Kitchen Plans

Kitchen Plans offer a totally new concept to designing and planning your kitchen. Kitchen Plans is run by Pat O Connell who has spent many years working for a number of kitchen retailers in the Cork area planning, designing & managing kitchen and bedroom installations for very satisfied customers.
Kitchen Plans was set up in 2010 to respond to a growing demand for a kitchen design service that customers could obtain professional & Impartial kitchen design, plans to look over and advice for a reasonable fee. More & more people now want to design and plan a kitchen, take the designs away to consider and look at different design options if necessary to get exactly what they want. We provide a personalised service while providing straight forward & honest advice.

The following are reasons that people want independent kitchen design
• That they have not been impressed by the design service offered by kitchen showrooms and found that the emphasis here was to get the sale rather than provide good design.
• That designs done in showrooms will not be given out without a commitment being made to buy the kitchen first or at least payment of a design fee refundable against the price of the kitchen.
• That they have a good cabinetmaker who will build the kitchen for them but they do not provide a design service.
• That they want to consider all options when construction work is involved especially in new build, extension and renovation projects. This may involve moving walls, windows or doors and also positioning of services such as underfloor heating, island service points, extraction ducting, electrical and plumbing positions.
• That they want to take the designs to several kitchen providers to obtain like for like quotes and compare the quality of what they have on offer.
• That they have a limited budget and don’t know what is achievable within it.

A kitchen is the most expensive room in the house to fit out and is one of the biggest spends apart from the house that people will make in their lifetime so it is important to get it right.
