but not all, solid surface tops require templating as well, with a similar lead time to installation. Yes, we will remove all units and have them disposed of, before installing your new kitchen.

read moreRecently we've been lucky enough to have some really huge kitchen projects in absolutely stunning period or new-build homes. The kitchens we have shown you like this beautiful in-frame design in a former conservatory and this classic painted design in a new build-home would both be described as our ‘Elite' range of kitchens - the top of the line that we have to offer. Today we want to show you a project that is one of our ‘Mid-priced' kitchens. It seems to me that most homes are long-term projects; there always seems to be a list of things to do, from putting in the new bathroom to finally getting quotes for the much awaited kitchen.

read moreWell, another year is drawing to close and we have had the pleasure of designing and installing some fantastic kitchens! As always, we are very grateful to our customers for choosing Lacewood Designs. We're equally as excited by what 2016 has in store for us and it's fascinating to see the changing trends that are inspiring our customers as we end 2015 and head into the new year. I chatted with Graham, our expert, about his expectations for the coming year - what he sees being popular and what trends he thinks will take off, based on the latter part of 2015 and what our current customers are asking for.

read moreSay the word ‘kitchen extractor' and many people will still see a stainless steel box, stuck somewhere above a hob that makes a horrendous noise when you turn it on. I am sure you are well aware that those days well and truly over! The design of kitchen extractors has evolved so much in the past decade that it's astonishing what is now available. Take this beautiful over-counter kitchen light, for example. Your dinner guests would be surprised and impressed to discover that it is a fully working extractor hood by Elica.

read moreIf you look at our ‘Furniture Suppliers' page on our website, we briefly outline the main manufacturers of our excellent and varied furniture range. Two of those mentioned are German brands. This tends to be because the Germans are at the forefront of cutting edge kitchen design, they value practicality and effective use of space very highly and their passion for quality is unmatched. Another German brand, Beeck excel in their truly bespoke service and excellent quality products. Beeck are a family-run business that manufacture all their products themselves.
