Starting the Kitchen Design Project  

We were refurbishing our entire house and knew the kitchen would become the centrepiece. We began by exploring DIY Kitchens, drawn in by their competitive pricing and impressive showroom. However, as novices, we quickly realised the process was overwhelming and needed a design company to guide us every step of the way.  

Discovering Beau Bijou Design  

Our search for expert support led us to Beau Bijou Design. Richard stood out immediately. He was always available to answer questions, no matter the time. His background and consultative approach set Beau Bijou apart from everyone else we considered.  

The Challenges

Visiting showrooms helped us visualise options, but we knew the real challenge was in  the details: planning and coordinating every aspect. Our house needed a complete  overhaul and involved every trade—carpenters, plumbers, electricians, floor installers,  builders, and plasterers.

The Kitchen Design Process & Communication

The design process with Beau Bijou was excellent. Richard and his team were proactive,  precise, and always listened to our requirements. Their consultative approach meant  our ideas were valued, but their expertise elevated the final design beyond our  expectations. Communication was seamless, never rushed, and every detail  thoughtfully considered.

Standout Features & Services

Several things stood out for us:

  • The design process was always consultative and never rushed
  • Beau Bijou managed the DIY Kitchen ordering and delivery
  • We received proactive recommendations for taps, sinks, and appliances
  • Alternatives were always suggested to suit our needs and preferences  Turnaround Time
  • Timelines were met as expected, which is rare these days. Our expectations were high and Beau Bijou delivered on every front.

Product Recommendations  

We went with several of Beau Bijou’s recommendations, including sinks and a Quooker  tap. All have been excellent choices and the worktops are a particular highlight. 

Installation & After-Sales Support  

Beau Bijou’s support didn’t end once the design was finalised. Richard stayed in touch  throughout the installation and any minor issues were resolved immediately, with no  delays. The team was always just a phone call away.  

Living with the New Kitchen  

Now that we’ve been using the kitchen for a while, it’s truly wonderful. The layout is  ergonomic, the utility area works perfectly, and even small details like a secret door to  the utility were expertly designed.  

Recommendation  

We regularly recommend Beau Bijou Design to others. Their consultative service,  constant availability, and expert product recommendations made the whole process  straightforward. For anyone considering a new kitchen, working with Beau Bijou is a “no  brainer”. The level of support and guidance they oƯer simply can’t be matched by  managing the process alone.
