Why a Magnet design is a smart design

Smart Design

Creating stunning kitchens is what Magnet do best, because it’s all we do. We’re the UK’s largest kitchen retailer and part of the biggest kitchen group in Europe, so we’re always on top of the latest kitchen trends, technologies and design possibilities.

And we’re totally committed to making every inch of your kitchen look fantastic and work as ergonomically as possible. That’s why we offer our designers specialist, independently endorsed training courses, to ensure that they give you a highly skilled one-to-one design service from start to finish. It’s also why we’ve invested in training academies across the country to ensure that our designers and installers offer the best service available.

With over 90 years’ experience, we understand that there’s no such thing as ‘one size fits all’ and that there’s no set formula to follow in kitchen design. Instead, Magnet designers pride themselves on listening, collaborating and creating totally unique kitchens that are as individual as you are.

Whatever your tastes, passions, ideas, inspirations, budget restrictions, space limitations or appliance necessities, we will work with you to come up with your perfect design. And as a result, no two kitchens need ever be the same.

If you can’t wait to start planning your kitchen, here are a few things you might want to consider. Then, whenever you’re ready, pop into Magnet and let your personal designer start bringing your ideas to life.

Your space

Think about how you currently use your kitchen space. What works and what doesn’t. Then think about how you would like to use your space better in the future.

Your ideas

See as many kitchens as possible - in magazines, showrooms and on the internet to start getting an idea of what you do and don’t like.

Your home

Think about what type of kitchen might suit your property. The right kitchen for a Victorian terrace will be considerably different to the ideal kitchen for a country cottage or city centre flat.

Your budget

When deciding how much you want to spend on your kitchen, think about what that budget needs to include. Building work, plastering, flooring and professional installation for instance. You might also want it to cover the cost of particular worktop surfaces and appliance brands. All of these factors can have a big impact on your budget. if you’re unsure about costs, your Magnet designer can assist you with suggestions to help your budget go further.

Your peace of mind

With so many different retailers, designs and options available, you need to feel confident that you’re making the right choice. So don’t be afraid to ask questions about the length of product guarantees; the quality of the kitchens; whether the kitchens are rigid built or flatpack; the level of training and expertise the designers and installers have. A confident retailer should be able to answer all these questions happily and your Magnet designer certainly will.
