In this episode, Faye Newman dives into the world of kitchen extraction systems, comparing ducted and recirculating options. She points out that if you’re cooking with lots of moisture or strong smells, ducted systems are the way to go since they vent air outside. The thing is, they can be pricey to install because they need external ductwork. On the other hand, recirculating systems have come a long way with better filters and are perfect for apartments or homes without outside walls.
Faye talks about brands like Western Cooker Hoods, praising their cool and customised designs that fit right into modern kitchens. She emphasises that getting a pro to install ducted systems is crucial for making sure everything works well.
Key Takeaways
Ducted extraction systems are great for completely getting rid of smoke, grease, odours, and moisture from your home. However, keep in mind that they can be a bit pricey and complicated to install.
Recirculating extraction systems have really stepped up their game lately. With advanced filters, they do a fantastic job of neutralising odours and capturing fine particles. Plus, they’re quicker and easier on the wallet when it comes to installation.
When it comes to choosing the right extraction system for your kitchen, you've got plenty of options to think about. You could go with wall-mounted chimneys for a classic look, angled hoods for something sleek, or even ceiling-mounted systems if you want to save space.
Best Moments
"So it just shows how extraction as a whole is just more powerful now, especially for the venting hobs, they've forward thought to this, especially if you know it needs to be easy to install."
"I would highly recommend doing a little bit more research than you probably did before. If you've done a previous kitchen, or if this is your first kitchen, obviously it's not the most glamorous subject. I completely understand that. But equally, it's a topic that needs to be looked into."
“…It's all about sort of air filtration and making sure that, you know you're not having those nasty polluting vapours around in your kitchen.”

Faye Newman, a freelance kitchen designer, takes listeners through a practical approach to exploring various kitchen appliances, particularly focusing on ovens and hobs. She breaks down the benefits of different oven types, including single, combination, and steam ovens, noting that steam ovens are gaining popularity for their ability to keep nutrients intact while cooking.
Faye also shares handy features like pyrolytic cleaning, heat probes, and flexible cooking zones that make cooking easier. As well as highlighting modern solutions like modular venting hubs and built-in air fryers, providing a straightforward guide to help you choose the right kitchen appliances for your needs.
Key Takeaways
While combination ovens with microwave and grill options are definitely popular, I'd recommend considering steam ovens—they're gaining traction because they do an amazing job of retaining moisture and nutrients in your food.
If you're serious about getting your meats and fish just right, you can't go wrong with heat and food probes. They give you precise internal temperature readings, making it so much easier to cook like a pro!
When it comes to induction hobs, flexi zones are a smart choice. They detect where you place your pans and adjust the heating accordingly, which not only boosts efficiency but also accommodates different pan sizes and shapes—perfect for those larger cooking trays. If you’re leaning towards an induction hob, definitely consider going for a flexi zone for that extra flexibility.
Best Moments
"Now steam ovens are more popular than, say, like the Combi microwave, purely just from a cooking preference, I think, in a sense of the food, it holds the nutrients better. And, you know, it makes, rather than drying out the food, the steam actually sort of aids the cooking process.”
"Pyrolytic cleaning is basically a method of cleaning where the oven heats to, sort of up to 500 degrees. So it's super hot. The door always locks so that you can't just open it mid cycle, and it's where it sort of burns off any grease, you know, anything that's, you know, leftover food, or anything that's in that oven.”
"I'd highly recommend if you are going for induction, to look to go for a flexi zone. So I know obviously that there's more in costs than going for the separate zones, but I just think even if you just have, you know, half of it and then two or three of the zones, again, it just allows you to have the flexibility there for your overall cooking experience.”

In this episode, Faye Newman chats with Richard Hibbert, a well-known name in the UK kitchen industry, about what it takes to create your dream kitchen. They dive into how to find trusted suppliers through the KBSA and the best appliances to consider. Richard shares his journey from chef to managing KSL Sudbury and explains why the KBSA is so beneficial, especially in terms of consumer protection and design awards.
Key Takeaways
When it comes to finding a trusted kitchen supplier, it's crucial to look for organisations like the KBSA (Kitchen Bathroom Bedroom Specialists Association). They do a great job of vetting showrooms and providing consumer protection, ensuring you're in good hands with independent suppliers.
As you start designing your new kitchen, remember that the key is understanding how you use the space. It’s all about tailoring the design to your specific needs and cooking habits, rather than just jumping on the latest trends.
Don’t skimp on quality when it comes to appliances and furniture. Investing in durable, long-lasting options will save you money in the long run. Plus, focus on features that align with your lifestyle—you want your kitchen to be as functional and enjoyable as possible.
Best Moments
“…we want to get all that out of them if they bake. You know, do they need a big area for baking? And sometimes, with the (it's interesting), the kbsa concept award, we give them a concept, and they have to design that concept, and that's what we try and get for a customer.”
“And the way things have changed. I mean, boiling water taps have changed things, because the way you make tea, you don't have a sink and a kettle so much anymore. And steam ovens have meant the hob is less reliant now as well, and things like that. So people's way of cooking is definitely changing and being open to that will definitely give you a better kitchen and work better for you.”
“The most important thing is how you use that space. You're not doing it for anyone else. It's you. Your designer will be good at making sure it works, but really hone in on how you use the space, and that will help you with products and units and that side of it.”
About the Guest
Richard Hibbert is the Managing Director of KSL Sudbury, a kitchen showroom business, and the Chair of the KBSA, an organisation that helps protect consumers and promote quality independent kitchen retailers. With a background as a chef and plenty of experience in the kitchen industry, Richard emphasises the importance of staying current, being collaborative with clients, and providing high-quality service and products through independent, KBSA-vetted showrooms.

In this episode of Love Your Kitchen, host Faye Newman is joined by Feng Shui expert Suzanne Roynon, who explains the principles of Feng Shui and their application in kitchen design and home renovations. She categorises homes into four types based on their impacts on people and finances and discusses the Feng Shui Bagua, a grid that correlates different areas of a home with various life aspects. Suzanne offers practical kitchen design recommendations, such as creating specific zones for making tea and coffee, avoiding open plate racks, and using mirrors strategically. She shares essential tips for homeowners, including ways to analyse energy flow, optimising bedroom setups for relationships, and addressing stagnation in certain areas of the home. The conversation provides valuable insights into improving your kitchen and home environments through Feng Shui principles.
Key Takeaways
If you're looking to harmonise the energy in your home, start by incorporating colours that resonate with the specific energy you want to promote—like greens for growth or blues for calm.
Don’t underestimate the power of materials. Metals, stones, and even water features can create a peaceful balance in your space. Adding plants not only livens things up but also enhances the flow of positive energy.
When it comes to your kitchen, think about creating a separate prep or breakfast area. This setup can make your daily routines feel more organised and enjoyable. Using mirrors behind the hob can amplify the energy and make the space feel brighter—just be mindful of how they reflect!
Best Moments
“Feng Shui is, you know, it's a science that's been used in the Far East for over 5000 years. There is science behind it, not just the Woo. And it's important to say that.”
“If you activate your Feng Shui, you can resolve that you can bring the balance back. That's, that's the glory of Feng Shui. You know, this is why our bad for people and bad for money apartment is now actually very blessed for us. You can change the energy.”
“Grey is a depressant. You know? This is why, in those 20 years when Grey was so prevalent, the amount of anxiety and depression skyrocketed, because people were actively surrounding themselves with grey.”
About the Guest
Suzanne Roynon is a Feng Shui expert with over 35 years of experience. She initially used Western Feng Shui but found traditional Feng Shui assessments led to significant positive changes in her own life. Suzanne is highly knowledgeable about the science behind Feng Shui and has extensive experience helping clients improve the energy and flow of their homes through Feng Shui remedies. She is passionate about sharing her expertise and providing practical, science-based advice.

Faye Newman, a freelance kitchen designer, and host of Love Your Kitchen, discusses ways of integrating Neuroarchitecture principles into kitchen design to enhance well-being. This episode delves into the importance of natural light, using natural materials like solid ash doors and granite worktops, and incorporating biophilic elements such as plants and herb gardens. Faye emphasises the cognitive and emotional benefits of ergonomic design and suggests practical solutions like pull-out drawers and lift-up cupboards to optimise space and reduce strain. Faye also highlights the significance of zoning in kitchen layouts to improve productivity and overall experience when using a kitchen.
Key Takeaways
Neuroarchitecture is an exciting blend of neuroscience and architecture that can really make a difference in how spaces, especially kitchens, impact our well-being and emotions. If you're considering a kitchen redesign, think about incorporating natural light and materials.
Don’t forget about biophilic design by bringing in plants and maybe even a water feature to create a relaxing vibe that promotes well-being. These elements can truly elevate your sensory experience and contribute to a more uplifting environment.
Pay attention to your kitchen layout and storage solutions. A well-organised space, designed with ergonomics in mind, can enhance your productivity and even boost your mood. So, when designing your kitchen, aim for a setup that feels good to use and supports both your mind and body!
Best Moments
"Neuroarchitecture combines principles of neuroscience with architecture, hence the name. It's all about designing spaces to positively impact human well-being, emotions and behaviour.”
"As humans, we react better to nature and natural materials. So again, you could look at the types of materials that you're including, you know, on your door. So like your furniture, if budget allows, don't opt for a vinyl wrap. Try and go for a solid ash door.”
"Studies in Neuroarchitecture focus on how the design of a space can improve cognitive functions. So this will be your focus, your productivity, and also your emotional states, like your calmness, your happiness, or your creativity.”

In this episode, Faye Newman, discusses various breakfast station designs, including the classic dresser and Larder styles that can enhance your morning experience.
Additionally, Nisha Philippa Fernando, presents Kangen Water, a system that transforms ordinary tap water into hydrogen-rich water for drinking and household use. Nisha explains the scientific principles underlying this process, as well as the associated health benefits and the positive environmental impact, particularly in reducing reliance on plastic bottles.
Accompanying episode blog
Key Takeaways
When it comes to designing the perfect breakfast station in your kitchen, think of it as a functional cabinet that will house all your breakfast essentials—like toasters, coffee machines, and even your favourite cereals. It should be a space that makes your morning routine smoother and more enjoyable.
The real magic of Kangen Water lies in its ability to transform ordinary tap water into hydrogen-rich, antioxidant-rich water. With its origins in Japan, this system is gaining popularity worldwide for good reason. It’s a convenient addition that not only improves your hydration but can also elevate your overall wellness.
Installing the Kangen Water machine is a breeze; all you need is a tap diverter and a power outlet. You can place it right in your kitchen or in the utility room, depending on how you plan to use it.
Best Moments
“So these are machines that actually attach to your tap and turn your normal tap water into what I call magic water. When you hear about what it could do, it is pretty magic. So essentially, it's for drinking, for healthy drinking water, and it's something different to normal filtered water, and you'll be hearing about that, but also something that we can replace a lot of toxic products in our home.”
“Mr. Ohshiro, who is the man from Okinawa who started the company, he wanted this to be a company that had a structure that benefited the distributors. So you can only buy through a distributor. You can't buy on retail. You can't buy in a shop, right? And so you need to go to the person, somebody like myself, who is a distributor, who is there to give the personal touch.”
About the Guest
Nisha Philippa Fernando is a distributor and mentor with Enagic for the past four years, specialises in Kangen Water machines that aim to eliminate toxins from the body and home. As an expert in Kangen Water, she explains its production through electrolysis, resulting in hydrogen-rich, antioxidant-rich water.

Love Your Kitchen host Faye Newman, a freelance kitchen designer, reflects on her experiences at Grand Designs, showcasing exciting discoveries such as You Furnish, Steel Vintage, and Love Frankie. In this interview with Jane Horsburgh of Ava Rose Interiors, Jane shares her journey from marketing to interior design, highlighting the significance of understanding client needs and creating personalised spaces. The pair discuss projects including a Victorian townhouse and a modern kitchen featuring a hidden utility door, focusing on practical design, innovative storage solutions, and the use of colour and texture to enhance both functionality and aesthetics.
Key Takeaways
Recognising your client's needs and partnering closely on design briefs is crucial. It’s all about creating a space that truly resonates with them, right from the start.
When it comes to interior design, especially in those trendy open-plan spaces, it’s essential to strike the perfect balance between style and functionality. After all, a beautiful kitchen space should work just as well as it looks!
Don’t underestimate the power of colour, texture, and lighting! These elements can work wonders in defining distinct zones within an open-plan layout, helping to create a sense of flow and purpose while keeping the overall vibe cohesive.
Best Moments
“I think everybody loves colour, you know, regardless, I think, like you say, I think people are scared of it. They're scared of the expense and then getting bored of it. More often than not, it's just a paint over job. If you do, it's not a huge problem.”
“Lighting is so important, even in the kitchen, you need ambient lighting so you know, whether it's in the shelving, whether you've got a butler's pantry or something, and the light is inside, you know, it's like Island pendants if you do have spotlights, which a lot of people do, because you do need it, still, you need that real, practical lighting.”
“I love the the Art Deco movement in the 1920s I love all the glitz and the glamor and the gold accents and the deep colours. Lots of green, lots of plants, lots of natural textures, little bit of wow factor, should we say, with things and just and I think you really get that. You get that elegance and that decadence.”

In this episode of Love Your Kitchen, freelance kitchen designer Faye Newman talks about the stresses of trying to get a kitchen installed before Christmas. Faye suggests that people might be better off waiting until the new year to avoid the holiday rush.
Lisa Palmer, Company Director at Elgar Kitchens shares the perks of working with independent kitchen companies, like getting personalised service, clear communication, and competitive prices. Lisa mentions that the average kitchen costs between £20,000 and £30,000, with an extra £10,000 for additional expenses. Elgar offers a range of styles, including popular shaker designs, and they focus on delivering quality and keeping clients happy. Lisa also reflects on her own kitchen renovation experience, highlighting how crucial it is to plan well and have solid support during the installation process.
Key Takeaways
Timing is crucial when planning a kitchen renovation before Christmas - it's important to start the process early and be realistic about lead times to avoid stress and delays.
When you’re on the hunt for the right kitchen company, take some time to research local independents. Check out their reviews and be open about your budget—this will help you find a good match that fits your needs.
Going with an independent kitchen company can be a fantastic alternative to the big chains. You’ll often find that they offer quality and customisation that rivals even the premium brands, giving you the stylish and functional kitchen you’ve always wanted!
Best Moments
"We wanted to set up an environment that was nice, an environment that was pressure free, an environment that people felt they're comfortable to make a decision in and made an informed decision in a decent timeline, rather than being pressured because we're doing a discount or a sale or something.”
"We use a local supplier, so we use a local factory, yeah, because we're one of their biggest clients, they give us the biggest discounts. So we're able to pass those savings on to our clients.”
"Kitchens have gone up 30% since covid. So a kitchen that was £20,000 is now £26,000. That's a huge increase on a big-ticket item. So we're having to manage clients expectations that haven't bought kitchen for 10 years.”
About the Guest
Lisa Palmer is the co-founder and owner of Elgar Kitchens and Bedrooms, an independent kitchen company based in Worcester. Lisa has been working in the kitchen industry for nearly 30 years, starting with larger corporate brands like Howdens and Benchmarks. Lisa felt the larger companies were more focused on the sale than providing a quality kitchen and personal service to clients. This inspired her to start Elgar Kitchens 5 years ago with a business partner.

In this episode of Love Your Kitchen, Faye Newman dives into the often chaotic renovation stage of a kitchen project, specifically the period when the kitchen is being fully ripped out. Faye shares some practical advice on how to navigate this challenging time, including tips for setting up a temporary kitchen that keeps your cooking routine functioning amidst the mess.
Key Takeaways
When setting up a temporary kitchen during your renovation, think outside the box! Consider using a camping stove or a microwave, and don’t underestimate the power of an air fryer. Batch cooking can also be a lifesaver—prepare meals in advance and store them in a separate freezer to keep perishables safe and sound.
It's crucial to maintain open lines of communication with your kitchen fitters and renovation team. Regular check-ins can keep you in the loop about the timeline and alert you to any potential delays. This way, there won’t be any surprises!
If you're looking for a more structured solution, renting a temporary kitchen pod might be just what you need. These self-contained units can provide you with a separate cooking and living space, helping to minimise disruption and maintain some level of normalcy during the chaos.
Best Moments
“…so a remote control robot can take over and do the rest of the delivery for us. So the robot. Everybody loves the robot, the robot's nicknamed Betty. Everyone loves it when Betty gets deployed. Actually, you can see some videos of Betty in action on our reels, on social media.”
“We listen, we learn, and we're always listening, learning, so we're always keen to hear feedback.”
“So to give you an option of if we can give you a temporary kitchen facility, would you prefer to stay in your own home? Most people are going to say yes please. And with this, they can, and they can. They can continue to make their meals every day. They can do their laundry. They can keep their life on track.”

In this episode, Faye Newman discusses a kitchen design project for a young couple in Worcestershire who are embarking on their first kitchen renovation. They aimed to create a traditional, timeless kitchen that aligns with their passion for hosting and cooking. The design process focused on key elements such as layout, appliance integration, storage, and natural lighting, particularly as the clients were adding a single-story extension to their home.
Accompanying episode blog: https://www.fayenewmandesign.com/blog
Key Takeaways
Throughout the design process, Faye had to think about lots of important factors—like the layout, appliance integration, storage solutions, and bringing in as much natural light as possible.
One of the fun challenges was balancing the client's desire for an island with the practical needs of the space. In the end, Faye suggested a peninsula layout, which turned out to be a smart choice. The final design features a U-shaped layout complete with that peninsula, a handy corner pantry, and integrated appliances.
To keep things looking cohesive, they went for a neutral colour scheme with classic touches like Shaker-style doors. For the finishes, the clients chose a brushed brass tap, matching brass hardware, and a lovely light marble-look worktop—these selections enhanced the overall traditional vibe.
If you're considering a kitchen revamp, think about how even small adjustments like a peninsula can make a big difference!
Best Moments
"Whenever I do a kitchen design, I always think about, what's the best place for your appliances?"
"We decided to go for stacked appliances, free-standing, and then integrate that into a big cupboard. And then that still allowed for, say, like 100 mil or, like a smaller space for your ironing board and things next to it."
"What's really good with the Burbage style of doors as well is that the T and G panels come at the same cost as their plain panels, so they're reversible, which means that if you're unsure whether you want to go for T and G panels everywhere, you can make that decision on site as well if you want to.”

In this episode of the Love Your Kitchen podcast, hosted by Fay Newman, we revisit insightful conversations about creating your dream kitchen.
First, we chat with Steven Johnson from Quooker UK and Ireland about the benefits of boiling, warm, and drinking water taps, highlighting their convenience and sustainability by reducing water waste.
Next, kitchen designer Johnny Gray shares how he crafts kitchens that reflect individual styles and lifestyles, making the space feel uniquely like home.
Myles Sharples from Focus Architects discusses the importance of understanding client needs and navigating the complexities of planning permission for a smooth project experience.
Kate Parslow offers tips on selecting kitchen colours that complement fixed elements, helping create a cohesive and inviting atmosphere. Catherine Salmon talks about the benefits of biophilic design, emphasising how natural elements can enhance well-being.
Graham Robinson, from Halcyon Interiors, discusses where to start a design with a client.
Helen Lord, director of Rehome, highlights the advantages of considering pre-owned kitchens, which are both budget-friendly and sustainable.
Best Moments
"We want to give a value for money proposition. So we started with the add on of ambient, cold, filtered water. And what, what we do is we take tap water and we change the taste and the odor, so we're making it taste nice for you.” Steven Johnson
"Preparing food takes the longest and it's the most social of all the activities. So in answering your question, how do you make it suit someone's personality? Well, I think by giving them, initially, we do three designs, and the first design will be what the clients think they want.” Johnny Grey
"It's really important to stress that these [permitted development orders] do have a lot of caveats, and they need to be a bit depart, and it's not a blanket approach.” Myles Sharples
"Don't follow trends slavishly well in terms of anything, but particularly in this case, in terms of colour. Think about what colours you love. Think about the colours that resonate with you.” Kate Parslow
"Nature's a massive influence to me, and it's where I feel most at home, and it's where I've certainly found this purpose in trying to help people design sustainably and biophilic design is really beautiful.” Catherine Salmon
"I wouldn't knock a microwave, because it's up to people. But I think there are other other ways of cooking and reheating food. Might be slower, but it's about results.” Graham Robinson

Faye and Ross continue their chat about how textures and profiles can elevate kitchen worktops. They discuss stylish options like leathered finishes that add a touch of luxury, and how the right texture is key for minimalist and Scandinavian designs. The duo also talk about natural stones, covering the ins and outs of pricing and selection.
Accompanying blog: Incorporating Texture into Your Kitchen Worktop
Key Takeaways
When it comes to worktop textures, don’t just settle for a polished finish. Think about options like leather effect, honed or matte surfaces, and textured finishes. These can really ramp up both the visual appeal and practicality of your kitchen.
Why not play around with the worktop profile too? Instead of sticking with the standard square edge, consider profiles like Bull Nose, OG, or even double-layered edges. These choices can beautifully enhance both traditional and contemporary designs.
Here’s a fun idea: mix and match materials! Inlaying brass into wood, for example, can create a striking design statement while also fulfilling different functional needs. It’s all about letting your creativity shine and making your kitchen uniquely yours.
Best Moments
“It's the exciting thing about marbles. The exciting thing about all natural stone is that element of chaos. If you look at any of the best kitchen designs, you can have, muted is a great word. You can have muted doors. You can have a muted floor. You can have so on. But you need something that has life.”
“…porcelain worktops have been quite clever in the idea that they do different textures. They'll do a polished, a honed, and then they'll do a more textured finish…”
“I've even got one that's becoming very popular, actually, as a fantastic display was done down south, lovely. It's called black lava, but it actually looks like black leather.”

This episode of Love Your Kitchen focuses on kitchen worktops, featuring an interview with Ross Williamson, Sales Director at The Surface Collection. The discussion covers various worktop materials, including laminates, ceramics, solid surfaces like granite and quartz, and new options like porcelain and recycled materials.
Faye and Ross highlight the importance of cohesive design and the practical considerations of different materials, such as durability, maintenance, and cost. They go on to explain the sealing process for natural stones and the benefits of porcelain worktops.
Key Takeaways
When you're picking the right worktop, it's super important to think about how it fits into your entire design scheme.
Bringing samples home to see them in different lighting will make a huge difference. Materials can look totally different in photos or even on small samples, so it’s worth doing a little extra legwork!
Don’t forget to seal your worktops every year, especially if you’re going for natural stone. This little step can really help prevent stains and damage down the line. Your fabricator will have some great insights on which sealant works best for your specific material and finish, so don’t hesitate to ask them for advice.
Best Moments
"And one of the clever things, I think, that the Thomas groups managed to do is adapt with the time. So originally, even 12 years ago, the majority of work was granites, and then quartz came into the scene.”
“We pride ourselves on the fact that we are not tied to one particular factory that we import from. So we have a more bespoke range.”
"Granite is an igneous stone, which just basically means as comes from volcanoes. Okay, so it's not as hard as quartzite, but it's pretty much up there. The latter comes out as lava. It cools down. That's how you get those amazing like, the cosmic black we looked at before. Yeah, that's lava flow. That causes that, which is just, that's amazing, isn't it, you know, so there's a real bit of life and chaos in there.”

On this episode of Love Your Kitchen, Faye Newman caught up with Paul Higgs and they share advice for anyone looking to venture into self-building, particularly when it comes to finding the right land. Recommendations include making direct approaches to landowners instead of relying solely on auctions or estate agents. There is also emphasis on the importance of having a solid contingency budget in place, especially if you're dealing with older properties.
When it comes to kitchen design, Paul and Faye dive into how to create spaces that cater to a wide audience. They talk about the balancing act between modern and traditional styles, as well as the crucial mix of functionality and fashion in kitchen design. Paul also shares his favourite kitchen styles, reminding us that it’s essential to consider the overall style and age of the house when choosing a kitchen design.
Key Takeaways
When it comes to designing kitchens, really consider the target market and striking a balance between modern and traditional styles. Functionality is always top of mind, a kitchen should be as practical as it is beautiful!
Paul is deeply passionate about biophilic design. He believes in creating that connection between people and nature, it brings a warm, inviting vibe to the spaces he creates.
On the topic of energy efficiency, Paul takes a solid approach with what he calls a "fabric-first" strategy. This means starting with great insulation and ensuring air tightness before choosing efficient appliances. By focusing on these fundamentals, you can really enhance the energy performance of a space while keeping things comfortable and sustainable.
Best Moments
"I'm actually a chartered Planning and Development surveyor. Years ago, well, 40 years ago, actually, I bought a house with a mate of mine, bit of an old wreck. We did it up even in some weekends. Took us about two years, and eventually sold it and made and made a few quid.”
"2008 when the credit crunch hit, was seriously painful for me. All my I had quite a few big sites on the go. They were funded by RBS that pulled the plug on all of the deals. So I nearly went bankrupt. Basically, I had to sell everything that I owned in order to pay people make sure no one lost money apart for me.”
"I'm very much into this thing called biophilic design, right, which is about wellness and feeling good and being healthy, and it all really relates to the connection with nature.

In this episode, host Faye Newman speaks to Keith Sutton, who is a carpenter, builder and kitchen fitter from Worcestershire. Faye and Keith have worked together as kitchen designer and fitter for nearly 5 years and Keith has been a carpenter since 1987, fitting his first kitchen in 1992. They discuss the kitchen installation process, the do's and don’ts and the customer/installer relationship.
Key Takeaways:
It's crucial (for a kitchen fitter) to manage customer expectations, especially with older homes where hidden issues may arise. Regular communication and site meetings help keep clients informed and involved, ensuring a positive working relationship.
Always consult a structural engineer to ensure safety and compliance when making alterations, as their calculations are necessary for proper steel support and building control approval. It is essential to work with reputable professionals who provide transparent costs upfront, ensuring no corners are cut and all renovations meet safety and legal standards.
Strong communication between clients, fitters, and designers is essential for successful projects, as it ensures the final product matches expectations and avoids surprises during installation.
Best Moments
‘Social media is a great thing now, because you can actually ask people what they thought of a certain company or a certain fitter, a certain tradesman, a certain designer, and you can make your own mind up from that. A good designer, a top designer, is worth their weight in gold’
‘Make sure you ask them (your kitchen fitter) for structural engineers advice first before taking a wall out. If they go along the lines of, no, you don't need a structural engineer, I would walk straight away from them’.
‘Take your time and do your homework. So many people do just go to the big chains, they think they're going to get ripped off and it's going to be more expensive from the smaller independents. The best designers that I've worked for are from independents, they will cherry-pick their designers’.
‘Now, as a customer, it’s absolutely imperative that you strike up a good relationship with your tradesmen. You've got to be open with each other from the day you ring their doorbell as a fitter to go and have a look at what they want’.

In this episode, host Faye Newman discusses various kitchen styles and factors to consider when choosing one, aiming to simplify the decision-making process. Faye understands that selecting a kitchen style can be overwhelming, especially with the wide array of options available in showrooms, so guides you on where to start and how to identify personal preferences. Additionally, you will get practical tips, including the pros and cons of different styles.
Key Takeaways:
When designing a handleless kitchen, consider the seamless integration of materials, colours, and features like floating plinths, while keeping in mind technical and fitting aspects to ensure a cohesive and functional design.
Consider both traditional and contemporary styles when choosing a kitchen to meet your functional and aesthetic preferences. Explore options like integrated handles, push-to-open mechanisms, and combinations of materials to achieve a balance between sleek modernity and classic warmth, tailoring choices to your space and cleaning preferences.
Before choosing specific kitchen door styles, prioritise a functional and timeless kitchen layout. Consider factors such as space, cost, and style options, and consult with knowledgeable designers to understand all available features and customisation possibilities.
Best Moments
‘You've got the shaker door, which we all know and love, or you might loathe it if you've currently got that in your kitchen at the moment, and you know you want something different. There's different styles of shaker and it's a style that's been going for 300 plus years’.
‘I think the cons to in-frame is the price point because they are, I would say they're the most expensive traditional style, purely just because of the extra detailing, the extra materials for the framework, the extra carpentry involved’.
‘If you go for a metal colour, you could have a rose gold handleless rail as well as the plinth underneath. When it comes to detail you can really, really go for a bespoke style that suits you’.
‘Say one of you does want to go for contemporary and say you want to go for a traditional, maybe look at the combination between the two so you can both find elements that you love about your kitchen and then you just transform it to suit your preferences’.

On this episode of Love Your Kitchen, Faye Newman and Graham Robinson discuss approaches for designing timeless, personalised kitchens that are tailored to each client's individual needs and preferences.
Faye and Graham cover the importance of neutral, high-quality materials and finishes to create a lasting, versatile kitchen design. Graham also explains the benefits of steam ovens over combination microwaves, including better cooking results and nutrient retention. The value of understanding clients' habits and routines to optimise storage and functionality in the kitchen is another key topic.
This episode provides insights on balancing aesthetics and practicality, from appliance selection to internal organisation and the process of creating a dream kitchen that supports your well-being and lifestyle.
Key Takeaways
When designing a kitchen, focus on creating a timeless, personalised space that caters to a client's unique needs and preferences.
Opt for neutral, high-quality materials and finishes to ensure a lasting, versatile look. And don't forget the power of steam - steam ovens offer superior cooking results and better nutrient retention compared to combination microwaves.
It's crucial to understand your client's habits and routines to optimise the kitchen's storage and functionality. Balance aesthetics and practicality, from appliance selection to internal organisation, for a truly successful design.
Best Moments
“It's getting to know the client and designing it specifically for that client. Keeping it as timeless as possible. So avoiding trends and the latest looks, keeping it neutral in colour, neutrally, maybe texture. And the idea is that you're going to like it now. But you know, 10 or 12 years time when you come down to the kitchen or breakfast, you still like it?”
"If they really want gas, and they like cooking on gas, or they use the naked flame for something, then let them have it. But just, again, it's tailoring it and listening. The pros and cons of both.”
“It's just getting to the bottom of what's important to them, and making them feel comfortable enough to talk to you about everything.”

In this episode of Love Your Kitchen, Faye Newman discusses the concept of timeless kitchen design, providing tips on how to create a space that remains functional and stylish over time. Faye emphasises the importance of neutral colours, high-quality materials, classic hardware, and functionality in creating a cohesive and efficient kitchen design.
The episode also features an interview with David Sanders from Blum, a company that specialises in hinges, drawers, and lift systems. David shares an overview of Blum's history, products, and philosophy, highlighting their commitment to quality and durability.
Key Takeaways
When it comes to designing your kitchen, don't be afraid to splurge on high-quality materials that'll stand the test of time - think solid wood or top-notch countertops.
The Vago pocket door system from Blum is a game-changer. It's all about seamless integration. With this system, you'll get a sleek, modern look that'll make your kitchen feel like a luxury oasis.
When you're designing your kitchen, remember that functionality should be at the forefront of your mind. A kitchen that's both beautiful and functional is a recipe for success. And let's be real, who doesn't love a kitchen that makes cooking and cleaning a breeze? That's exactly what Blum's products are designed to deliver - ease of use and practicality.
Best Moments
“So, if we go right back to the start, 1952 Blum was created by a guy called Julius Blum, Blacksmith by trade. And his first ever product was a horseshoe stud. So completely different to what we're doing now.”
"I always recommend if you're going for anything small to go for the high sides. Otherwise you're having Tupperware fall out on the floor, which we do, and if you have a full box, it increases the drawer capacity by about 55%.”
“In our factories when you go to Austria, there's an opportunity for the products to go through 27,000 different checks as it goes from a flat piece of steel to a fully functioning product.”
About the Guest
David Sanders works in Customer Engagement for Blum, a leading manufacturer of high-quality kitchen products.

In this episode of Love Your Kitchen, Faye Newman explores common myths about kitchen design and discusses how independent designers can offer more affordable options to help clients achieve their desired style within their budget. The discussion also delves into the benefits and growing importance of sustainability in the kitchen industry, with a focus on recycling and reusing kitchen materials to reduce waste as well as saving money.
Key Takeaways
Don't buy into common kitchen design myths like the working triangle or the need for the latest trends. Instead, focus on creating a functional space that meets your specific needs and budget.
As an independent kitchen designer, Faye can offer more affordable options that help you achieve the style you want without breaking the bank. And, with a little creativity, we can make it happen within your budget.
Did you know that reusing and reselling kitchens can be a fantastic way to save big bucks and reduce waste? By choosing to repurpose or resell your existing kitchen, you can make a sustainable choice that's also kind to your wallet.
Best Moments
"Try not to get fixated on achieving the working triangle just work on the right and most functional design for your kitchen.”
"The reality is there is a bit of on work required if you're going to reuse a worktop. Likewise, laminate worktops very rarely can be successfully reused because they're quite difficult to remove without splitting, because they're stuck together.”
“The industry has put so much thought and effort and expertise into making beautiful products from sustainable sources.”

In this episode of Love Your Kitchen, Faye Newman explores the benefits and process of collaborating with an independent kitchen designer. Faye shares her personal journey from working in showrooms to establishing her own freelance business, and provides an inside look at the 7-step design process. From initial consultations to site surveys, design creation, and supplier sourcing, Faye walks through every stage of the process.
Unlike big-box retailers, independent designers can help streamline the process, saving you time and money on your kitchen renovation project. Tune in to learn how an independent kitchen designer can help you achieve your dream kitchen without breaking the bank.
Key Takeaways
When it comes to choosing a supplier, don't just focus on the price tag - make sure you're also considering their customer service and communication style.
An independent designer will help you navigate the supplier selection process and spot potential issues before they become major headaches.
When it comes to designing your kitchen, functionality and layout should be your top priorities. 'Form follows function' as the saying goes - so making sure the layout is right before thinking about styles and aesthetics is important. By focusing on the functionality first, your kitchen is not only beautiful, but also optimised for your needs and lifestyle.
Best Moments
“Clients find that having that design in place prior to then going to look round showrooms or sit down and have the same conversation with a few suppliers, saves time.”
“Send your kitchen dimensions over, we can have a video call, I've had it before where clients FaceTime me, and they've taken me through the space as well. So we can adapt the service to whatever's needed to help you for your projects.”
“It doesn't matter if you've got the perfect kitchen design, the perfect layout, the perfect room to put it in. It's all about making sure that you've got the right team around you.”
