We can design you a kitchen, at any budget level
from IKEA to a handmade kitchen from a cabinetmaker - and provide you with great illustrations of your new kitchen. What we won't do is try to sell you a kitchen.
We design any style of kitchen, traditional inset framed (above) ... or modern (below).
Take a look at our Kitchen Design Services pages and the Kitchen Design Gallery for more pictures of Majjie's kitchen designs.

kitchen design news

At last ... Grohe have introduced a filter tap for the kitchen which will also carbonate the water; you can choose between still, lightly sparkling and sparkling water. I've always been a fan of filter taps - for those whose tap water isn't very tasty - but I've also always had a few reservations. Water's for washing in, isn't it? Not if it's bubbly, though. With one of these taps, you could stop buying that bottled water. Even I might drink the recommended 8 glasses of tap water a day, if it was sparkling.

The Grohe Blue Chilled and Sparkling (or Grohe Blue 2) comes as a starter kit, with a choice of two tap shapes, the water filter and carbonator, and a glass carafe to store your water. Grohe also do three other filter taps. The Grohe Blue just provides filtered tap water (no cooling or sparkle) - but at a more affordable price - whilst the Grohe Red is a boiling water tap, available as a dedicated hot water tap (the mono) or as a mixer tap with the option of boiling water (the Duo).

What's New?

Spring, of course, is the time for cleaning out the kitchen - maybe even thinking about replacing it with a brand new one. Pascal Tarabay Red Classic ClockIf you can't stretch that far, though, how about a few new accessories to cheer it up?

Red Candy is a good place to look - as long as you like red, of course! This Red Classic Clock could be just the thing for brightening up your kitchen - it's big at 400mm across and very bold. It'll cost you £175 but it could be well worth it.

So much so, that it's now in Majjie's shop. It's from a partnership made in heaven (for kitchen fans) delicious magazine and Lakeland ... it's £69.99 but there are a couple of less expensive options and they have a special offer on at the moment, if you buy two delicious items, you get one at half price.

 How about the delicious mint green china - especially the pasta bowls (right). Majjie loves them - you can eat a lot of things from a pasta bowl - from salads - to soups.
