Schmidt Kitchens helping to transform a new home
David and Raine wanted to transform their new home by knocking three rooms
together and making a modern kitchen and dining area.
The challenge was choosing
the right kitchen, with the
right look, the best quality,
at an affordable price. It also
had to work well functionally
in an open plan setting.
David says “to make it more
challenging, Raine had seen
her dream kitchen at the Grand
Designs exhibition. But it turned
out to be extremely expensive.
I took a look at the Schmidt
range and thought this could
be the answer and arranged an
appointment with Renee. I can’t
say that Raine was too keen on the
idea so we went to the Dorking
showroom in some trepidation!”
The visit could not have gone
better and in the space of a couple
of hours, there was a clear idea
of what the kitchen needed to
look like and an understanding
of how it could be achieved
within an agreed budget.
“Renee’s attention to detail, truly
listening and working with what
we were trying to achieve with
our project instilled confidence
and trust. She was able to get to
grips, not only with our ideas and
needs, but just as importantly
with how our kitchen would
impact on the whole project.”
“We wanted a fair bit of storage,
a feature island, and state of the
art accessories like the Quooker
hot tap. We also wanted our
lovely Miele appliances to look
at their best and be positioned
with functionality in mind. And
all with a sense of space so that
when we have guests, there
is ample room to cook and
socialise at the same time.”
“Schmidt’s combination of German
engineering strength with French
elegance does actually deliver in
practice and explains why they are
able to give 10 year guarantees
on furniture and 25 years on
internal mechanisms such as
drawers, runners and hinges.”
“The installation had to be timed
with our builders and all just before
Christmas. Thankfully, Schmidt
Dorking’s fitters were brilliant
and everything came together!
So we would highly recommend
Schmidt Dorking to anyone
seeking a high quality solution
for a new kitchen.”
