Our Process

You may have looked at an advert in one of the home interest magazine or found us via one of our supplier’s website, but most of our business is from recommendations. A visit to the showroom is probably were we will start. The process during this initial contact is where we may discuss your ‘wish list’ and your thoughts on how this investment will change the way you live at present.

Starting with our site visit we begin to get to know our clients, their interests, lifestyles and tastes, a business relationship quickly develops, then everyone becomes more relaxed and a certain trust becomes apparent which helps communication, we really do find out what your aspirations are.

Once we have taken the room sizes, confirmed the wish list, initially we generate 3D drawings of your space. This normally consists of 3 or 4 designs and you will start to get a feel for the design and prices of your project. We do projects to suit all budgets; the most important part of the process is the DESIGN.

Common questions and answers.

Before you take that first step, here is some of our clients most often want to know before starting their design journey.

No. Your initial consultation is completely complimentary. We believe the relationship starts with a conversation, and we want you to feel comfortable before making any commitment.

We recommend an initial showroom visit so you can experience our brands and materials in person, this makes a real difference to the design conversation. Once your project is under way, your designer will carry out a full site survey at your home.

Yes. We handle the complete project from design through to installation, co-ordinating our trusted team of specialists including plumbers, electricians, tilers, and joiners, so you have a single point of contact throughout.

Yes. We work across a broad range of investment levels and will always be transparent about costs. Once we understand your budget in the consultation, we design to it so there are no surprises further down the line.

Every project is different, but most kitchen or bathroom projects take between two and six weeks, depending on size and what’s involved. Your designer will give you a realistic programme specific to your project at the outset.

We specialise in kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms, however we have created utility rooms, boot rooms, home offices, home bars, home cinemas and full wellness spas. Whether you are planning a single room or a whole-home project, our design team will guide you through every stage, from initial concept to final installation.

Yes we do. Using two of the best KBB assisted CAD programmes for our kitchens and bathrooms, high resolution rendered images of your designs really help you get a good feel for the spaces and proposed finishes within the design.

We tend to work within a 40 mile radius of Beeston, that branches out to all of Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Lincolnshire. However, we have done projects in Norfolk, Reading, London and even Germany.

We start with either a visit to our showroom where we can discuss your project in detail or we can come out to you so that we can see/measure the existing space.

Yes, our car park can be found on Wollaton Road behind the showroom. You can use the below map link to navigate to the carpark.

Thank you for the kitchen you fitted, we are delighted with the end result and it has been great to show off to friends and family when they visit. Tom you have been very patient with us and our vision including our dislikes and responded to the changes that we (constantly!) made along the way. Inevitably there were a few hitches which you have dealt with creatively. Thanks Tom for helping us get there in the end we are really happy with the result.

Mr & Mrs Taylor, Derbyshire

My parents told us we should go to Steven Christopher Design for our new kitchen and we’re delighted that they did! we knocked through our kitchen and dining room and Tom designed a brilliant new layout. He took so much care and detail in the design, project managed the whole process brilliantly and was on hand for queries that came up whilst our building works took place. We’re also very grateful that the team moved things around to squeeze in our fitting before the arrival of our little one! Couldn’t be happier with the new kitchen, so much more functional for a family and a stunning design. Thank you Tom and team!

Mr & Mrs Reynolds, Derbyshire

‘Would highly recommend. Elena is a superstar and designed my dream bathroom. It’s like walking into a spa every day.’

Miss Harropp, Nottinghamshire

‘We were recommended by a friend after their extensive kitchen renovations, and I am so glad we were. The team at Steven Christopher Design took us through designing, amending and adjusting our designs before we were in a position that we were happy with the proposed final outcome. All of the way through, Tom and the team were patient, pro-active and full of ideas as to how best achieve our vision. The fitting team were proffesional and the final outcome was perfect. Thoroughly recommend.’

Mr & Mrs Bridge, Nottinghamshire

‘From start to finish the experience of having a new kitchen and a new bathroom was an amazingly positive experience. The designs were amazing and they reflected our needs and taste. The quality of everything from delivery to installation was second to none. Everyone working for this company takes pride in what they do. The follow on from the team making sure everything was to our satisfaction was pleasing too. I can’t recommend them enough really. I have recommended them to family and friends and they have not been disappointed either.’
