Hand drawn plans and artisit's impressions.

Working with you to achieve your perfect kitchen - GVS DESIGN COMPANY.

Kitchens, bedrooms, studies and bathrooms.

Through the years I have always prefered hand drawing my plans and my clients have too. I see many computer drawn plans and visuals and
don't get very excited with them I'm affraid. I have had to use some of the CAD systems around and agree that they are quicker to use which
is obviously an asset, but I still prefer the look of hand drawn. As I am drawing I am thinking of the room and if the fitter will have any problems installing the furniture, not how the "package" works. I use the computer a lot for photographic work and word proccessing but still sharpen my pencils for drawing!

Whilst I was designing kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms and studies I gained a vast ammount of knowledge with regard to both design and installation of furniture. I had many years working with handmade bespoke furniture manufacturers that produced extreemly good quality furniture and this made me very aware of what can be acheived when the best product is used for the right project. This does not always mean using the most expensive - more a case of researching which company provides the most suitable product within a budget appropriate for the project.

Designing for Dorset Kitchen companies.

The majority of my work is for private clients who are either replacing a kitchen or extending or building new houses so my work is quite varied.
I design for the three Dorset kitchen companies whose details are in "links" and this keeps me up to date with the latest happenings in the kitchen industry. Although I am not financially conected to any of these companies I always recommend them as they each offer individual
services and different product ranges. All three are great companies to work with and we have a good working relationship.

Professional Kitchen Designer for Kitchen plans and artist's impressions

New kitchens on the Channel Islands, Kitchens on the Isle of Man and Kitchens in France.

I live near Dorchester in Dorset and travel the length and breadth of the country designing kitchens for clients who like the idea of working with
a designer who is interested in the best design for them and who will listen to their needs. A lot of my kitchen designing is done in and around London and Surrey but Cambridgeshire, Hampshire, Sussex, Nottinghamshire, all of Scotland, Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man and even France all get to see me quite often too!

A professional kitchen designer allows freedom of choice for the client. I had been designing and selling kitchens for 17 years and often felt that some clients were not getting the full choice available as I could only offer what I sold. I realised that it would be of more help to many people
if I could suggest products or companies that would allow the client more freedom. The only way I could see this would work was to become
an independent freelance kitchen designer and provide impartial advice for my clients.
