Professional kitchen design — whoever supplies the kitchen
Looking for an independent or freelance kitchen designer? We create professional, detailed kitchen designs whether you have already chosen a supplier, are considering a self-supply route, or want impartial advice on the best options for your budget.
Who this service is for
You have found a kitchen you love
You know where you want to buy — you just need a professional plan that makes it work in your room.
You are considering self-supply
Sourcing units yourself? A professional, fitter-ready design removes the guesswork and the costly mistakes.
You want a second opinion
Already have a retailer design? We will review it impartially and show you what could work harder.
You want design plus delivery
Design first, then sourcing, pricing and fitting support — the full independent service if you want it.
Supplier-agnostic, always
We happily design around a supplier you have already selected — and because we are independent, we can also tell you honestly if another option would serve your brief better. Either way, the design answers to you.
How the design service works
Brief → measurements and information → layout development → photo-realistic visuals → revisions → final specification, ready for supply and fitting. You get a design any fitter can build from and any supplier can quote against.
From design to delivery
Most customers ask us to stay involved after the design: sourcing the kitchen, securing the right price and supporting installation. That is the full Beau Bijou service — yours if you want it, never forced.

Advice that is not driven by one manufacturer’s range prevents unsuitable choices before an order is placed. A few hundred pounds of professional design routinely saves thousands in wrong turns.

★★★★★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!Carol West Yorkshire Replacement kitchen
