Fabulous Designs Manchester based kitchen designer Diane Berry believes that a kitchen should be a combination of style, uncomplicated detail and comfort. A chat with the designer...
Why did you opt to be a kitchen design specialist?
I find kitchens to be the most challenging. I also believe that to be a true expert you need to choose one room and become obsessive about every aspect of that room. Not many designers enjoy designing a kitchen. A designer should have enough product knowledge about a large range of products, which are changing all the time. This is my thirty seventh year designing, and I pride myself in keeping up to date with minute details.
The kitchen has undergone a sea change over the years. Agree?
I completely agree. The kitchen is now the hub of the home; in fact, the nerve center. They are often massive spaces that include dining areas, relaxation zones and even bars. Family moments these days are more often in the kitchen, whether it’s delivering good or bad news. I feel happy when I design spaces that are social and easy to live in and filled with family moments to remember.
Kitchen appliances today are really smart. How would you go about designing the perfect kitchen for the right placement of the gadgets?
