Lester was absolutely brilliant in both the designing and overseeing of our kitchen renovation. He went above and beyond in all areas of the process.

Lester was able to guide us to a design that we wouldn’t have come up with ourselves, and when there was a delay in the order with the supplier, Lester ensured that was resolved asap to minimise disruption.

Thank you again. We would definitely go back to Beau Bijou Design.

Lester from Beau Bijou exceeded our expectations with his help designing our kitchen. He listened to our ideas and priorities, creating a design that suits our needs and enhances our unique kitchen space. He was generous with his time, quick to respond and had an approachable and helpful attitude.

Lester was accommodating with actioning any draft amendments with patience and expertise. He listened to our vision as well as offering his own suggestions throughout the project. His help & skill has resulted in a kitchen design that we love and that has brought our ideas to life.

Even after we had completed the design and ordered the units, Lester assisted us greatly. He was quick to respond to any last minute queries or arising problems with deliveries, supporting us with contacting the kitchen company.

I highly recommended Lester and Beau Bijou’s services.

We started to plan and design our new kitchen with Mal Sykes at Beau Bijou.
It has been a joy and fantastic to work with Mal in coming up with a suitable design. His ideas and experience have been fabulous; bringing to life our thoughts on our forever kitchen. It's been a fantastic experience and are really happy with our new kitchen design. We can't wait for it to be installed. An asset to Beau Bijou, many thanks Mal.
Would definitely recommend Beau Bijou and a must see is the fabulous showroom in Hebden Bridge.

Lester Hill from BeauBjou kitchen designers was very professional. His attention to detail, and expert guidance has been fantastic.

He took the time to listen to our ideas, offered thoughtful suggestions, and ensured that everything—from the design to the delivery of parts—ran smoothly as possible.

His recommendations made a real difference, and the finished kitchen looks both beautiful and functional.

We are absolutely delighted with the result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone thinking of fitting a new kitchen.

Lester at Beau Bijoux Design worked with me to create a plan for our new kitchen, opting for the free design service for diy kitchens.
I was wary at first as couldn’t find much in the way of reviews, but after much research decided to take the plunge and am so glad we did. It was clear that lester had a good understanding of the particular units that diy sold and how to make best use of my space in relation to their specific kitchens. I must stress that I really appreciated his patience with me throughout - I had numerous questions and concerns and lester was always very prompt and helpful at keeping in touch, via email, text and calls when required. Even when it came to fitting, he happily took a call from my fitter who had some questions about some aspects.
Plans were detailed and well thought out, and the kitchen has turned out just as we hoped, making it a much more pleasant space to be which works far better for us than our previous kitchen.
Really pleased with the service and would recommend happily.
Some photos of Lester’s design and the final kitchen added for reference.

It was so helpful having Aimee instead of leaving me to work out the DIY kitchen planner! Our kitchen is quite an awkward shape and she was so knowledgable knowing which cupboards etc would fit in the spaces! After the first design she spent days speaking with us via whatsapp with so much patience after my husband got one of the measurements incorrect(!!) and she was able to make several suggestions and play around back & forth until we were totally confident with our design. I don’t know why anyone looking at a DIY kitchen wouldn’t come to you. Especially as you get the money back off your order anyway! Thank you so much I have already recommended one of my friends your way!

Richard has been amazing from start to finish. I wanted a DIY Kitchens kitchen but knew I’d never manage the design side on my own. I came across Richard online and honestly, I couldn’t have done it without him. Nothing was ever too much trouble — he guided me through every stage, gave brilliant advice, and even dealt directly with the workmen to make sure everything went smoothly. His patience, professionalism, and attention to detail were second to none. The kitchen looks fantastic, and the whole process was stress-free thanks to him. I can’t recommend Richard highly enough!

Absolutely outstanding service! Jacob designed a beautiful, high-quality kitchen that exceeded my expectations—at a price I could actually afford. His knowledge, guidance, and attention to detail made the whole process seamless, from design to ordering. The results are far better than what I was offered by big-name brands, and at a fraction of the cost. I couldn’t be happier and highly recommend this company to anyone wanting their dream kitchen without the dream price tag. As an independent they are not pushing sponsored products but can provide real advice that is priceless, Jacob was phenomenal I am delighted with the outcome and would recommend them highly. Thank you

I heard about Beau Bijou from a friend who had used them and had a positive experience.

We also had a great experience with Lester at Beau Bijou. So I'm glad we used them. He was super responsive, had a keen eye for detail and design.

He delivered when he said he would. And using the service definitely saved us money compared to going to each supplier directly.

We had originally thought we would use them because DIY kitchens design tool was tricky to work with. But they were able to source from a wider range of suppliers and so we were able to get a higher spec Pebble kitchen within budget and he was able to get quotes for both, to help us compare.

Couldn't recommend Lester and Beau Bijou highly enough.

Wow, where do we start? We have had the best experience working with Richard. He has been so detailed and helpful. His advice and knowledge has helped us design our dream kitchen.

Richard supplied us with detailed 3D designs that really helped us to visualise the kitchen. Then he continued to update them for us numerous times after any change no matter how small. Richard was patient with us even after Whastapping 10000s of questions about our kitchen, he never made us feel like a nuisance and always responded quickly. And even though we’ve finished designing and have ordered our kitchen, he continues to be a huge help responding to any queries that we have. We would highly recommend Beau Bijou if you are looking for someone to help design your kitchen. Thank you Richard.

Richard designed me my kitchen using DIY kitchens. The turnaround for the design was very quick, we then discussed it and he was happy to make adjustments to the design. The ordering process was easy and straightforward and also meant all the extras were included.
Richard kept me informed about delivery and arranged the reorder or a cabinet that was damaged.
I'll be using Richard for my utility design and order. Thank you

Beau Bijou Design was recommended to me through a Facebook page and I’m so glad I used Richard to help design my DIY kitchen.
He made the process so easy and often made great suggestions that I hadn’t considered. His knowledge about the types of units and fittings available is exceptional and he made the whole planning process enjoyable. He was happy to give me variations of a design and was really quick to respond to any questions I had. I doubt I would have had the confidence to order a DIY kitchen without Beau Bijou Design’s assistance. It’s a brilliant service and I can’t wait to see the kitchen we created! ????

We came across Richard whilst looking for a designer to help us design a kitchen and select the right products on the DIY kitchens site. It was great to have such a listening and patient ear to bounce ideas off and through many many (and there were many!!) iterations finally arrived at a design which was both elegant and fit our budget. We really valued his impartial advice on the various models and his guidance in arriving finally at a comfortable place. Thank you Richard. Much obliged

Expertise to help you get the most from your kitchen design

We're Delighted

“Beau Bijou have designed 2 kitchens for us and each time we have been delighted with the outcome. Both kitchens have been fab. One large kitchen and the other a smaller space but never the less just perfect for our needs.“

Christine from Keighley, West Yorkshire

“I was hesitant at first as I was actually quite happy with the design my kitchen shop had done but I thought, this kitchen will hopefully be my last and for the sake of £400 it was worth a try. I am so happy I went for it. The design Richard did for me was far better and I even saved £800 on my worktops by using their trade account with Gemini. My fitter loved the plans too. He said it was so easy to read”

Luke from Leeds, West Yorkshire

Truly fantastic

"The services of Beau Bijou Designs were truly fantastic, they designed our kitchen with such great care and consideration of our needs and budget. The plans and execution of those plans were consistent from start to finish. Thank you BB Designs."

Great service all the way round definitely would recommend.

Best decision I ever made using this service, when I started my journey with my renovation I was so worried with all the bad reviews that was out there in the kitchen industry. I didn’t know where to go.
Beau Bijou design helped me with every avenue, the design was amazing. The things they came up with I would never of thought of or doing.

They advised me where to buy the kitchen from, how to save on my appliances, flooring, worktops and splashbacks. I can’t fault them and thank you for being patient with me because I can be hard work sometimes.

Great service all the way round definitely would recommend.

The service I received was amazing

“I never thought about using an interior designer for my kitchen until I came across Beau Bijou Design. The service I received was amazing. After having 3 designs done by kitchen retailers, I was so impressed with the difference and the recommendations saved me a lot of money. I would definitely use them again”

Samantha from Orpington, Greater London

Richard is incredibly patient, enthusiastic, available evenings and weekends

FANTASTIC SERVICE ! I’m thoroughly impressed with the excellent advice and professionalism throughout the entire process. I wanted to buy a kitchen through DIY Kitchen but found the DIY design daunting. The remote process also slightly concerned me but I can’t recommend Beau Bijou more highly. Just a drawing with measurements, and photos of my old kitchen was enough.

I’m also picky and changed my mind a few times about details. Richard is incredibly patient, enthusiastic, available evenings and weekends to see the process through to the end. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him."

The dedication and attention to detail was truly exceptional.

I highly recommend Beau Bijou Design for their outstanding work on my kitchen. Richard, the designer, produced an amazing kitchen design and collaborated with me throughout the entire process. He worked tirelessly, day and night, and was always responsive, getting back to me immediately whenever I needed something.

Richard also arranged a shopping basket from various suppliers, focusing on both quality and budget. All of this was delivered for an unbelievably low price. The dedication and attention to detail was truly exceptional.

Highly satisfied with the service and excited to see the final result!

Great design and savings

Really Amazing

“I asked Beau Bijou design to come out and look at my kitchen as I didn’t know where to start. Richard spent a long time talking me through all of the options and measuring my kitchen.

The designs he produced were better than I’d hoped, they were really amazing. I had never heard of a freelance kitchen designer until I had seen them on Facebook and I glad I gave them a go. I ended up getting my kitchen from DIY Kitchens and they did the order for me and I bought my Calacuta gold quartz worktops from Beau Bijou too and they are beautiful! So happy.”

His expertise, responsiveness and all round great service has got me further towards my new kitchen than any ther supplier so far! 🙂

“After trawling round several high street and independent retailers and DIY stores for 3 months I felt like i was going round in circles. Nobody I’d seen would give me plans without a deposit, even when i offered to pay for a plan they weren’t interested.

Cue Richard at Beau Bijou Designs, who’s produced a really great plan for my kitchen for a really affordable price, within one week of me contacting him. It’s all been done remotely and i can now approach retailers and fitters to get accurate costs.

I’m still working with Richard on appliances, quartz worktops, and other parts of my kitchen, his recommendations have been so helpful. I’m interested in ordering direct through DIY kitchens, who Richard works alongside for some of his projects, and as a bonus he will discount the design fee if I order through him. Even if I don’t, I’d still be very happy with the service and design from Richard, His expertise, responsiveness and all round great service has got me further towards my new kitchen than any other supplier so far! :)”

Richard supplied us with detailed 3D designs that really helped us to visualise the kitchen. Then he continued to update them for us numerous times after any change no matter how small. Richard was patient with us even after Whastapping 10000s of questions about our kitchen, he never made us feel like a nuisance and always responded quickly. And even though we’ve finished designing and have ordered our kitchen, he continues to be a huge help responding to any queries that we have. We would highly recommend Beau Bijou if you are looking for someone to help design your kitchen. Thank you Richard."

I highly recommend Beau Bijou Design for their outstanding work on my kitchen. Richard, the designer, produced an amazing kitchen design and collaborated with me throughout the entire process. He worked tirelessly, day and night, and was always responsive, getting back to me immediately whenever I needed something.

Richard also arranged a shopping basket from various suppliers, focusing on both quality and budget. All of this was delivered for an unbelievably low price. The dedication and attention to detail was truly exceptional. Highly satisfied with the service and excited to see the final result!

FANTASTIC SERVICE !

"I'm thoroughly impressed with the excellent advice and professionalism throughout the entire process. I wanted to buy a kitchen through DIY Kitchen but found the DIY design daunting. The remote process also slightly concerned me but I can't recommend Beau Bijou more highly. Just a drawing with measurements, and photos of my old kitchen was enough.

I'm also picky and changed my mind a few times about details. Richard is incredibly patient, enthusiastic, available evenings and weekends to see the process through to the end. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him."

After trawling round several high street and independent retailers and DIY stores for 3 months I felt like I was going round in circles.  Nobody I’d seen would give me plans without a deposit, even when I offered to pay for a plan they weren’t interested. 

Cue Richard at Beau Bijou Designs, who’s produced a really great plan for my kitchen for a really affordable price,  within one week of me contacting him.  It’s all been done remotely and I can now approach retailers and fitters to get accurate costs. I'm still working with Richard on appliances,  quartz worktops,  and other parts of my kitchen, his recommendations have been so helpful. 

I’m interested in ordering  direct through DIY kitchens, who Richard works alongside for some of his projects,  and as a bonus he will discount the design fee if I order through him.   Even if I don’t,  I’d still be very happy with the service and design from Richard. His expertise,  responsiveness and all round great service has got me further towards my new kitchen than any other supplier so far!  🙂

I'm thoroughly impressed with the excellent advice and professionalism of Richard throughout the entire process.

I had approached few companies for quotes but shortlisted DIY kitchens after seeing all the reviews on web.

However being a novice in DIY I was unsure of how easy/ difficult the online planner would be.

That's when I saw Beau Bijou  design pop up in my FB feed and thought this was exactly the service I was  looking for. The remote process also slightly concerned me but I can’t recommend Richard  more highly.For a nominal fee he came to measure our kitchen  provided me with some 3D renders with all the requirements  I had listed.

He double checked the design and the units to go in basket until I was satisfied with it .

I did  change  my mind with colour selection and different type of units  a few times.

Richard is incredibly patient, enthusiastic, available evenings and weekends to see the process through to the end.He also helped me with some valuable advice during fitting process.My kitchen is all fitted  for now .Just waiting for worktops to go on .

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him  especially for those who don't want the hassle of doing it all yourself for DIY kitchens.
