Acanthus Design Review
I just wanted to reiterate how pleased we are with our finished kitchen. The change is dramatic to say the least, and it has quickly become the focal point of our home, rather than a dingy space where food is prepared. Every aspect of the process from initial consultation to final fit was clearly communicated and stress-free. Even further than that, it was actually fun. That’s not a feeling we’ve ever experienced in previous house projects. I had a clear vision in my head of how I wanted this kitchen to feel, but never felt I was able to put into words how that might be. It feels exactly like I imagined – and now I CAN put it into words. Cosy, warm, modern, funky, individual and stunning. It’s been great watching people’s jaws drop when the walk in, and I’ve had several people say ‘Nicky, it’s so YOU.’ That you managed to do that with my inexpert ramblings and vague ideas from our first meeting is very impressive. The kitchen itself is very well-made. It feels incredibly sturdy and fits together beautifully. We had been used to gaps and cracks so this is wonderful. Every member of the Acanthus team and Phil Maitland’s team were really friendly and professional. Never patronising when I clearly had no idea what they were talking about, (which was most of the time) everyone was able to communicate effectively the jobs they were completing, the decisions I needed to make and the choices I had to opt between. We have business cards from a wide variety of professionals that we would not hesitate to recommend to friends in the future. The appliances recommended by you, are all far superior to what we had in place before. Being advised by Acanthus on the make and model of all six appliances saved us a massive amount of time and effort that would have been spent trawling the Internet with no clear idea.”
