We understand the problem

We’re not like other kitchen designers

Beau Bijou is an independent, design-led kitchen consultancy that helps homeowners create better kitchens through expert design, impartial advice and access to the best suppliers. Unlike traditional kitchen showrooms, Beau Bijou isn’t tied to a single brand or product range, allowing them to design around your needs, compare suppliers, secure competitive pricing and guide you from concept to completion with complete transparency.

How it works

A simple journey, guided all the way

Six clear steps take you from a free conversation to a finished kitchen — with an expert on your side at every one.

01

Free consultation

A no-obligation conversation about your property, project stage, practical needs, style, timescale and budget. Impartial guidance — never a hard sell.

02

Brief & options

We turn your requirements into a clear direction: the type of kitchen, supplier route and service level that best fit your brief. If another route suits you better, we will say so.

03

Independent design

Professional planning, detailed layouts, photo-realistic visuals and revisions — a design created for your room and your life, not to sell one company’s range.

04

Supplier selection & quote

We compare suitable options from vetted suppliers and recommend the best fit for your priorities and budget — with an itemised quotation you can actually understand.

05

Order & delivery

Design confirmed, quotation agreed, order placed. We give you a clear checklist of what happens before installation so there are no surprises.

06

Installation support

Local to our showroom we can provide and manage the fitter. Elsewhere, use your own fitter or ask for an introduction to a genuinely recommended installer once your kitchen is ordered.

Our customers say it better than we can

★★★★★
Beau Bijou have designed 2 kitchens for us and each time we’ve been delighted. One large kitchen and one smaller space — both just perfect for our needs.
Christine Keighley, West Yorkshire Replacement kitchen
★★★★★
The design Richard did for me was far better than my kitchen shop’s, and I saved £800 on my worktops using their trade account. My fitter loved the plans too — so easy to read.
Luke Leeds, West Yorkshire Independent design
★★★★★
I never thought about using a designer for my kitchen until I found Beau Bijou. After 3 designs by retailers, the difference was amazing and the recommendations saved me a lot of money.
Samantha Orpington, Greater London Remote design
★★★★★
Richard spent a long time talking me through all the options. The designs were better than I’d hoped — really amazing. My Calacatta gold quartz worktops are beautiful. So happy!

From start to finish, Chris was quick, reliable and incredibly responsive. His dedication made the whole process seamless and stress-free. We couldn’t be happier.

Who is Beau Bijou Design

The name pays homage to our son, Beau — “Bijou” meaning jewel — a nod to the meticulous detail and quality I strive to deliver in every kitchen design.

After years across the kitchen industry, Richard saw how the big chains prioritise quick turnover and margin over design quality. Beau Bijou takes a different approach: fairness, honesty, transparency and customer-first advice — with the savings from our buying power passed straight to you.
