Kitchen and bathroom questions, answered
The questions we're asked most in our showrooms and on the phone, answered plainly. If yours isn't here, call Market Harborough on 01858 906522 or Wigston on 0116 288 2222.
Costs
How much will my kitchen or bathroom cost?
It depends on the size of the room, the layout and what you choose, from doors and worktops to taps and tiles. The quickest honest answer comes from a design appointment, where we talk through what matters to you and then put a proper design and quote together.
Can you design to my budget?
Yes. Tell us your budget at the design appointment and we'll design around it. If a feature is worth the money, we'll help you have it properly. If it won't get used, we'll say so and put the money where you'll notice it every day.
Will I know the full cost before I commit?
Yes. Your designer will go through everything included in your quote before you go ahead, so you know exactly what you're paying for and when. It's one reason customers so often mention in their reviews that there were no hidden or unexpected extras.
The process
What should I bring to my appointment?
Anything that helps us picture your room: rough measurements, photos of the space as it is now, a floor plan and pictures of rooms you like. Don't worry if you have none of these. We can measure up properly later.
What are the stages from first visit to finished room?
There are four stages. First, a design appointment at a showroom or at home. Second, we draw up your design and show it to you in 3D. Third, once you're happy, your order goes into production. Finally, your room is fitted and we walk through it with you.
Will I see my design before anything is made?
Yes. We use ArtiCAD design software to create 3D visuals of your room, so you can see the layout, colours and finishes first. It's the easiest way to check a walkway is wide enough or an island sits in the right place, while changes are still simple.
Can you design more than one room at the same time?
Yes, and plenty of our customers do. We design kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and home interiors, so we can plan several rooms together and make colours, finishes and flooring work as a whole. Mention every room you're thinking about at your design appointment.
Manufacturing
How long does it take to make my furniture?
Once your design is signed off, manufacturing typically takes 4 to 6 weeks. Your designer will give you a timeline for your own project, including when fitting can start. If you have a date in mind, tell us at the start and we'll be straight about what's realistic.
Does my furniture arrive flat-packed?
No. Everything we make in our workshop is delivered fully assembled. That means it's built square and checked before it leaves us, and your fitter spends their time fitting rather than assembling, which helps the work on site go smoothly.
Can you make furniture in any size or colour?
Yes. Because we make our own furniture, we're not limited to standard sizes, so awkward corners, alcoves and sloping ceilings get used properly. We can finish pieces in the colour you have in mind, from a vanity unit to match your tiles to a larder in a shade you love.
Aftercare
What happens if something goes wrong after fitting?
Call us. Renovations rarely go entirely to plan, and what matters is what happens when something needs sorting. Once we've taken on your project, whatever it takes to get it right is on us, and we're still at the end of the phone long after the work is finished.
Who do I contact if I need help after my room is finished?
Call the showroom you dealt with: Market Harborough on 01858 906522 or Wigston on 0116 288 2222, or email sales@interiorsbydesignuk.com. We know your project and who worked on it, so you won't have to explain it all from the start, and we'll sort out what needs doing.
Showrooms
What’s the difference between your two showrooms?
Our Market Harborough design centre has working kitchens, bathrooms, fitted bedrooms, flooring and tiles under one roof, so start there if you're planning a bathroom or more than one room. Our Wigston showroom is mainly kitchens and sits beside the workshop where we make our furniture.
