Commercial interiors

Offices, cafés, salons and showrooms, planned around how the space earns its keep: durable materials, clear circulation and fit-outs scheduled around trading.

Who this suits

  • A salon or studio
  • An office or showroom
A small showroom and reception: a walnut counter with a stone top under three pendants, and a wall of material samples

What's included

  • Layout and circulation planning
  • Counters, display and storage joinery
  • Durable finishes for daily use
  • Fit-out scheduling around opening hours

How this kind of project runs

  1. Stage 1 of 6: First conversation

    Material samples laid out: walnut-faced plywood, oak, limestone, linen, lacquer chips and a brass pull
    A call or meeting about the space, how you use it and what isn't working. We talk about scope and a comfortable budget range, and agree whether a site visit is the right next step.

    You approveWhether to go ahead with a site visit

    ThenSite visit & measurement

  2. Stage 2 of 6: Site visit & measurement

    An empty room with the kitchen's outline taped on the wall and paper protecting the floor
    We measure every wall, opening and service point, photograph the space and check what can and can't move. This is where most surprises are found — before they cost anything.

    You receiveMeasured drawings of the space · Notes on constraints

    You approveThe brief the design will answer

    ThenDesign & 3D

  3. Stage 3 of 6: Design & 3D

    Line drawing of the kitchen run and tall storage
    Layouts first, then 3D views and material samples you can hold. We revise together until the plan, the look and the estimate all agree.

    ThenProduction

  4. Stage 4 of 6: Production

    A workshop bench with stacked plywood sheets, a walnut-faced panel, a clamp and a steel rule
    Joinery is made from the approved drawings. Site work — electrical, plumbing, civil — is scheduled so the room is ready when the joinery is.

    You receiveA written schedule · Progress updates at agreed points

    You approveAny change, in writing, before it is made

    ThenInstallation

  5. Stage 5 of 6: Installation

    Kitchen carcasses installed along the wall, before fronts and worktop
    Fitting on site: carcasses levelled, doors aligned, worktops templated and fixed. The site is kept clean and protected each day.

  6. Stage 6 of 6: Handover

    The finished kitchen with oak fronts, limestone worktop and dining table
    We walk through every door, drawer and fitting together, fix anything outstanding and explain how to look after each finish.

Material options

Illustration of three laminate samples: a wood print, a pale solid and a dark solid
Laminate samples

Laminate

What it is
A printed or solid-colour sheet pressed onto board under heat and pressure.
Where we use it
Hard-working shutters, interiors and commercial counters.
Why
Tough, easy to clean and available in many colours and wood looks.
Trade-offs
Edges show a line; wood prints don't age like real timber.
Care
Any mild cleaner; avoid hot pans directly on the surface.
Concept render: a fan of matte lacquer samples in terracotta, sage, stone, grey and white
Lacquer samples — five colourways

Matte lacquer

What it is
A sprayed paint finish on board, built up in layers and sanded between coats.
Where we use it
Kitchen and wardrobe shutters where a calm, solid colour is wanted.
Why
Any colour is possible, and a matte surface hides fingerprints better than gloss.
Trade-offs
Chips can happen on sharp knocks and need a careful touch-up; pale colours show marks.
Care
Soft cloth and mild soap; no abrasive pads.
Concept render: a honed stone sample with an eased edge, resting on a pale worktop
Honed stone — eased edge

Stone worktops

What it is
Natural or engineered stone slabs, cut and finished on site templates.
Where we use it
Kitchen worktops, splashes and vanity tops.
Why
Heat- and wear-resistant, with a weight and presence that board can't match.
Trade-offs
Some natural stones stain or etch; engineered stone is more uniform but less varied.
Care
Wipe acids and oils promptly; reseal natural stone as advised for the type.

What affects the cost

  • Floor area

Questions

How long does a project take?
It depends on the size of the work, the finishes chosen and how ready the site is. You receive a written schedule with the final design, and we keep you updated against it.
How is an estimate put together?
Room by room and item by item: carcass, shutters, finish, hardware, worktops and fitting are listed separately, so you can see what each choice costs and adjust before anything is made.
