When Peter and Mary Murray were planning their extension, they sought the design and build expertise of Cowbridge based kitchen and interiors company Room For Living to create their dream kitchen.
DESIGNED FOR LIFE
We asked Mary what led her to choose Room for Living
I had visited one other kitchen company in Cardiff (who didn't even get back to me) and it was whilst visiting Cowbridge one day, I popped into the Room for Living showroom where I was introduced to Jo Buckerfield, one of the company's designers. I was very impressed and so, the next day, I took my husband Pete along to meet them.
What was it about Jo that you liked?
Her manner and customer approach was outstanding and she seemed genuinely enthusiastic about the project.
Did you have an idea of how you wanted your kitchen to look?
After much thought, Pete and I decided on a modern kitchen rather than a traditional country kitchen, as we both wanted a very clean look with ultra modern appliances. We had a rough idea as to the look and layout we wanted and together came up with a basic brief and then left it all to Jo. She came up with a couple of plans and we chose the one we liked. There was no fuss and Jo helped us to choose the worktop and floor tiles.
Are you pleased with the end result?
Our kitchen looks even better than the computer images Jo produced and the whole family is delighted with the outcome.
How does the new kitchen fit into the extension?
We have had a courtyard amalgamated into the house. Using this and our old kitchen area gives us a whole new space. The architect was Sion Williams from Kotzmuth and Williams. We wanted the kitchen to be the hub of the household and for our other rooms to flow from there.
How do you use your new kitchen?
We now spend the whole time there and in the cinema room which leads directly off from it. The kitchen is great to cook in as it flows so well. Room for Living recommended Miele appliances and even offered us the chance to attend a course to learn how to use the oven and steam oven to their full capabilities, which was really useful!
How long did the extension process take?
The builders were on site for nine months and they have been incredible. We used Michael Coxe from Northrise and would thoroughly recommend him.
You seem to be lucky with your choice of companies working on the project?
Yes, we have, especially when you
hear nightmare stories of projects
taking much longer than they should
and things going wrong. The whole
job has gone smoothly and the team
from Room for Living have been
superb. Their customer care has
been truly outstanding.
